About This Route

192 business award seats seen here in the last 7 days (last verified 3hr ago). Nonstop flights between the US and China are still limited, and almost none of their premium award space is visible to partner programmes on any sensible routing. What does produce is one-stop travel: Qatar Airways through Doha, which has shown business seats on most dates we have sampled, and Cathay Pacific through Hong Kong from the West Coast, which opens up less often. Expect long journeys (via Doha is well over 30 hours from New York), but these are real, bookable business seats.

Aircraft

Boeing 777-300ER (Qatar, Doha–Shanghai) / Airbus A350 (Cathay Pacific, Hong Kong–Shanghai)

Typical Cost

Varies widely by programme and routing; confirm the exact price with the programme before transferring points

Book With

  • British Airways Avios / Qatar Privilege Club (Qatar)
  • American AAdvantage (Cathay Pacific)

Transfer From

  • Amex/Chase/CapOne/Bilt → British Airways Avios
  • Citi → AAdvantage

💡 Insider Tip

Check the whole routing and the connection time before transferring points: the Doha connection is often eight hours or more. If you see United offering Shanghai through two US hubs first, treat it as a detour rather than a real option.
