Flight to China

Our convenient Customer Service Portal is your one-stop shop for most travel queries, including about flight changes and cancellations due to COVID-19. For greater peace of mind, read through the terms and conditions of your chosen airline before booking your next flight.

If it’s your first time travelling during the COVID-19 pandemic, you’ll no doubt notice a few more standards and rules in place. Take note of these tips and make your journey to China go off without a hitch:

• Before booking anything, check if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your destination and origin. Get up-to-date information by checking government travel advisories.
• Requirements state you must wear a face mask at the airport, including at security checkpoints. Be prepared to lower your mask for identification purposes when asked by a TSA employee.
• Avoid handing your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA officer. Instead, you should place the pass on the scanner and then hold it up for inspection.
• You are now permitted to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on bag. This will need to be removed for X-ray scanning.
• Empty your personal items from your pockets, like your small change and phone, and place them in your carry-on rather than the bins. This will minimize handling during the screening process.
• If you’re bringing food on the plane, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to handle your carry-on bag or food container for inspection.
