Airlines in China

There are quite a few airline companies in China, the ones we often use are: Air China (CA), China Eastern Airlines (MU), China Southern Airlines (CZ), Dragon air (KA), and Hainan Airlines (HU), who use the following airplanes: A300 / A310/ A319/ A320 /A321/ A340 & B737 / B747/ B757 /B767/ B777 / MD90/ MD82 /MD11 & BAE146, etc.

Airlines in China now sell e-tickets and all you need for check-in at the airport is to present your valid passport. When it is allowed, our local tour guide will go to the airline check-in counter and assist you until you get your boarding pass.

Luggage Regulations for domestic flights in China

For the check-in luggage, passengers holding an adult fare or half fare ticket are entitled to a free baggage allowance of 40kg (88 pounds) for first class, and 30kg (66pounds) for business class, while20kg (44 pounds) for economy class. No free baggage allowance is granted to infants. If your luggage is over the limitation, you will need to pay for the excess weight, and some of the airports in China are quite strict with this.

Tip for this: If you are traveling together in group more than 1 people, you can use your allowance together, for example, if you have 35kg, your friend have only 5kg, it will be fine as long as you two check in together. This method also applies to 3, 4, 5 or even more people within one group, as long as you are checking in at the same time over the airport counter.

For the carry-on luggage, total weight of carry-on baggage for each passenger may not exceed 5kg (11 pounds). First class passengers may carry up to 2 pieces. All other passengers may carry on only one piece. The size may not exceed 20x40x55cm. Carry- on baggage in excess of the limit is subject to an excess baggage fee and must be carried as checked baggage.

3) Train - Exploring China by rail must be a special experience. It's certainly the best way to see the countryside, a great opportunity to gain an insight into the life in China.

Here are some special notes for the train travel in China.

• At China Odyssey Tours, we reserve you soft seats for short-distance travel and soft sleepers for overnight train travel. Most long-distance trains have soft sleeper cars, with comfortable 4-berth compartments (2 top berths and 2 lower berths) with full bedding provided. If you don't pay for the entire compartments (4 beds), you will have to share the compartment with strangers. Each soft sleeper car has a public washroom, but no shower facility. You can lock the door before going to sleep. Besides, passengers are offered a thermos bottle with hot water. It's also advisable to bring along your personal items, such as your own soap, a face towel and a roll of toilet paper.
• Train tickets are usually available 10 days before its scheduled departure. During the Spring Festival and Golden Week Holidays, booking a train ticket is extremely difficult. China Odyssey Tours strongly recommends avoiding traveling China by train during these peak periods.
• On board the train, please keep your ticket properly, as you will be asked to present it when you exit your station of destination . If you take the soft sleepers for train travel, the conductor will change your ticket to a magcard so that they can remind you of your arrival.Please also keep the magcard properly, as you need to change it back to ticket and the station workers will check your ticket when you exit the station.
• There is a dining car next to the soft sleeper car in most trains, while most food is Chinese style. As for food, bring your own or buy the boxed meals carried by a food trolley during mealtime - USD2-3 /meal, not bad but nothing special.
• Trains in China might not be as comfortable as those in developed countries and long-distance travel may make you feel tired.
