Air China delivering the goods to Europe! While Scoot has GREAT prices later in the year to Athens, Greece, they're a low cost carrier. Air China includes 2x23kg checked luggage and all the usual food, entertainment.

Flights listed are out of Syd/Mel, but others exist too, I just had time for these. If you need to get to one of them, consider Rex's good prices during the same period)

    Any chance of them coming to Perth this year? Or China Southern returning?

    • UncommonName on 05/01/2024 - 23:14

      Is China Southern the best Chinese airline?

      • jeppetto367 on 05/01/2024 - 23:43
        +3

        China Southern are the largest Chinese Airline, wouldn't call them the best (though they're alright). I've personally flown China Southern, China Eastern, Sichuan Airlines, and Hainan Airlines to China (and also domestically within China). I'd take Hainan out of the 4 every time time, I'd say they're the best. IMO best food, drinks, and biggest (English) movie selection. I find they all have avergage lounges, my favourite being China Eastern at PVG, though it's only good by Chinese standards, bad by Western standards. Yet to fly Air China.

      • Ricktheroller on 06/01/2024 - 10:19

        I flew China Eastern once from Sydney to Shanghai, my heart sank when I saw the plane at the airport, didn't look like it'd make the distance. Have to say I'm surprised it met whatever standards we may have, in flight entertainment was a deck of cards. It did beat the internal China flights though, not sure what airline it was but the planes had those tubes for the in seat audio instead of those dual 3.5mm jacks.

        • belongsinforums on 06/01/2024 - 13:06

          You just reminded me of the awful in flight live ads the flight attendants have to do on domestic Chinese flights selling merch

    • InPerth on 06/01/2024 - 14:43

      No I don't think so. I believe it is a profitability issue.

  • lzaonne on 05/01/2024 - 21:19

    Great price with luggages. Can be better if latet dates are available.

  • Charles89 on 05/01/2024 - 21:26

    Is FlightNetwork or Gotogate trustworthy?

    • nigel deborah on 05/01/2024 - 21:37
      +3

      Not sure about flight network but gotogate is god awful. Strongly recommend you avoid.

      Almost always best to book direct unless it's a very significant saving. You'll be bombarded with fees for doing anything at all via an agent, and have to contact the airline via the agent should you have cancellations or any other last minute issues.

      • BarryBargain88 on 05/01/2024 - 22:17
        +1

        I have never found this to be the case. I always just find the airline booking reference buried in the documents. Add the ticket to the phone app and do any changes direct with the airline.

    • christopher8827 on 05/01/2024 - 23:03

      I have used Flight Network and they suck (they don't have an office in Australia either). Customer support is non-existent and I never got refunded on my cancelled flight.

    • babipanggang on 05/01/2024 - 23:18

      I used Gotogate for my Dec 2022 trip to Europe, and I found that they worked perfectly fine. Granted that I did not have to do anything that requires the help of an agent, e.g. Cancellations/Delays, so my answer might be different if I had to reschedule or anything like that.

      • CheapBrah on 06/01/2024 - 10:38

        If nothing goes wrong then its fine, you bought a ticket and you have a ticket. But its not uncommon for something to go wrong, and thats when you'll wish you paid a little more to book direct.

    70 hours on the plane?

    • ddhar on 05/01/2024 - 21:51
      +3

      Includes layover times.

      But those hours look pretty brutal nonetheless.

      • babipanggang on 05/01/2024 - 23:22
        +3

        I took a similar flight back in 2018 with 14 hours layover in Beijing en route to Munich (SYD - PEK with Air China, and PEK - MUC with Lufthansa). I actually kinda enjoyed it, as I managed to hire a private driver to go see the Great Wall and got back to the airport just in time for shower and the second leg of the flight.
        In terms of the transit visa, I applied for the 144 hour visa-free transit at the Beijing Airport.

        • ddhar on 06/01/2024 - 15:14

          Some of those flights involve layovers in two cities, e.g. 9 hours in Shanghai and then 3 hours in wuhan. Unless chasing status credits with the airline, never subject oneself to this needless agony.

    • Pcoder on 06/01/2024 - 11:42

      Pretty good, only one fatal incident in 2002 (Although airline was CAAC before 1988). Remember they have nearly 500 planes in their fleet (compare to over 300 for Qantas Group), so to operate for we'll over 20 years without any fatal incidents is a usually good sign.

      China for the most part is just as safe to travel in as most other parts of the world, as they do tend to have relatively young fleets and the authorities absolutely do not want incidents, so have invested a lot of time and resources to prevent incidents (saving face is all important).

      • George Washington on 06/01/2024 - 11:43

        Thank you for that, I have flown with Cebu airlines before will never do it again.

          At least drinks are included, so even if you don't like the meals, your not at least paying extra to keep hydrated.

    Brisbane needs to seriously improve, specially after Scoot left.

    • Wampus on 06/01/2024 - 16:36

      Virgin Australia is headquartered in Brisbane and I don't think it's a coincidence that a lot of the international airlines that have got their act together post-Covid aren't allowed to service BNE airport

  • CheapBrah on 05/01/2024 - 22:10

    Tempted to downvote these Air China deals since their website doesn't seem to function to book directly and if booking through dodgy OTAs is the only option then that's worthy of a downvote for obvious reasons.

  • TEER3X on 05/01/2024 - 22:12

    Unless you can stopover in China, these would be absolutely horrible.

    Who wants to be travelling for that long? I'd rather pay more if it means more direct flights.

  • Vink on 05/01/2024 - 23:05

    Transit or layovers at china can be painful. They make u go through the immigration even if its an hour transit. For transit in majority of the countries you dont have to go through immigration but for china it’s different. They get your finger prints face id basically everything. My piece of advice out of personal experience if your layover is less than 3 hours never go through any Chinese airlines. The officers can be painful and most highly you will miss the connecting flight. Again this is out of my personal experience.

    • UncommonName on 05/01/2024 - 23:16
      +2

      Seems a fair assessment based on my recent experience.

    • Pcoder on 05/01/2024 - 23:22

      I did 2 x 72 hour transit in 2019 and it wasn't too bad (and it was 2 separate bookings). Most of these flights look like more than 3 hour layovers, so transfer shouldn't be too much of an issue and the airport at PEK wasn't too bad, had most of the standard amenities (toilets, seats, restaurants, etc).

      These flights are a good budget option as unlike budget airlines like scoot, you get baggage, drinks, meals, in seat power and some entertainment included. Yes some of these things might not be as nearly good as Singapore airlines, but it's still a step up from Scoot.

    • Stevm on 05/01/2024 - 23:28

      Probably depends on the airport - recently did the China Southern deal to Europe via Guangzhou and it was painless both directions, took about 15min max to get through the transfer desk / security since there was basically no line. We did not have to exit into China (i.e. no fingerprints or any of that stuff).

      • jeppetto367 on 05/01/2024 - 23:48

        I had the same experience going to Osaka on China Eastern with a transfer at PVG pre-COVID. Super quick, didn't have to enter into China, probably took less than 30 mins all up.

    • Its4me on 06/01/2024 - 03:10
      +3

      I had the same for a transit in the US - forced to go through immigration, although this was a while ago - not sure if this still applies.

      • ol mate on 06/01/2024 - 08:32

        Still happens in the US.

        Painful for people travelling to Canada, as LAX always has long queues and direct flights to Canada aren’t as competitive/cheap (daily AC from SYD/BNE, QF 3x weekly from SYD, or via Nadi/Manilla)

        • Scrooge McDuck on 07/01/2024 - 12:43

          Air Canada and WestJet are competing with $188 flights from Honolulu to Vancouver. You can score a cheap flight to Honolulu with Jetstar, if you can tolerate them.

          • ol mate on 07/01/2024 - 15:58

            @Scrooge McDuck: Would be a risky booking (unprotected connection) with Jetstar's usual on-time performance.

            A hotel in Honolulu (to reduce risk of delayed inbound flight) would eat away any savings quickly as well.

            • Scrooge McDuck on 08/01/2024 - 12:51

              @ol mate: I just gave myself a 10 hour layover and spent the day touring around Oahu on the bus. Although I took an 18 hour layover on my first trip and that wasn't enough.

    • mousie on 06/01/2024 - 08:51

      Yeah people aren't putting a value on their time with these Chinese airlines.

      Just booked for 4 via etihad last night to Paris and return via Rome $1440 direct with the airline.

      • Meridianz on 06/01/2024 - 09:37

        I tend to agree waiting 20 hours for a few hundred is probably not worth it especially Etihad is a superior airline. Saying that, looking at some of these options in some cases the difference is say $500 or more than the best alternative and in my case I would be in a group of 5 - so now we are talking $2500+ for 20 hours. That's a different calculation.

  • jrvb42 on 06/01/2024 - 10:18

    I'd argue the point on scoot being cheap anymore.
    I have found full service airfares to Europe and UK for around the same price as scoot want to charge.
    Example, recently booked syd-fco for $1100.
    Their flights BACK from Athens are quite expensive.
    When even a tighta*se like myself can pay only a little extra for full service, they can no longer be considered low cost. Just low frills.

  • jtc13 on 06/01/2024 - 10:32

    I flew China Eastern to Madrid about 7 years back and they were fantastic. Brand new planes. Great in flight entertainment and food. Was in economy and felt it was way better than the last time i went on qantas for overseas travel so i am surprised some saying they only got a deck of cards and were worried about the condition of the aircraft. Wondering how far back they flew with them or if it was a domestic flight within China which i have heard they use all the old planes on??

    • InPerth on 06/01/2024 - 15:05

      yes condition of aircraft is now a real issue, mainly because many planes were not used during the three year covid lock down and after the lock down finish economy is dying until now. Many skilled people flee from the country and the ones cannot left normally are poor in english and lack of connection to global update because of the great firewall, I believe it is same case for flight maintenance industry. Flight companies are poorer in finance than ex-Covid time and try to control costs.

    Providing the frequency of such failures, I assume it is a systematically problem in preventative maintenance and risk management, in the bigger background of skilled people flee from the country and bad economy, apparently both skills and resources are more limited than the good time.
