What flight should I take to go to Zuzhou Guanyin Airport from Qingdao and back to Qingdao and the days of the available flights or from Hongkong to Zuzhou Airport and back to Hongkong and the available dates?
May. 20,2009 21:42
Ms. Sophie (France) replied:
Most possibly it should be Xuzhou Guanyin Airport, not Zuzhou Guanyin Airport. There is no direct flight between Xuzhou and Qingdao. I suggest you try Xuzhou-Shanghai (Hongqiao Airport)-Qingdao, or Xuzhou-Beijing (Capital int’l Airport)-Qingdao. The direct flights between Hong Kong and Xuzhou are not available and I suggest you to arrive Guangzhou first and then fly to Xuzhou.

Mr.Dan(Philippine) replied:
Hi Sophie,
Thanks for the info.
Do you mean I have to take a Hongkong-Guangzhou-Xuzhou and back flights? Is there an everyday flight to all of the destination from Hongkong?

Mrs.Sophie(France) replied:
Yes, you could take the flight of Hong Kong-Guangzhou-Xuzhou.
There are only flights from Hong kong to some major cities like Beijing and Shanghai, but not everyday flight to all the destination in mainland China. You may contact this travel agency to get the detailed information.

Hi. I would just like to ask regarding the airfare. How much is the ticket from Manila to Harbin China? Most probably I need to leave June 15 onwards. Thank you.
May. 26,2009 03:48
Ms.Anna(Indonesia) replied:
Direct flight from Manila to Harbin is not available and you need to arrive at Beijing first and then transfer a flight to Harbin. The ticket from Manila to Beijing will be around 2,700rmb excludes any tax or fee and the flight will stop at Xiamen Airport for about 55 minutes.
Manila to Beijing flight info: CZ378 15JUN MNLPEK 09:00-14:35
Flights from Beijing to Harbin are easy to get with some special offer discount for early booking. You can ask the ticket booking center to help to get best discount ticket.

Halow, are there any flights from Qingdao to Shijiazhuang? Any day from May 24 to 30 is ok

Mr.Chee(CN) replied:
Sorry, no flight is available between the two cities.
May. 19,2009 04:10
Mr.Chee(CN) replied:
Suggest you try neighboring cities.
May. 19,2009 19:42
Mr.dong(china) replied:
How about weifang to Shijiazhuang, any flights?
May. 19,2009 22:13
Mr.Ross(UK) replied:
No flight from Weifang to shijiazhuang. Shijiazhuang is about 280 km from Beijing and shijiazhuang airport is rather small, so there are only a few flights. Suggest you fly to Beijing and then transfer to a train (bullet train) to Shijiazhuang, about 2 hours by bullet train from Beijing to Shijianzhuang.

when i enquire about booking flights, why is there no price??
May. 11,2009 21:01
Mr.Bournival(Canada) replied:
There is price for Chinese domestic flights. For international flights, the airfare is rather unstable and it changes from time to time, so you can not see the price on the web. You can contact the ticket booking agencies or the airlines to get manual quotation.

Hi, I m a Nepali student studying in China. I am going to Nepal from Korean airlines through Qingdao-Kathmandu. If I go through Korea, do I need visa for Korea if we stay for transit?

Mr.Mohana(India) replied:
The Republic of Korea has embassy in Beijing and consulates in Qingdao and some other cities. I suggest you to consult the staff at the embassy or consulate directly to get exact information. You can refer to this webpage to get the contact information of the embassy and consulate.

Which airline fly kathmandu to liaoning city？
Apr. 27,2009 04:07
Mr.Stern(UK) replied:
Liaoning is a province and the capital is Shenyang. You can take the flight from Kathmandu to Shenyang. As far as I know, only Korean Air has such flights.
Besides, you can take a flight from Kathmandu to some Chinese cities, like Shanghai or Guangzhou since there are more flights available and then transfer to Shenyang.

Mr.paula(China) replied:
According to Civil Aviation, F A I refer to the First class cabin, c d Z refers to the business class cabin and Y B H K L S M N Q T X U E W V G refer to the economic cabin. Each cabin has different price, so a certain alphabet stands for a certain price. But the alphabet used are not universal, each airline has its own regulations. So when you buy ticket, please ask clearly the related price and the due date of your ticket.
