Hi, I wish to fly from Istanbul to Xi'an.Does sombody know a good connection? thanks

Mr.Hank replied:

Hi, the Air China and the Turkish Airline have scheduled flights from Istanbul to Beijing, China everyday. So, you could take an international flight firstly arrive at Beijing Capital International Airport and then transfer to a domestic airline to Xi'an Airport. There are frequent flights between these two cities~

How can I reserve a room in the airport guest house. Is there a website? The airport's website does not seem to work.
Thanks

Ms.Meng replied:

Do you mean the guesthouse hotel near the airport? If yes, I think you could go there when you arrive, no need to do reservation in advance.

May. 25,2009 22:23
Ms.Anna replied:

Yes, that's what I meant. Thank you for your response. So, is it not directly at the airport?

May. 26,2009 02:23
Ms.Meng replied:

Well, I remembered that there is marks leading you to the hotel. Just out the baggage claiming area, there is a reception center, you may ask help from the workers! Don't worry, Xi'an Airport is small so that you could find the hotel easily.

What is the best way that is cheap and safe to go from Xian airport to Bell Tower Hotel? Should I take taxi? any help would be appreciated price? any tips?

Also is there any bus service from Bell Tower Hotel area to Terracotta and back?

May. 24,2009 01:27
Mr.Paul replied:

To take the airport bus. If by taxi, you should pay 100rmb to the hotel. The airport bus ticket is 27rmb. Take the route from airport to Melody hotel and the Bell Tower hotel is within 5 minutes walking distance from there. No bus service to the terra cotta. You can rent a taxi or catch the tourist bus there. Enjoy~

Seems there is no direct flight from Canada to Xi'an. So, I think you should firstly arrive at Shanghai Airport and then transfer to Xi'an.

I have travelled to Xian several times through Incheon Airport in Soeul via Asiana airlines leaving from Seattle, WA. Check out Asiana - it is a good airline. You didn't say which airport in Canada you were near...

Hi , Im planning to go from Guangzhou to Xian by train,to Climb Mt huashaun and see the terra cotta solders how long is the train trip, and what is the cost for a sleeper or seat. would 4 or 5 days be enough time to do this trip, I plan to fly out to Bangkok from Xian to Bangkok, what air lines do you suggest.
Thanks

Apr. 10,2009 20:07
Mr.Qi replied:

Taking the fastest train from Guangzhou to Xian will cost 21 hours. The hard sleeper ticket is about 430rmb and soft sleeper is 650rmb. 4 or 5 days is enough. Usually, we would like to climb the mountain at night and get down the next morning after seeing the sunrise. There seems to be only one flight from Xian to Bangkok.
