China has had some good prices for awhile, but notice carefully there are NO miles and no upgrades. I got a Houston/BKK via SFA back through LAX rnd trip 1104usd, but N class (60%miles, no seat selection). I couldn't find the class listed anywhere until after I booked. Got notification in Chinese, but "class N" was in english. I did get to pick my seats though because I have Gold Card.

 

It sounds like some of those 747's maybe the old style? Only one movie screen, like the one from swampi to TPE. Now that would be a 12hr drag. Or, maybe with the new class seats, that for these prices you certainly wouldn't be sitting in.

I just booked my next trip this afternoon. Leave LA on April 28 and return on May 13. Total price was just $651, no that is not a typo. The best rates from LA seem to be the last two weeks of April with mid week departures. If you check the box for flexible dates then you can see the different rates. If I were to leave on May 1st it would have been almost $200 more, but still cheaper than any other rates I have seen.
