[quote=ROGERINCA,36594]Hi again,

Yes, China Eastern is the only airline flying out of LAX, which has a non-stop to Shanghai.  Just like China Southern is the only airline which flies non-stop to Guangzhou.  There are some real good rates available on this route.  It is 14 hours over and a little less than 12 hours on the return, due to the significant tail wind effect. It is very similar to the flight to GZ, which I have taken several times now.

The Chinese pilots flying these routes, are very experienced, professional, and safe.  The flight leaves LAX, utilizing a circle route; flying up along the coast of Calif, Oregon, Wash, B.C. CA, out across Alaska and its Island chain, along the coast of Russia, and then into China and Shanghai.
They will serve you two full meals and a mid-flight snack. You will enjoy the flight !!

Yes, I too prefer non-stop flights to China.  I just want to get there, and not have to deplane and wait in another terminal for a few hours, hope the connecting flight is on time, and then re-board etc.  The one good thing is both China Eastern flights, to and from, are at decent hours mid-day.  The China Southern flight I usually take to GZ, leaves LAX at close to midnight.

I grew up in Southern California (L.A. area) and I have used a Chinese/American travel agency in the Monterey Park/Alhambra area, for some time now.  They have very competitive rates, as do some of the companies who advertise on this site.  I would definitely use a travel agency.  They will quote you a price that includes the airport taxes and security fees.  Many online venues such as  Orbitz, will quote a low-ball price, but it is not inclusive of all the special fees, and when you try to buy it, they will most likely tell you it is not available and try to sell you a more expensive ticket.  I hope this helps !!  Have a great trip.  If you need any more specific info, you can PM me.
