I got my ticket, Santa Barbara to San Francisco to Beijing, for $558. Less a $50 rebate for joining and quitting Great Fun, an affiliate of Priceline. I got it just one week in advance, and flew on Thursday going into Easter break, so Chinese-Americans were flying in numbers. You can beat my price.
Once you get to the Air China waiting area in San Francisco, you won't see many white faces.
If you don't fall in love with at least one of the stewardesses (yes, they are still called that in Asia) by the time you reach cruising altitude, then you will probably be happier staying in San Francisco. If you know what I mean.
