Nanjing is China's most contemplative great city—a former capital of ten dynasties where tree-lined boulevards connect imperial palaces, memorial halls, and Confucian temples along the Yangtze River. The city's deep historical significance, from the Ming Dynasty to the Republic of China era, rewards thoughtful exploration. Business class ensures you arrive ready to absorb the weight of Nanjing's extraordinary history.

Business class flights to Nanjing start from $2,800 round-trip. Air China connects through Beijing with Star Alliance benefits and reliable service. China Eastern routes through Shanghai Pudong with modern widebody cabins. Hainan Airlines offers competitive pricing on select routes. BestBusinessClass.com offers fares to Nanjing from $2,800—typically 30-40% below published prices.
The 14-17 hour journey to Nanjing involves one connection through Beijing, Shanghai, or other major hubs. Shanghai is only 70 minutes by bullet train, providing additional routing flexibility. Business class lie-flat seats and lounge access at connecting airports ensure arrival ready for exploration.

Nanjing Lukou International Airport (NKG) is located 35km south of the city center. Metro Line S1 connects to Nanjing South Railway Station, where you can transfer to Lines 1 or 3 for central locations. The journey takes about 50 minutes. Taxis reach the Confucius Temple area in approximately 40 minutes. The airport also has direct high-speed rail connections.
The Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum on Purple Mountain is Nanjing's most significant monument—392 stone steps lead to the memorial hall. The Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, tomb of the dynasty's founder, features an ethereal Sacred Way lined with stone animals. The Presidential Palace chronicles the Republic of China era. The Confucius Temple district along the Qinhuai River combines history with vibrant nightlife.

Nanjing's Ming Dynasty city walls are the longest ancient city walls in the world at 35km. Walk the restored sections around Xuanwu Lake for spectacular views. The Nanjing Museum is one of China's three finest, housing 400,000 artifacts. The Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall is a solemn, essential visit for understanding modern Chinese history.

Nanjing's culinary tradition centers on duck—salted duck, roasted duck, and duck blood soup are local specialties quite different from Beijing's preparations. Tangbao (soup dumplings) at Qinhuai River restaurants rival Shanghai's best. Pan-fried beef dumplings and osmanthus-flavored pastries are beloved snacks. The Confucius Temple food street offers concentrated street food exploration.
Nanjing's profound historical sites demand the energy of a well-rested arrival. BestBusinessClass.com finds the optimal routing to this ancient capital—whether direct or via Shanghai with bullet train connections. We navigate the complexity so you can focus on the monuments.

Business Class
Before booking, always check the specific aircraft type for your route via ExpertFlyer or the Air China website's fleet notes — the difference between the A350 product and an older 777 or 747-8 configuration is substantial enough to change your entire experience. Long-haul flights to Europe and North America are more likely to feature newer aircraft than some regional or secondary routes. If connecting through Beijing, budget extra time, as PEK Terminal 3 transfers can be slow.

Business Class
Always check the specific aircraft type before booking — the A350-900 business class is a different world from the older 777-300ER or A330 product, and China Eastern doesn't always make this obvious at the point of sale. For the best experience, prioritize routes out of Shanghai Pudong (PVG) to North America or Australia, where the A350 is more consistently deployed.

Business Class
Seat hardware differs meaningfully by aircraft — always check the specific equipment on your booking, as older 777-300ERs and A330s may still have angled-flat rather than fully flat seats. The 787-9 and A350 routes (including US gateways like Los Angeles, Chicago, and Boston to Beijing/Shanghai) tend to offer the newest cabins. Because Hainan sits outside all three global alliances, redeeming miles requires either its own Fortune Wings Club program or specific airline partners — don't assume your Star Alliance or SkyTeam status will unlock lounge access or upgrades.
