Australia to Europe from $684 return

Not sure I'd call Chinese airlines "decent". Excepting CX of course.

Can’t vouch for their Y products but I have had some decent J long haul flights on Chinese carriers.

Nice fare… but whY?
Maybe 25 years ago I might have.

You know you want to

You know you want to

I know I don't want to. In the past I've done quite a few trips between AU and EU in Y (but with a couple of stops on the way) and I likely won't be doing it again. But. of course you're quite welcome to do it.

Well, I say that, but if I was travelling with my partner, and it was A330's all the way, I might consider it. But as a solo traveller, No.

Although Y is a bit c..p all the way to EU, the prices being offered make booking 2seats together tempting to give more room at about the same price as one.

But can you do that with the airlines involved and expect a guaranteed empty seat even if the flight is full/oversild?

Cheap flights yes, CEA reviews show they just do the basics at best. One should also remember the CCP is the major shareholder in CEA.

What relevance is there? I dont like the CCP as many people don’t but lots airlines partially or fully owned or heavily supported by governments.
