How much does a flight to China cost?

I recommend a flight with Emirates. This is what I have about last year. EUR 850 paid, but this was not the cheapest rate, but the next expensive one that was rebookable. (I did so because at the time I booked the flight – in mid-January – it was not certain whether the trip could take place as planned, as North Korea still had not opened its borders again. Apart from that, it could have been that the Pyongyang plane cannot fly back to Beijing because of technical difficulties. Take a look. Usually you just take another flight. Only stupid if only one flight per day goes out, as from Pyongyang.)

I flew in October. So really time to book several months in advance. If I had waited for another day, I wouldn’t have got the flight at this price!

Show flight for a direct flight approx. 11 hours, for my version approx. 5 hours to Dubai and then about 8 hours to China, that is longer, but more pleasant due to flight interruption. Apart from that, Dubai is a beautiful city.

You can stay at a cheap hotel once on your flight (e.g. IBIS, about EUR 50,-) and continue on the next day at 11:00 h instead of at 6:00 h in the morning how you would do it without overnight. And on the return flight you can spend a few days in Dubai. The city is not expensive. The subway is subsidized and from the prices somewhat cheaper than with us, taxiing is significantly cheaper, food: normal prices.
