Domestic flights within China can be a quick way to get around if the cities are far apart. There are some major downsides though.
If you book your trip through us you don't need to worry about purchasing tickets yourself but if you are planning an excursion yourself here's some things to keep in mind:
- The process of flying domestically within China is very similar to flying anywhere else. You will still want to book ahead of time online, you will show up to the ticket counter to collect your boarding pass, go through security, and board the plane.
- Flights within China are much more likely to be delayed than those elsewhere. Even rain will cause many flights to be delayed so if you have a tight timeline you should avoid flying.
- Domestic flights can be very cheap but you shouldn't expect the luxuries present even with budget tickets in the US. Your personal space will be very limited.
- Many cheap tickets will not include luggage so be very sure you are booking a flight that works with what you are bringing.
- If you are traveling during a Chinese national holiday expect the airport and the flights to be packed.
