NYTIMES

Such good news!!! Have a great time here together and if you need any help with anything to get your wife through the cultural shock here let me and my wife know we would like to help anyway we can... congrats again!!!!

That $50 does not include hotel expenses. Besides she may have lost her previously reserved seat (window or aisle) when she took the next day flight. Good she is home and safe now. Yes my honey is back home and she had a better seat on this flight than before, the hotel was cheap and the stress was a lot less trying to catch the flight, anyhow all is well here in Flushing NY:)

Just to let you know that my wife is home now, but her flight left Nanning later than scheduled due to thunderstorms and arrived in Beijing too late for her to catch her flight to Newark. She spent the nite in hotel and it cost $50 to get her on next day CO 88 and she is safe and sound at home. So you never know what mother nature can do when she wants too change plans:)

I found this great website www.flightstats.com which allows you to ck whether a flight is delayed from any airport, so I will look at this Saturday morning to see if my honey made it on the flight to Beijing.

My wife is coming home this Sunday:) and but she is a little nervous since the weather in Nanning has not been that great and Sunday they predict thunderstorm and she thinks that her flight in the morning to Beijing Sunday may be delayed. I told her that everything will be ok, they fly in wet weather and the weather in Beijing will be nice Sunday, so not to worry.

Beijing Airport has 3 terminals: T1, T2 and T3. CO88 (Code-share with UA 3421) departs from T3 at 15:45. T3 is the newest terminal. There are shuttle buses between T1-T3 (I believe). CO88 may start check-in luggages around 1:00PM. If your wife's plane to Beijing is not late, she should be OK. Check the following website for updated flight info. http://www.bcia.com.cn/flight/flightinfo.action Yeah, it was CO88 that I usually fly home on, and flew home in April. Just catch the right shuttle bus and it's a ten minute ride to the International airport. Inside and at the back is the new efficient check-in and she'll get on the train to her gate. It's all pretty quick, now. She will have a couple of distinct advantages I don't have...Chinese writing won't look like Christmas trees and little houses to her, and being a woman she will ask for directions if she doesn't understand something. I hope she has a safe trip. tsap seui Hopefully she will not have an issue with the flight from Nanning to Beijing with weather delays or mechanical, but thank you for your follow up and appreciate all your help.

Thanks ...........big load off my mind, and you made my day!!!!

Is 3C close by to 3E? Thanks

i forgot to mention that she is taking Continental from Beijing which departs at 3:45pm Check which terminal she would leave from. I believe it's the old Terminal 2. If not, she would have to take the subway, but she should still have plenty of time. I believe your right, I am just worried that she will have trouble waiting for her luggage from Nanning then have to wait for them to transfer to Continental, but i guess she can hire someone to help her with schlepping them to Continental ticket counter.

My wife is departing on Air China at 9am and arriving in Beijing at 12:30pm. Her flight from Beijing to Newark leaves at 3:45pm, will she make it? Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks,

Thanks again everyone for all your help as always keep in touch.

Hi I just bought a 1 way ticket JFK to Nanning leaving May 2nd for my wife for $620. She will stay probably 2-3 months, is the price of the return going to cost a lot more if she buys ticket in China. I checked all the websites for the return 1 way from Nanning to JFK and the prices from July to Sept are around $1,100 and up. Can anyone make a suggestion as to what is the cheapest way to buy the return ticket when she is in Nanning? Thanks, Ben

What does one need as far as forms to fill out to request family member to come to USA? Is it the DFS-157?

Does anyone have a copy or an example of a letter we could use to bring my wifes brother here to visit us in NYC? Thanks, Ben

Hey there ......oneday when you have a chance bring her to Flushing NY and she will see similar prices as in China, I am very fortunate to be living nearby that my wife still feels the strong ties to being close to home, since eveyone is from Fujin, Beijing , etc. it is unbelievable how many different areas people come from and live here in NYC. If you do come I would like to meet you and your lao po.

Hi My wife wants to know the process needed to bring her brother here to visit her now that she has her 10 year green card, is it any easier to do? Also what are the steps that i can help her to take to bring him here? Any help would be appreciated ,,,,, Thanks, Ben
