Mod: Please see this comment. These are not business class tickets despite what Zuji says. They are economy class. See China Eastern & Flyertalk
Approx September-November 2013 Period.
Hunting for cheap tickets to China, and found these flights. Some dates have already gone back to Economy Class, but most dates are still Business Class. - since there are only a certain no. of Business Class seats on each plane, they'll most likely sell out pretty quickly.
I added on a return domestic flight to another city which added around $30 bucks to the price. (ie. Beijing)
Dates are around the September to November period. Still plenty of tiks. Good Luck.
Reading their website, planes are updated to A332s in October flying from Melbourne.
This is the cheapest its probably been for Business Class Tickets - especially for a 10-11 hour flight. Direct flights from Melbourne are still available - which is good since we don't have to switch planes in Sydney.
You also get 2 x 32kg Check-in luggage (64kg in total).
Example Search would be
Melbourne- Shanghai (10th October)
Shanghai - Melbourne (27th October)
$769.66
You can pay with any credit card including AMEX without the surcharge or go to Flight Centre to price beat if you like.
Looks good :)
