Chinese airlines cancel flights to Japan
At least we know that Japan is on the right side of history and is not afraid to make that clear.
That's so helpful, wouldn't it be smarter?
Hello, did anyone manage to register on their website and how? Thanks for the advice and experience
Not me. I prefer to buy from the Chinese through SA, there's no talking to them anyway.
According to the feedback from various people, I preferred not to try it after all. I buy them through Pelikan as perhaps the only exception to buying directly from the airlines.
After my experience with Pelikan, its speed and working hours, I have long since returned to Student Agency (in case of exceptions), although I would not like to advertise for them. ,🙂
You're right, there are those discount coupons on Pelikan again, so it depends if you prefer the lowest price or services...
Whenever. 😆
And China Eastern will start flying between Vienna and Xi'an on April 20.
BUT.
● The old and ugly A330-200
The cheapest fare is without checked baggage...
So since it's on SkyTeam if there are prices around 300 EUR return which I see from Spain/Italy, it would be worth a try :)
Great news for me. Better the good old a330 than the new 787 dreamliner Shanghai airlines which operates flights from Budapest....
