Traveling during these windows — outside of peak Chinese holiday periods and the summer surge — can put downward pressure on fares across all five operating carriers. Experienced travelers targeting the $2,700 to $3,500 range will almost always be booking within these months, ideally with flexible departure dates and at least 6 to 8 weeks of lead time.
