Travel.com.au are advertising cheap flights to China from Australia. Fly to Beijing/Shanghai plus 6 more cities in China with Japan Airlines from an amazing $899 + tax fr. $471. This HOT deal expires 30 Dec’07 so better be quick!

The airfare is great but don’t you hate it with you get hit for $471 in taxes. This can make what appears to be a cheap flight to Beijing a not so cheap flight. Departures for the above flight to Beijing are from 25/1/2008-31/3/2008.

Other destinations include Dalian, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Qingdao, Xiamen and
Xian. I highly recommend a visit to Qingdao and Xi’an having been there in the past. Qingdao is a nice coastal city with a European influence. Xi’an of course is home of the terracotta warriors. This is a must see if you make it to this ancient city. Home of the First Emperor.

Don’t forget the Olympics will be held in Beijing in August 2008. Prices are sure to skyrocket closer to this time. It is advisable to travel early in the new year if you have no interest in attending the Olympics.
