dan where are you going this summer? venice? china please tell us thanks
Already been to Israel, Amsterdam, Miami, and Toronto 🙂
in general how come all the flights on sale you post are always cheaper only when you book for 7 days or more? like to london if i go sunday come back thursday its 700 but from sunday till sunday or monday its 350 why do airlines charge more for staying less days/
Because they can 😀
Business travelers take short trips and are willing to pay more, so that’s a good way to segment them away from leisure passengers.
Hey @Dan. Is this a really good price for Beijing (in cash) or have you seen anything better in the past?
Excellent price!
Thanks Dan! I’m heading to Beijing for 4 days!!!
I was just there two days ago, prepare to see a lot of pollution: https://www.instagram.com/p/B0SPWXpBue1/
If you want get to the Great Wall (which is less polluted than the city) by public transport is not hard just Google it there are lots of online guides with pictures, I was also there again two month ago. It is way cheaper that if you take a taxi or a tour company. I did it for less than 20 USD from the hotel (near the airport) to the wall and back: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxug6_ehp6D/
what is the cheapest place to stay?
kosher food?
The last times I used points. Here is a good guide for kosher food: https://www.chabadbeijing.com/templates/articlecco_cdo/aid/70374/jewish/Kosher-in-Beijing.htm
