From Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ), you can travel on one-stop flights to this airport with a layover at Incheon International Airport (ICN).
  • Something that parents should know before driving a rental car in China is that there is no national child restraint law in this country. Because of this fact, it is important to check with any rental car company that you plan on utilizing to make sure they can rent car seats to you.
  • Passengers looking for one of the cheapest flight options to get from the west coast of Canada to China should consider the midweek, one-stop flight aboard ANA that travels from Vancouver International Airport to Qingdao International Airport (TAO) with a layover at Incheon International Airport.
  • To prepare for your flight to China, you will need to obtain a visa before entering the country. Canadian citizens can stay in China for 15 days. The single-entry visa costs C$ 120 and can be submitted either online or by post. If you enter China as a group, you must also exit the country as a group.

  • If you are travelling to China with children, Air Canada offers several child-friendly options for families. Take advantage of Family Check-in and early boarding if you have children under the age of six, where you and your family can board early on flights to China. They also offer family seating on the flight.
  • China has many large cities that are easily reached by domestic flights from one of the many airports. Consider flying to a major airport such as Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK), Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG) or Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport (CTU), which offer flights from Canada with Air China.
  • If you are looking at flights to China near the start of the year, avoid the last week in January as it is the Chinese New Year, also known as the Spring Festival. Airfares can increase and airports will be busy as many Chinese citizens travel during this celebration.

Pros: "extremely friendly and helpful staff, the ability to choose from three options, the included hotel stay between flights, modern planes,"
Cons: "none of the film choices really appealed to me, but I am picky!"
Pros: "Friendly crew, 747-8 upper deck window seats in business have lots of storage at the under window bins"
Cons: "I was looking forward to flying a 747-8 again, it’s a nice aircraft but I found it more noisy than 787 and 350. Meals were very Asian oriented, entertainment had limited options. Had expected better on such a comparative route across the pacific"
Pros: "The crew was very friendly, and I was happy to be seated in a 2-person row."
Cons: "Nothing the crew could do- a lot of turbulence and food served past midnight!"
Pros: "Good service. Feed you twice. Which is great. But on a red eye. You want to sleep."
Cons: "Plane feels dated. A title tired."
Pros: "The music of kpop"
Cons: "Would have been good if there’s more korean drama available on the trip and some kimbap food too"
Cons: "The only thing that brought my rating of this flight down was the fact that it was so hot in the plane! From the moment we boarded, this plane was, for reasons we couldn’t figure out, stuffy and uncomfortably hot. My pregnant girlfriend did not particularly enjoy this flight."
Pros: "EVERYTHING!!!! The staff at the gates to the boarding staff. Everyone was very helpful and professional. The seats had plenty of room and the staff always provided service with a smile."
Cons: "I can't think of anything I disliked on this trip."
Pros: "Everything, the crew was outstanding. I haven't flew with all airlines but Koren Air was so good that I don't want to fly with any other airline, all ways Koren Air from here on out."
Cons: "The second meal wasn't the greatest but I think it was me not the food."
Pros: "Great legroom. Food better than last Korean Air flight a few years ago."
Cons: "Changed to smaller aircraft, last row in the aeroplane."
Pros: "Friendly crew, good food, roomy in economy (especially as the middle seat was not occupied)."
Cons: "Very limited movie/entertainment selection."
Pros: "The crew was friendly and professional, the food was pretty good for airplane food, and the movie selection was very good."
Pros: "EVA does a nice job getting all of the service out and making sure you have everything you want."
Cons: "If you are a big guy upgrade to exit row or economy plus. This is an airline that doesn’t generally serve people that are over 6’ or 200 lbs."

Cons: "I wanted to try the internet but wasn't able to get it to work. I was tired and I did not ask for help though."
Pros: "Really happy as had a exit seat so lots of leg room"
Pros: "The crew was very good at serving the meal. The crew did a great job telling passengers to get back in their seats when they were standing up while we were on the run way after landing."
Pros: "This is a bit weird, but it was the first time I flew Eva economy. I've taken this route many times in business and it would take pages to go through all the things that EVA does right in business class. So I was stunned when my first time in economy was so incredibly impressive as well."
Cons: "I'm really picky and there's nothing more I could have wanted in an economy flight experience."
Pros: "Boarding was really fast and smooth. I was section 5 and my first thought that it was going to take awhile to get to my section but I was in my seat in less than 15 minutes from the moment the doors were open. Very impressed."
Cons: "It can be hard to communicate to the crew, they do know English but it can be difficult when they are asking about what you want for dinner. I only had trouble 3 times on four of my international flights."
Pros: "There was a decent movie collection to watch."
Cons: "Seats were crammed, not enough width or legroom. Staff not that friendly. Food was alright but nothing to write home about"
Pros: "The crew was good. There were only 39 people on a 737 1/2 hour flight, so not much to comment."
Cons: "This was a connection to an EVA flight. I had 1.5 hours to clear immigration/customs AND go to the gate which was on the other side of the terminal which involved taking 2 shuttle trains and walking to THE END of the terminal C where the shuttle train was being rebuilt; only to discover the gate had"

Cons: "The vegetarian meals were pretty bad and I felt like the entertainment selection wasn’t great."

Cons: "improve food with better choices"
Pros: "Crew was okay. Food was the worse ever. Middle comfort on seats"

Cons: "the seats in business class as 1-2-1 seating. each seat has aisle access! flight was super smooth, seats comfortable, although the ‘2’ seas had no arm rest on the isle side. took a little getting used to. There was no overhead bin for the center “2” seas, had to share with the outer window occupants, but plenty of room. IFE was a huge screen with great programming. it looked like.a 16 or 18” screen. meal service was above average and wine selection was strong. featuring both old world and new."
Pros: "Service, extra blankets and pillows."
Cons: "Very full flight. A little chaotic in SF airport. Rules for hand luggage different / ended up having to check one bag that I didn’t have to with Alaska Air."
Pros: "Lots of selections on entertainment during flight, good movies and music."
Cons: "None"

Flight itself fine, big problem with KAYAK. Revised e-ticket sent in July stated departure LHR 10:55, arrival SFO 13:45. (a believable local arrival time given flight length and time difference). When we got to LHR there was no 10:55 flight to SFO and were advised that in fact flight LH2473 was arriving in MUNICH at 13:45pm, and that we would need to get a connecting flight arriving in SFO at 18:55 local time - over 5 hours later than expected. 1) you the booking agent made an error on the revised e-ticket you sent, omitting the Munich stopover and incorrect SFO arrival time. 2) I booked a DIRECT flight and 3) we had to cancel plans this end as a result, even though the team at LHR did a great job moving us to a later direct flight getting us in 2 hours earlier than the flight from munich would have.

I'm very happy with my choice to fly with Lufthansa, delicious food, every was great!!

What did we like? Nothing really...The food choice and quality were very poor, seats were uncomfortable, tv screens were dirty full of greasy fingerprints, some of the staff (Not All) were miserable, shall I go on???

Pros: "A very quick flight, but the crew was quite friendly!"
Cons: "I would have liked for there to have been a gluten-free snack available."
Pros: "Not enough restrooms the food was not the good mor"
Cons: "More choices for food seats not comfortable too narrow no space"
Pros: "There wasn’t anything to highlight as good. On this trip except LHR was organized and clean. The boarding was a free for all after the elderly and young had been boarded footstep as they should."
Cons: "The ground staff were rude and officious"
Pros: "Plane didn't crash."
Cons: "Boarding totally chaotic, someone was in my assigned seat, plane was very late, food was crappy, no legroom , seat and armrests uncomfortable , constant screaming babies, smelly passengers, music only came out of one speaker, music kept jumping from one song to another and then back !"
Pros: "Seating, interior and menu"
Cons: "My previous flight was late. Flight attendants didn’t know how to guide me to my next gate as I was late"
Pros: "It was really nice having the bassinet for our little one."
Cons: "My wife encountered a rude attendant after simply getting up and asking for water."
Pros: "The crew was ok. The seating was comfortable as we had good leg room as we booked on a premium economy class."
Cons: "We requested for a chicken meal at dinner time but instead my husband and I was served the beef meal. I was very disappointed as firstly the way the beef was cooked tasted horrid. Secondly a mix up at the catering dept like labelling beef meal as chicken should never happen!"

Multiple Delays for about 4hours. That is simply unacceptable and ridiculous

My flight was canceled as I was on my way to the airport. Was on hold with Air Canada for 45 minutes and was cut off:(

The flight was efficient. It was confusing which gate and area you were suppose to line up in.

Our first flight was delayed 2 hours and then just 5 minutes after landing, we find out our connecting flight was canceled. They almost lost our luggage but fortunately a crew member by the name of Abu was pur savior and found it. Unfortunately, that ordeal took us almost 2 hrs and we couldn't be accommodated on another flight, forcing us to stay in Montreal for 3 days, paying only for one night at a hotel and some voucher for food only valid at the airport. Total BS. They said to save the receipts of any expense we incur to submit them for refund oj their website. But, who know how long will take them to pay us back so.. yeah good job Air Canda. 👎👎

Same reasons I mentioned before, and I can add , for this flight they reserved tickets more than the available seats, they make the flight delay until the resolved problem by dropping couple people for next flight

The flight was late leaving by a half hour. Other than that it was excellent

Cons: "Travel agency did not notify me that I needed to get a Yellow Fever immunization"
Pros: "The seat was fine for economy"
Cons: "You should offer free wifi! Air Canada should lead the way and be above the rest!"
Pros: "Everything was great!"
Cons: "The overhead bin space of this airplane was too small. My suitcase, which fits on every other type of plane, could not fit on this one. I had to check it and then go grab it at baggage claim, therefore having to go through security again. This was not the most convient for a tight connection."
Pros: "Overnight flight so slept. Flight attendants were friendly and helpful."
Cons: "Cramped seating. No entertainment."
