Beijing from £430 return sounds too good to be true — but China Southern and Hainan Airlines are genuinely running these fares through autumn. Long-haul pricing that won't empty your wallet.
The deal
Return flights to Beijing from £430 per person with China Southern Airlines or Hainan Airlines. Available September through November 2024. Both carriers offer five-star service on their long-haul routes.
Why we like it
For a long-haul flight to China's capital, £430 return is genuinely competitive — you're not paying the usual premium for distance. Both airlines have solid reputations for cabin comfort and service, so you're not sacrificing experience for the fare.
The window runs three months, giving you decent flexibility to find dates that work. Beijing itself is excellent value once you land: food, transport and most attractions cost a fraction of Western equivalents.
One catch: check the departure airport carefully. These fares may be from specific UK hubs, and connecting flights could add to the journey time. Also verify baggage allowance — some budget-conscious fares skimp here.
How to book
Head to China Southern or Hainan Airlines' websites directly to search your preferred dates within the September–November window. Filter by price to confirm you're seeing the £430 level, and read the baggage policy before committing. Book soon — fares at this level typically move fast.
