Mr.ALAIN(France) replied:
It's unnecessary for him to get the paper receipt, which is just for his reference. You just need to send him the copy or photo of the tickets by email. He could change the boarding pass with his passport or PNR (Passenger Name Record) at the Business Service Counter at the airport.

There is no airport in Wenling, Zhuji, Zhangjiagang, the nearest airports to each city should be Taizhou Luqiao Airport, Hangzhou Xiaoshan Airport, Wuxi Aiport.
Considering your itinerary, you may take Bus from Wenling Bus Station to Zhuji, the bus departs at around 11:00am each day with the fare around CNY110.00 one way. And from Zhuji to Zhangjiagang, you could take bus or train. You may go to the Bus or Train Station directly to check the exact fare and buy the tickets. Hope this info. could give you some Help.

Hi, I would like to know the departure and arrival time for flight from Singapore to Kunming.
Thanks

Ms.Qian(China) replied:
You need offer your departure date since the flight varies day by day. For example, in July, direct flights from Singapore City to Kunming are available every Monday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Every Monday, Friday and Saturday, China Eastern Airlines provides flights between the two cities and the schedule is: departing at 02:20 and arrival time is 05:40 (Mondays and Fridays), departing at 03:15 and reach Kunming at 06:40 (Saturdays).
On Thursdays and Sundays, MT airlines has flight respectively at 08:10 and arrival time is 12:10.
If you do not need direct flight, you can transfer at Chengdu, Beijing, Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur.
