      I am sure their price will be the deciding factor, they currently sell BEG-FCO-Xian-Beijing for as little as €589

      Is such a long stopover time usual? It is still a better option compared to disembarking and re-embarking on another (connected) flight but somehow I thought the stopover can be done in less than one hour.

      They should try to get the stop-over time to 1-1.5 hours.

    1. My guess would be PRG in both ways. They go from PEK to PRG, layover until the next flight, go to BEG and back to PRG and wait for the next flight to PEK.

      They may have two options, depending on CAAC legality and rules:

      1 - PEK-PRG (layover) PRG-BEG-PRG (layover) PRG-PEK

      2 - PEK-PRG-BEG (layover) BEG-PRG-PEK

      Option 2 is more economical.

      Any news on fares from BEG to PRG? When are these flights starting?

      It says in the article - 15 september. PRG-BEG-PRG is around 250 euros.

      Sad and pathethic. Nobody here even mentioned ZAG or EK.

      I think he was referring to Purger's comment how EK's arrival was of greater importance than EY buying shares in JU

      That wasn't even mentioned here, and as for that guy, he just can't stand when the news isn't about ZAG, so he's just plain pitiful

      If that makes ZAG special then I guess Entebbe, a 90 000 people town in Uganda is also special as EK flies there too.
