Flight Booking Into and Within China

Flights into China from Southeast Asia

The shortest non-stop options into mainland China from our region are well established. From Kuala Lumpur: Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Xiamen, Kunming, Chengdu, Shanghai and Beijing all have direct services. From Singapore: the same set plus Hangzhou and Chongqing. From Bangkok: nearly every major Chinese city.

We route you on the non-stop option first and only consider a connection when it saves meaningful money or opens up a much better arrival time. Airline preference, baggage allowance and whether you want to arrive in the morning or evening all get taken into account before we quote.

Domestic sectors inside China

China is the size of a continent, and two internal flights are usually what turn a two-city trip into a five-city one. The sectors we book most often are Xi'an–Zhangjiajie, Zhangjiajie–Guilin, Guilin–Shanghai and Chengdu–Chongqing.

We hold seats, issue the ticket in your name, and brief you on which terminal and which check-in counter — Chinese airports are large and the signage is not always obvious in English.

Why book through us rather than an app

Three reasons. First, China's domestic booking systems routinely reject foreign-issued cards, which is where most independent travellers get stuck. Second, when a flight moves — and in China they do — we are the ones on the phone to the airline, not you in a queue at 06:00. Third, we do not book a flight in isolation: we check that the arrival time actually works with your itinerary, the transfer and the hotel check-in.

Standalone ticketing

You do not need to book a tour with us to use the ticketing desk. Plenty of guests come to us only for the flights, or only for the one sector they cannot buy themselves. Send us your route and dates and we will quote the fare with no obligation.
