I never was a big into airline mileage plans. But I signed up for United Airlines mileage program. With 2 flights from the US to Hong Kong I have 35000 miles. I signed up for the United Airlines visa card and received 50,000 miles with the first purchase. With those miles combined I can get Yaun's flight to the states for just the airport fee's. If you are going to be making regular trips to visit China you should look into a mileage program. I am going to save about a thousand dollars by just taking 5 minutes to fill out 2 forms. That money will pay for the AOS for Yaun after we are married. If only I could find away to get Vermont to speed up the paperwork process I would be a very happy man. -
Sorry it's taken me so long to reply to my own question about whether or not Chinese Citizens can leave the Incheon Airport... the answer is no. US Citizens can, however, stay in South Korea visa free for up to 90 days. Anyway, I'm not going to go wandering around in Seoul alone with my Sweetie sitting in the airport. I guess we'll just have to skip out on the sightseeing. We're flying Asiana Airlines, we got a really good deal. From our local city airport here all the way to Chicago. The only catch is the layover in Incheon is from 5 am to 6pm. Reeealllyyy Boring. I hope Incheon is an interesting airport!! I was wondering if there's anyone who's flown with Asiana before? This is my first time. The website looks nice... esp. if it's true that each passenger in economy really does get their own tv to flip through... lol -
I'm looking for low cost alternatives for Chicago to Guangzhou. I'd like to keep layovers to a minimun if possible. Any ideas? -
My experience is on NWA, which is lousy in terms of customer service, but the flights to and from Tokyo were great. The seats were kind of roomy (I'm 6' 225 with long legs), and the in-seat entertainment in economy was great. Made the long flights go a little faster. It was cattle car each way from Tokyo to GZ. They had an in flight movie and food, but the seats were the same as domestic, even though the flight was like 5 hours and change. The airfares from Spokane, WA are never good, having paid about $950 to go in late September. I am considering a short trip from 12/26 to 1/2. I'm finding cheaptickets has fares as low as $617 INCLUDING FEES but it seems they are fleeting. I ran the exact same search twice and the second time I got fares in the 1300 range, which are higher than I could get from NWA.com. Hong Kong is cheaper (600-900 consistently), and the train is only like $39 to GZ East, but where is the train station from the airport, and could I get soaked for a $150 taxi if I am not that skilled in Mandarin and I know like 3 words of Cantonese. The cheap fares seem to all involve China Southern or China Air. How do these compare to NWA or American, who also fly to HK and GZ? I've staye in Chinese hotels in GZ versus say the Holiday Inn, and I found them to be more austere and less comfortable. Are the airlines the same? So I guess what I am asking are for opinions of the various airlines that fly into GZ and HK, as well as any hassles that might or might not be involved in travelling to HK and taking a train to GZ versus flying straight into GZ. Thanks! Merc
