The easiest: To call travel agents a coupple of times, normally Chinese travel agents offer the cheapest airfares.
The tedious:Search several popular websites and do a comparison, then pull the trigger when you feel the fare is right for you.
If you can book tickts on US carrier, you will be able to earn full miles. You earn a free trip after about four round trip between US and China.
If you fly Chinese carriers such as AirChina or China Eastern, and your need a connection between those hub cities like Bejing, Shanghai before reach your final destination in China, your onward connection from those hub city to your may be free. So, make sure to ask travel agents. However, this could not be done online.
Reference:from west coast LAX-PVG at $770 (somebody just booked) SFO-PVG, PEK will be a little higher(since I am also looing for the booking)
