Return flights to Beijing from £449
You can explore the historic Chinese capital of Beijing from just £449 return from Manchester – but you can also board Lufthansa flights to the world’s most populous capital city from London, Bristol and Birmingham as well.

Up to six scheduled flights to Beijing
Lufthansa has six weekly flights from the UK to Beijing, connecting via the hubs of Munich or Frankfurt, so you have a huge choice about when you travel. And Lufthansa is part of the Star Alliance, so if you include partner airlines like Swiss Air and Austrian Airlines, you have even more choice.

And of course, you get access to the airport Business Lounge as well as fine food served on china plates.
Fly to Shanghai for as little as £389 return
Fly to Shanghai for just a shade under £400 return and explore the world’s second-most populous city, with a population of a gobsmacking 24 million. Shanghai is where China’s past meets its space-age future – and nowhere gives a better impression of this than The Bund, a waterfront stretch of historical buildings just across the river from a forest of futuristic skyscrapers that could be straight out of a science-fiction movie. And you can get some fine views of this astonishing city by climbing The Pearl, a 468-metre-high TV tower made from 11 spheres. Lufthansa flights to Shanghai from numerous UK airports, including Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol and London.

Nice and simple.
