China Southern to Shanghai/Beijing from $581 Return, in Business from $2540 return (flights from Melbourne and Sydney)
---#### The deal
Great prices to China on a perennial favourite - China Southern hubs out of Guangzhou to many other cities, and as a very well regarded airline has some fantastic prices in economy and business class. I’ve focused on Beijing and Shanghai, but you can also look at Xi’an, Nanjing, Shenzhen, Fuzhou and many more.
