I fly back to beijing every half years since I have been in germany. And there are so many chinese companies which sell really cheap tickets with good service and tickets for airplanes from all over the world, not only for CA (Air China). And I'd like to give u one of them, where I bought most of my tickets(also e-ticket,you can get it via email and buy it online):
XILI Company +49-30-31007921(2)
They can also speak english and german. Cause they are in germany.
The flight from Frankfurt to Beijing is about 9 hours.
Tip: try to book 1A when u check-in at airport. It is very important for a long journey(near the window and have more places before u)!

Both Singapore Airlines and Air China fly direct to Beijing from Singapore.
It's a 5 hours+ flight.
Cheaper flights can be sought from other Airlines, such as Malaysian Airlines (transit Kuala Lumpur), Thai Airways (transit Bangkok) and Cathay Pacific (transit Hong Kong).
No budget airlines has yet begun service for this route.

The ongoing changes at Beijing Airport continue. The latest little unannounced change is that China Eastern no longer shares domestic check-in counters with Air China in rows F and G.
China Eastern (MU) now uses a brand new row of check-in desks along the front wall of the terminal,. You don't "go through the gap" but check-in opposite the gap. (Regular users will know what I mean, but a number of people have queued at the usual F and G counters only to be redirected to the new counters back out on the main concourse.

In most countries, you *can* check in with an e-ticket at any desk, although there are usually also special kiosks or check-in desks as well.
In China, you *must* use special e-ticket check-in desks. Don't bother queueing up at normal check-in counters...they will make you go to the special counter.
At Beijing airport, for Air China domestic flights, use counters G01 to G03 if you have an e-ticket.

As the new airport metro line is now starting to be constructed, the extension of the Airport Expressway down to Dongzhimen is being dug up and there is a lot of construction traffic day and night. This is adding to the journey if you are heading out to the airport from within the Second Ring Road area .

I flew to Beijing from Shanghai with Air China. The airline operated a Boeing 747 which was not the newest. The in-flight service was almost as if designed by Mao himself – hence not the most spectacular airline I have ever flown with. Maybe things will change as China opens more and more to tourism.
However Air China have the largest network of flights within the PR China.

I'm the kind who likes to try foreign carriers: the vacation starts that much earlier.
But from any of the nearby airports (MDT - EWR - IAD), United was invariably faster and cheaper to Beijing. So I booked with them, unenthusiastically.
Well, those flights were T-E-R-R-I-F-I-C! On time, and with excellent and attentive service.
Good luck United!
