I'm wondering how Jetstar to compete against Chinese airlines.
Low price? Air China offers $850 including tax return for Sydney/Melbourne to Beijing, and China Southern's quote is $800 via Guangzhou.

I agree Danfeng, might have an advantage if it is direct though. Qantas tried it but didn't last long (anybody know when the QF135 stopped?)

Danfeng, both CA and CZ fares are seasonal fare targeting tough period which often seen during this time of the year.

Peter, QF191/QF192 (SYD/PEK/SYD) services were suspended in Apr 09. I think QF135/QF136 were the flight numbers used for SYD/SHA/PEK/SHA/SYD back in late 90's.

Agreed.
But we always can get around $900 return tickets for CA, CZ & MU except for Christmas and Easter from travel agents.

That is quite a stopover but luckily SIN has plenty of action for spotters

QF135/136 were the flight nos used for SYD-TPE-SYD - which ceased many years ago.

Thanks Scott and Michael. I knew they did try it before. As already mentioned though the Chinese travellers are very loyal to their airlines but of course there isn't that much competition (between the two cities). All QF do is a daily Shanghai service from Sydney AFIK.
