FAQs




Question: What is the latest time I should arrive at the airport?
Answer: 90 minutes is our suggestion, because check-in usually stops 45 minutes before the flight departs.


Question: How much luggage can I take on the plane in China?
Answer: According to the rules of General Administration of Civil Aviation, on domestic flight in China passengers holding an economy class ticket are allowed to bring 20 kg (about 44 lbs) of luggage (both checked and carry-on luggage) free of charge. For more details, please read this page:
/essential/pre_planning/baggage.htm


Question: Can you reserve a window seat on the flight if I’d like one?
Answer: This assignment cannot be booked in advance. It can only be done when you receive your boarding pass at the airport.


Question: How can I know which gate is the right one for my plane?
Answer: The gate number is printed on your boarding pass. After going through security, you will see signs with directions to all the gates. Sometimes, the gates might be changed due to unforeseen elements, so please pay attention to the announcements while in the airport lounge.


Question: Are trains air-conditioned in China?
Answer: Generally speaking, soft seat, berth carriages and express trains named with T, K and Z are air-conditioned. The facilities on our trains may differ greatly from those in other countries. We have more details at the following page:
/essential/practical_tips/transportation/railway.htm


Question: Where can I purchase train tickets in China?
Answer: Train tickets can be purchased at railway stations, travel agencies and some banks. It might be very difficult to purchase tickets by yourselves waiting in queue. The safest and most efficient way is through travel agencies by paying an extra service charge.


Question: Can I have a private compartment for two on the train?
Answer: Most of the soft sleeper compartments have 4 beds and only a few trains from Beijing have compartments for two. You may wish to purchase four tickets for two people to guarantee a private compartment.


Question: Is it convenient to take a taxi in China?
Answer: It is very easy to take a taxi except during the rush hours (7:00--9:00 in the morning and 17:00--19:30 in the afternoon). As drivers know very little English, it is best to have your destinations written down in Chinese before taking a taxi.


Question: How can I go to Tibet?
Answer: A railway to Lhasa is completed. At present, people can go to Tibet by train, plane or by bus.
Flights are available daily to Lhasa from Chengdu and Beijing and less frequently from some other cities. Please refer to the details of flight info and airfare:

The best road to Tibet is the Qing-Zang Road, from Qinghai province to Tibet. You need to go to Gulmud, where government-operated buses leave for Lhasa daily. The trip usually takes about 30 hours.

Whether you travel to Tibet by plane or by bus, you need to get a Tibet Travel Permit first in order to purchase your tickets.
