Tips to get a cheap ticket when flying in China
Some routes can get extremely busy and book up really quick so it’s advisable to book well in advance. If you cannot book the flight before you arrive in China, make sure to book it once you arrive and at most 2 days before the flight.
Check the flights prices against the bus and trains fares. Sometimes you might be able to save some money by choosing not to fly.
Some low-cost airlines operate only in a certain part of the country.
Note: all flights are non-smoking
