China Flight and Ticket
Booking Information
- How to buy Airline tickets?
- Most of us look online for our airline ticket no
matter where we go, but here is a piece of China Domestic
Flight Information you want to know.
- You can buy tickets online, but you want to make sure you
do it at a domestic Chinese website or trust someone to do
that. Most international websites offer very expensive
prices compared to the ones you can get locally. Also in
China, things a different when it comes to buying.
- Most people buy by one way tickets! It is also common to
see last minute deals.
- Don't expect to get a super deal because you are buying
early, some airlines cannot even tell you the price unless
it is within 3 weeks of the departure time!
- Information on Check-in to Arrival
- Allow ample time for check-in and boarding as the
wait could become very lengthy.
- Make sure you have your necessary documents in order to
board (i.e. Passport, ID, boarding pass unless you have
e-ticket)
- Go through security and make sure you have packed
according to the CAAC security protocols.
- When flying in China, or out of China, you are no longer
allowed to carry any lighters or matches as it is now a
dangerous material according to the CAAC
- Special Destination
- Some destinations may require more than a
passport to enter. Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and Tibet are
some examples.
- To go to Tibet, you will have to apply for the
Tibet Travel Permit in
order to enter.
- Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Macau, depending on your origin on
the passport, may also require travel visa prior to entering
the region.
- Domestic Flight Information
- Many of the destination within China can be
accessed within a 2 hour flight. Plus the price of an
airline ticket can be as cheap as $50 one way!!
We recommend a multi City visit when you are traveling in
China. Beijing,
Shanghai, and
Xi'an is what we
think is a must-stop
- All these cities are roughly two hours apart on a
flight
- They are the major Historical site of China
- There are so much to see!!
