A3 is cheapest at 60k with YQ
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

PEK-NYC direct
I see 2 Air China flights and 1 UA. The timing on UA works best. Right now only available in Y for 35k UA. Is there a cheaper way? SQ? AC?....
Just in case that doesn't work out, what's the cheapest way with Air China?
TIA
