What's the best deal out there for a round trip ticket to China? Is it cheaper to book at Sears Travel and use 20% off gift cards? I'm aware this is high season and the prices are way higher than not so hot seasons.

Friend is looking to stay for 3 weeks (christmas week, and the weeks before and after christmas).

He checked on this site : www.cntravel.biz
The only flights with acceptable delays (less than 4 hours delay at any stop) were around $1400 CND which is slightly less than Air Canada's web price of $1600 CND (both tax incl.)

I tried 26DEC to 14JAN on toureast.ca and got fares of ~$1320 tax incl on UA, CO, NW (all via the US). Fares are about $200 more if you want to depart before Christmas. The avg sears fare is $1300 + tax.
