Best Time to Book Flights to China

Insider tips to get the cheapest fares

Book 2-3 Months Ahead

The sweet spot for the cheapest fares to China is typically 8-12 weeks before departure.

Avoid Chinese Holidays

Prices spike around Chinese New Year (Jan/Feb), Golden Week (Oct 1-7), and Labor Day (May 1-5). Book outside these periods for the best deals.

Consider Nearby Airports

Flying into secondary cities like Chengdu, Xiamen, or Kunming can be cheaper than Beijing or Shanghai, with easy domestic connections.

Fly Midweek

Tuesday through Thursday flights are typically 15-30% cheaper than weekend departures.
