A two deal to China kind of day. Chengdu is known for being home of Sichuan cuisine and Pandas! It is also a great base to visit Tibet (but just be forewarn, if you plan on going to Tibet, make sure you can secure a visa for it. There are numerous reports that China is locking down on Tibet visas again)

Sample Date:

• November 7th – 14th. Valid for travel from October 28th – December 10th for Monday through Thursday departures. Use ITA Software Matrix Airfare Search and flexible month search to see availability — enable advance routing codes and enter “nh+” on both inbound and outbound advance routing codes field to search only All Nippon Airways availability. Must purchase by October 10th

Routing:

• JFK – NRT (Tokyo) – CTU (Chengdu) – NRT – JFK. Includes a 20 hour overnight layover in Tokyo on the outbound.

Mileage:

• 17,700 miles or 4.5 cents per mile. All Nippon Airways (ANA) is a member of the Star Alliance and a partner with United’s MileagePlus program — this fare will earn 100% with United for the transpacific segments and 50% for the Japan to China segments. So you will earn 15,619 miles or 5.1 cents per mile. Despite that, we recommend you credit with United because it is still more miles than crediting with ANA. Provide the checkin staff with your United number to receive credit.

Booking:

• Use dates found on ITA Software Matrix Search and book on FLY-ANA.COM
