China Civil Aviation
Traveling by air is perhaps the most convenient and the fastest way to travel around China. The country's civil aviation began in 1949. Presently, most major cities in China feature large, state of the art airports that provide passengers with modern facilities and word-class aircrafts. They are under the supervision of the General Administration of Civil Aviation of China (CAAC).
Currently Chinese airports service about 1,279 regular air routes. 1,035 of these are domestic flights (including the routes to Hong Kong and Macau), while 244 are international. Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou handle the majority of the country's air traffic, while more than 200 Chinese airports (excluding Hong Kong and Macau), connect 127 domestic cities and 80 international cities (in 38 countries). These airports are equipped to efficiently handle the ever increasing volume of air transportation.

Shuttles conveniently provide transportation from airports to accessible city locations. Shuttles schedules offer information about pick up times as well as shuttle routes. If you are willing to pay a little more, taxis are widely available throughout the country, providing faster and perhaps more convenient city to airport transportation. Generally, transportation fees are relatively inexpensive, though they vary from city to city.
It is very easy to book flights while in China. You can purchase tickets directly at the airport, or book them through hotels, ticket-booking offices or travel agencies. It is also possible to reserve your tickets on-line. For your convenience, we offers China Air Ticket and online reservation services to assist you as you plan your visit. As you compare ticket prices, remember that an additional tax is charged, for both domestic and international flights. Additionally, foreign passengers must provide a valid passport and ID card when purchasing air tickets.

Airline usually stop checking-in 30 to 45 minutes before scheduled departure of the flights, so you need to arrive at least 90 minutes before the departure time. Don't forget to allow for time to get from your hotel to the airport.
