Since its founding in 1986, China United Airlines has grown into a distinctive brand in the Mainland China market with the backing of 东航集团.
From its Beijing Daxing base it flies point-to-point on high-traffic domestic trunks and nearby leisure routes, driven by promo pricing. Departing from Beijing Daxing gets you the best frequencies, timings and irregular-ops backup; from non-base cities expect more one-stops, so watch total journey time when booking.
Booking tips: always compare the total — base fare plus bags plus seats. Baggage is cheapest bought online in advance and several times dearer at the airport; promo fares carry strict change limits, so avoid flash deals when dates are soft. Check in online where possible — some LCCs charge for counter check-in.
