Earlier today, we published unreal deals to China and parts of Asia for less than $1,500 round-trip in business class. Now we're also seeing cheap deals to China in economy starting at just $305 round-trip on several major airlines, including U.S. carriers.

The deals are from major U.S. cities like Boston (BOS), Los Angeles (LAX) and San Francisco (SFO), but we're also seeing deals from cities we don't see often, such as St. Louis (STL).

To search, head to Google Flights and enter your origin and destination cities. Scroll through the calendar function to find dates and prices that work for you. Finally, click through to book directly with the airline or an OTA like Orbitz or Expedia.
