FAQs - booking China flights

  • If I plan on travelling to China in February or early March for the lantern festival, which city should I fly to?

    While most major cities in China take part in this festival, travellers often think that some of the smaller villages and cities in the south are a much more ideal setting for this type of festival. A good international airport choice to access this part of China is the Wenzhou Longwan International Airport (WNZ), and you can find one-stop flights from Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) to this airport aboard Shanghai airlines with a layover at Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport (SHA).

  • Which airport in China is the largest hub for international travel and offers a number of domestic flights to other cities in China after a trip from Canada?

    By far, the largest international hub airport in China is the Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG). You can find one-stop flights to this airport from cities all over Canada, such as Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal, and Toronto, which also offer nonstop flights. From this airport in China, you will find nonstop flights to cities such as Dalian, Guangzhou, Chongqing, Kunming and Guiyang, to name just a few.

Top tips for finding cheap flights to China

  • Enter your preferred departure airport and travel dates into the search form above to unlock the latest China flight deals.
  • Travellers making their way to the southwestern part of China might instead consider flying to the large international airport called Noi Bai International Airport (HAN) in neighbouring Vietnam. 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.
  • Travellers can import certain duty-free products upon arrival in China, including 400 cigarettes, 1.5 L of alcohol or 50 g of silver or gold. You will not be able to bring fresh fruit or meat into the country.
  • 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.

Not accommodating ground staff On board slow service Crew members not very friendly

lunch was good; breakfast was kinda meh cabin temprature was way too high new entertainment system but somewhat limited content

You did not put me on a Korean Air flight! so I do not have nothing to say

Wonderful cabin crew!!!!! Food was poor, in flight entertainment was just ok. They need to serve more water on a 15 hour flight--we were dehydrated and kept asking for water.

Going through security a second time to get on the next Korean Air flight was utterly ridiculous and unnecessary. We were in a International secure area.

Flight arrived early, fantastic, since it is short flight, no food being served

Always fly with Korean Airlines. Best service great food. Nice and clean as always.

Spokane airport was easy to get through. Seattle having my arrival and international departure gate so close to each other was fantastic! The waiting area though was a bit confusing about where to sit for my gate.

Customer service is not a top priority from boarding to while on flight, was belittled on boarding Some staff speak english at almost a 0% fluency

1. The entrance to boarding gate G5 (which is at a lower level) is from the walkway (which is at the upper level). That entrance was locked and there was no place for hundreds of people to sit at the upper level, for a long time as the flight was 45 minutes late. 2. The choice of movies on board was extermely limited and poor. 3. The staff was unhelpful and faked politeness.

No ice for the drinks. Only gave a half a cup of your beverage. Not enough water. I got very dehydrated.

Seats could have been more comfortable, but it was a pretty good experience all things considered

Eva air is a good airline. The seats on the way to Taipei could have certainly been more comfortable, but all in all it was a pretty good experience.

Fast boarding process. Flight was expected for a long haul economy flight

Boarding is fast and easy for economy class, food was ok baggage policies are good

Overall the flight was what might be expected for a long haul flight to Asia in economy class. The cabin crew was attentive and the food was good. Boarding was fairly fast and easy. The one thing I found frustrating was the EVA app. It is terrible. Trying to do anything on it was almost impossible.

seamless check in/ friendly staff, food is good, always love flying Eva Air

My original flight was rescheduled & EVA did a good job rescheduling my flight & connecting flight.

Very uncomfortable and crowded seats in economy. Flight attendant refused request to move to nearby unused seat with more legroom because “It was more money for that seat”. It was also near impossible to reach airline directly by phone. Waits upwards of an hour and not very helpful customer service representatives after long wait. Cannot recommend this airline.

The seat is too hard and my back and bottom are having servers pain

There was no lounge for passengers waiting before boarding the aircraft at F65, so passengers are just sitting on the floor or just spread everywhere the premises before boarding.

Great crew, friendly. Found the trip long just sitting with no onboard entertainment

All went fine. Boarding was efficient, staff was really friendly, and we were kept up to date on any changes to our itinerary. My only note for improvement is that on this particular plane, the recline in economy class was negligible. I know it's a coach seat, but I had another UA flight (SFO to BWI) and the seat was more comfortable with better recline.

Really good experience with a redeye flight from SFO to BWI. Boarding was efficient, plane was comfortable and newer than others, lots of audio and video choices, and staff was great. I appreciate United's service.

Was a good flight. On time. Was full and all went well

My flight from Toronto was delayed but the connecting United flight waited for me 👍

The original seat on the flight Toronto Newark had the floor flooded with coffee spilled, so they changed our seat to premium economy. For the flight from Newark to San Salvador we were i the last row, no reclinable seats and beside the toilet. I asked for headsets to the waitress and she gave it to.me test of all the passengers, while she was staying right behind me..

Couldn’t get the tv screen to work, didn’t try food, so no comment

Flight was delayed but reasonable notice and communication was always there for the passengers.

I'm Canadian. I have the unfortunate experience of pretty not having the choice to fly with them. THEY ARE TERRIBLE.

Got auestioned multiple times by gate agents. They ran out of chicken for the first meal. Slept pretty good on it and had good entertainment.

Everything was fine except that the ground personnel in Toronto wasn't able to operate the jet bridge, so that everybody was stuck in the plane after landing for 40 min, so I missed my connection.

The passenger next to me Goran Goranov (elderly man in his 70s on his way to visit his children and grandchildren in Washington, DC) dropped his neck support pillow while boarding - none of the ground crew helped him. He subsequently lost his green card somewhere on the plane or on his way to the other airplane. I hope he found it. I am worried about him. His son had requested an agent to wait for him at the gate - nobody was there when Mr. Goranov came out of the plane Sofia- Frankfurt. Other passengers had to help him get to the next gate for Washington, DC. I hope Mr. Goranov found his Green card and got safely to Washington, DC to spend time with his family during the holiday season.

They have more than 4 hours delay, and broken all my bags

At the gate I requested a change of seat to an aisle because of a medical issue, and I was graciously accommodated. Everyone was very pleasant and helpful.

Very short flight so the limited space and lack of entertainment were no issue. Crew was friendly and the flight was very punctual. Baggage claim in Prague was lightning quick.

Simply the best way to get nonstop to Europe. if you’re lucky, there’s clear skies with views of Arctic or the aurora at night.

Paid extra for the seat to have more leg room they changed the aircraft and gave me the last seat in the cabin and I couldn't even recline the seat backwards due to the wall behind. Asked the crew member she said she will check as she has to accommodate other people and never came back or moved me elsewhere.

Very uncomfortable seats. Was shocked they were that bad in business class

Terrible experience. Air canada is the worst and Kayak website is also not transparent.

Cancel because of maintenance issues. rebooked next day and then the replacement plane 3 hours late.

My flight was great but my inbound flight from Toronto to Sault st Marir delayed more than 2 hours and we had to change the airoplan.

This was a fraudulent transaction. Kayak was at fault for accepting a stolen credit card. Kayak needs to change their verification process.

As is pretty much the norm with Air Canada now, we left late from the gate (45 minutes late). This is my 12th flight with AC in the last 12 months and 10 of those flights were either late or cancelled. AC essentially has a monopoly in Canada so they have carte blanche to charge exorbitant rates now and give poor service, with no repercussions.

I did not like the fact that our bags went missing

Free ear adapters for movie screen and a snack with a beverage.

Airport staff super friendly. Even put us on an earlier flight because we arrived early.

A 2 hour delay because they couldn’t fit some oversized cargo in the small hold doors of an Embraer! Surely they know the sizes before attempting to load it?

Treating guests with respect when they are having issues. Myself and another guest were expected to climb over someone who had a disability and was clearly not well. There was no assistance. Also when the lady beside me asked to see if there was a possibility to get off the plane as soon as they were able because her husband is having emergency surgery the flight attendant’s response was so rude and dismissive.
