INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS TO CHINA

BEST INTERNATIONAL FLIGHT OPTIONS TO CHINA BESIDE BEIJING OR SHANGHAI

Introduction

Planning a trip to China? Either for business or for leisure? Maybe Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong or Macau might not be the best destination to fly to from abroad?

Sure, from these cities there are many connection flights and trains to get to your final destination. However, not only does an international flight directly to your final destination save travelling time, it often as well saves you big hassles. Flights in Greater China are often delayed or due to bad weather get even cancelled (e.g. in typhoon season) and train tickets get easily soled out during national holidays.

It doesn’t always have to be Beijing, Macau, Hong Kong or Shanghai

So for example, if you are planning to visit in your three weeks summer vacation the Yunnan Province with it’s beautiful landscapes, indigenous minority groups and historical rural old towns like Dali, Lijiang and Shangri-La why not flying directly from Europe to Kunming, the capital city of Yunnan, instead to Hong Kong, Shanghai or even Beijing?

Or taking off to a short business trip to Chengdu? Why not saving precious travelling time by trying to book an international flight directly to Chengdu? Or, if not available at least fly to close-by Chongqing and jump on a comfortable 1h train ride to Chengdu?

Because … you didn’t know that nowadays many big cities in China do have many international direct flights to many different continents and places all over the globe! Many of these cities you might not even have heard of before … and that is maybe the other reason you didn’t check for any flights to these places in first hand!
