phuketrichard Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Looking at a flight back to SF this fall an came across Air China ( from Bangkok OR Phuket) r/t to sf/la/Seattle and Vancouver for only $1,032!!! It goes via Beijing and as it has a 8 hour layover you can go outside the airport as one can obtain a transit /special permission stamp to goout of the airport if your stop over is less than 72 hours!!! http://www.tour-beij...om/short-tours/ Seems enough time to visit some sites as the ariport is only a 1/2 hour taxi ride away Has anyone had a short stopover in Beijing?

garyk Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I have once. And got the stamp to look around. But decided not to go. The terminal is nice. The lay over LONG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elfin Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I have flown with them a couple of times between Beijing and BKK with my wife and then baby. We got looked after pretty well probably because of a very cute baby, and it is only a 5 hour flight. Service was OK, if a bit cold. If you want another beer or a top-up of wine, you may get a snarl, but they will oblige. You basically get what you pay for, but I had no complaints, and they are a pretty safe airline now.
