Been trying to find flights to China for under $500, so set my scripts running with a directive, and wow, they struggled! Anyway, after much effort, I've managed to prove there are SOME flights next year to China on China Southern, for less than a return flight from Christchurch to Tauranga, listen up Air New Zealand!.
Anyway, seems like the cheapest range is between Feb and May. There are tickets similarly priced, I just capped it at $500 for my goal.
Summary:
Auckland to Beijing return (2 Feb 26 - 9 May 26) from $430
Auckland to Shanghai return (4 Feb 26 - 23 Feb 26) from $494
