How to get the best deal on a Lhasa — Shangri-La ticket

  • Purchase tickets 4–5 weeks before departure, as there are only about two flights per week on this route, and the cheapest seats disappear quickly.
  • Use the low price calendar to compare neighboring dates: sometimes shifting your trip by a couple of days allows you to find tickets starting AED 632 instead of peak rates.
  • Check baggage allowances with MU in advance, as excess baggage fees at the airport on regional flights within China can be significantly higher than the cost of booking online.
  • Monitor the price trend chart on this page to determine the most profitable month for travel and avoid seasonal overpayments.
