Heading overseas for the first time. First going to Germany for a week and then going from Frankfurt to Beijing to teach english for a year. Anybody done this? Any advice on the cheapest way to get from Germany to China?

I have a strange feeling your not going to find many "discount" flights to China. Voyd might know something, I hope he sees this, if not then PM him.

The lowest I've found from using Mobissimo is $820 from Opodo.co.uk on Finnair connecting in Helsinki.

Go to Mobissimi.com or Opodo.co.uk

When you search though, search for a round trip ticket and then just choose a random date to "return" it's about $2000-$3000 cheaper.
