Great Wall of ChinaThere are a number of different ways you can find a flight from your country to China. First of all, do you have a Chinese visa? If you do, then you won’t have any problems entering the country. There are a number of international airports in China. Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong are the most common places to enter China. If you land in Hong Kong you may not need a visa, but you will need a Chinese visa in order to enter mainland China. Beijing has recently created a new international airport in preparation to the Olympics, so their facility is more updated.

Since you have a Chinese visa, you can look for deals at your local travel agency or you can search online and pay with a credit card. Where are you flying from? You can check out Kayak.com to search through the different discount airline websites to find a flight that is the right price for you. A new airline that offers some discount prices to fly to Hong Kong is Oasis Hong Kong. You might want to check out their website to see if they offer a flight near you. So far they only offer flights from Hong Kong to Vancouver, Canada and London, England.

I flew from Vancouver (YVR) to Hong Kong (HKG) with Cathay Pacific and the flight was comfortable even though it was over 14 hours long. I was then able to connect with a flight to Chongqing (CKG) with the airline Dragon Air, Cathay Pacific’s domestic airline in China. I’ve traveled by air to Beijing and Shenzhen and have found the domestic airline service to be generally the same.

Which airline do you think is best to fly to China? Do you know where to get the best deals online?

One of the cheapest airlines to use to get to and from the Philippines is Cebu Pacific Air. Check out their current deals and schedules. They fly domestically and internationally. Their routes are always expanding, so keep checking them out. One thing to worry about when traveling to the Philippines is the weather. Sometimes the weather can delay flights, so try to give yourself some time between flights just in case your flight is delayed. I’ve personally used this airline to travel from Manila to Hong Kong on my way to China. It was cheaper than most of the other airlines. When you are traveling for two hours, I don’t think it really matters about comfort and luxury.
