When to fly
Start with the weeks either side of December, because December is the cheapest month in this route's listed price window. October, November, January, February and March are also in that window, but school breaks and Christmas can lift fares. Book farther ahead for December and for trips that touch major holidays, and compare midweek departures with weekend ones. If your trip includes a holiday, leave slack between flights.
Airlines and what to expect
Easyjet is the low-cost name among the four; Aer Lingus, British Airways and KLM Royal Dutch Airlines are full-service carriers. No airline flies nonstop from Belfast George Best City to Beijing, so every fare buys at least one connection. Full-service tickets usually include more in the base fare, while a low-cost ticket can add charges for bags, seats and changes. Add those extras before you compare prices.
Arriving — Beijing
Getting into Beijing from either airport takes planning, because both sit well outside the centre and the city has two of them. Check which airport your ticket names before you travel, since the transfer is different for each. Allow generous time for immigration, baggage and the onward journey into town. A late arrival makes that planning more important, and changing airports mid-trip is hard.
