A good sale to Myanmar. It is $636 from Chicago and $686 from New York (both JFK and EWR). On some dates, the mainland Chinese Airlines like China Eastern will have this for slightly cheaper. We would pay a little extra to fly Cathay and have an easier transit in Hong Kong.

Some of us are in Myanmar at the moment, depending on  how good the data connection is, we will put some pictures up on Instagram.
