China Eastern and Air China deals: US to/from Asia for $500 round trip

China Eastern Airlines has a decidedly mediocre website, and sometimes it's hard to find the flights that match the sales they advertise. But for $268 one-way from New York to Hong Kong, or even less from the West Coast, it's hard to be mad. Unlike a lot of "sales" from Chinese airlines, this price DOES include tax and fees!


Now, it looks like you may not be able to get that price if you buy only one-way, which sucks if you want to fly into one airport, do some exploring, and fly out of another. Still, though, keep your eye on China Eastern: http://us.ceair.com/

Air China is having a 10% off sale this weekend, and with prices of around $577 round trip from New York to Bangkok, you can't really beat 10% off that. They also advertise $2000 round trip business class tickets, and with a 21-26 hour flight, it might be worth it if you can swing it. (At the same time though, skipping business class and dealing with 24-ish hours of discomfort and sadness basically means you just got paid $1500 to not be fancy, which is a pretty good amount of money to earn just from not being fancy.)
