FAQs - Booking China flights

International flights to China are landing on almost 40+ airports in the country. Amongst them, the following few are the most preferred stops due to their extraordinary quality service provided to foreign expats and other travellers.

  • Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK) is the second busiest international airport in the world. Last year it handled about 100 million passengers and 1.8 million tons of cargo was brought in through this airport. Only a forty-minute car ride from the famous crimson coloured Forbidden City Museum, the Beijing Capital Airport is the primary gateway to mainland China. The Beijing Subway and rail connect the airport to the rest of the country.
  • Beijing Daxing International Airport (PKX) was opened for the public in September of 2019. The airport is the second largest international airport in the world and is set to take a lot of the traffic load from Beijing Capital Airport. The structure of the building is in the shape of a giant orange starfish, and it can process 120 million passengers annually. Passengers using British Airways will be landing on this airport.
  • Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG) is one of two airports in Shanghai. This airport, however, is used for international flights both in and out of the city. Shanghai International Airport is only thirty kilometres from the city centre. There are maglev trains and metro lines connecting the airport with the rest of the town.

British nationals require a visa to enter China but acquiring the permit is not necessary if you are visiting Hong Kong or Macao only. You can visit the Chinese Visa Application Service Centre website for further information and the visa process. There is a visa waiver program also available for UK citizens going to China, but the Foreign Office recommends that you apply for a permit here in the UK first. There have been complaints that the Chinese Immigration officers have refused entry for some British tourists due to their travel history. The Visa Centre can take twenty to thirty days to process your application, so please plan your travels accordingly.

The most reasonable time to visit China is in March and May and later in, September – October. It gives you plenty of chances to explore the natural or humanmade wonders in the country in pleasant weather. It is worthwhile to plan your trip during the off-peak hours if you want to save yourself from the avertable hassle and high prices. It allows you to luxuriate yourself with personal space as well.

It is highly recommended to avoid the holiday season in China when most of the country’s major highlights will be jam-packed with the local tourists. Amongst other vacations, Golden Week in the first week of October is the busiest. Even most of the hotels and restaurants have the basis to increase the prices due to rise in demand, whereas domestic flights are also challenging to avail at regular prices.

The cheapest time to visit China would be a few weeks before the start of the Christmas season. Christmas is not widely celebrated in China, except in the more globalized centres of the country like Hong Kong and Shanghai. December, therefore, does not come with the usual travel hassle in China as in the west. Travelling to China in the winter might be a bit intimidating for some, but the temperatures, at an average, remain above 1°C, even in the night.

There are parts of the country where you could find snow at those times of the year. It gives you all the more reason to celebrate Christmas in this exotic Asian country and enjoy a bowl of authentic chicken soup and other authentic Chinese cuisines.

China – a five-thousand-year-old civilization, now a country, is a land of many mysteries, delights and treasures. The landmarks of China are as grand as the glittering ultra-modern cities that surround them.

  • The Great Wall of China always tops the list. Tourists visiting China either visit this landmark first or on the very last day of the tour in China. Sections of the Great Wall near Beijing meander over hills and are flanked with trees. The first emperor of China connected separate parts of the wall in 220 BC, to protect his empire from northern invading armies and to control trade.
  • The Forbidden City was the magnificent palace of the Chinese emperor for nearly 500 years. Today this palace is a museum which contains the relics and artefacts that represent Chinese art and craftsmanship. The palace complex in Beijing has a thousand buildings all ornately designed, reflecting the majesty of the emperors of the time. There are shrines of different Asian religions inside the fortress, and the throne room still gleams with splendour.
  • The Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor is one of the wonders of ancient China. Emperor Qin (pronounced ‘chin’) was able to conquer all seven kingdoms of China and unite the country two thousand years ago. His final resting place was hidden and left undiscovered until 1974. An entire army of terracotta warriors protects the inner chamber of the tomb, which is still untouched. For two millennia the Chinese emperor rests surrounded by untold treasures and a poisonous river of mercury protecting his remains.

China’s aviation network is quite extensive and thus many airlines plunge into the aviation fleet to facilitate passengers with connecting flights within China. In addition to air travel, buses, trains and ferries are also widely used by locals and visitors for the commute. Buses are relatively cheap and efficient for the backpackers. Metro and subway in China also aid the visitors with the super-fast travelling and are functioning in all the major cities of China, including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hong Kong and many more.

You can find different kinds of lodgings from vacation resorts, spa hotels, auto courts, youth hostels, and hotels that cater to business travellers. Please consider booking the following hotels when you are travelling to China.

  • New World Beijing Hotel
  • Radisson Blu Hotel Shanghai New World
  • The Royal Garden
  • Hyatt Centric Victoria Harbour Hong Kong
  • Studio City Macau
