Alot of dates and availability over the Christmas and New Year's period.

Beijing in the middle of winter? You'd have to be very homesick.
Or really love the dumplings.
And they are good dumplings.
Use expedia - airline is air china. Try different combos to as the return flight price adjusts according to the outbound flight you select.
Great price!
You can also do $420ish to Beijing over NYE with Capital Airlines (lists as Deer Jet or something for some reason). Capital are a VA partner and earn Velocity points/credits.
