When to fly
December through January tends to be the expensive stretch before travel settles down. Prices drop gradually as spring arrives and continue falling into autumn. November stands out as the cheapest month to book a seat, though October and December also show lower fares compared to the holiday peak. Midweek departures generally cost less than weekend flights, and school holidays in either country can push prices up regardless of season.
Airlines and what to expect
Full-service carriers like Air China, China Southern Airlines and Cathay Pacific include checked baggage and meals in most tickets, while extras appear on some economy fares with other operators. FlyArystan and Air Astana offer budget options where seat selection or additional luggage may cost more at checkout.
