According to relevant news reports, starting from May 2015, Air China will increase its non-stop flights from Los Angeles to Beijing to three per day, with the new flight number designated as CA888.
Since Air China increased its Los Angeles to Beijing service to twice daily in September 2011, it has been over three years before this latest expansion. Air China will utilize the Boeing 777 aircraft, providing passengers with more flight time options.
Although Air China is currently the only airline offering non-stop flights from Los Angeles to Beijing, the airline stated that it remains committed to competing with major international carriers on ticket pricing, meaning non-stop fares are not necessarily more expensive than connecting flights. Especially for the student demographic, Air China does not rule out the possibility of future promotional offers.
