ExploreTrip (http://www.exploretrip.com) has some really low priced fares to China on a mix Air Canada and Air China flights.

With extremely low priced fares such as this, we recommend:

• Wait until you receive the eticket number
• Then wait some more (a week or two)
• Before paying for any prepaid travel arrangements (like positioning flights, hotels etc)

Here’s how ExploreTrip handled a low price fare from the US to Europe last time, in case you want are thinking about this. For those thinking about positioning for these flights – we don’t particularly recommend it. China goes on sale frequently in the 500s and 600s from a lot of cities.
