How Can You Save Money by Finding the Cheapest Flight Ticket in the UK For Your Holiday to China?

First of all, you will need to know which cities you like to visit in China. For instance, the most likely cities you will be visiting in China for the first time: Beijing and Xi'an. Beijing is famed for the Great Wall, Summer Palace and the Forbidden City and Xi'an has been famous for the Army of Terracotta Warriors and Horses as well as the starting point of the Silk Road.  The question is how would this affect your decision when buying a flight ticket? OK, the secret is that the Airline you choose has little effect on the total cost of your holiday.

Option 1:

If you are from London, you have several options. However, we believe that flying with Air China (direct flight). Normally, the road is more expensive than connecting flights, as many of us have experience of this. However, it is worth, Air China, if you like, only to fly directly to China without exchanging the flight to another airport. In fact, it isnot always expensive in my case. Remember you are visiting China for Beijing and Xi'an. A tip for you is that DO NOT book your flight to Beijing, instead, book it to Xi'an, reason for this is that the promotional offer from Air China for flying to Xi'an is often available. It works out as following: London-Beijing-Xi'an-Beijing-London. Therefore, you find that Xi'an as your final destination shown on your flight schedule. By doing so, you saved your money for purchase the flight ticket from Beijing to Xi'an in China; solely buying the flight ticket Beijing-Xi'an in China can be quite expensive. To do this correctly, you need to inform the airline that you will make a stopover at Beijing for a few days before flying to Xi'an.(the duration will be up to how many days you are visiting Beijing) It is allowed of doing so in many cases.

Option 2: KLM/China Southern Airlines

If you depart from other major airport from the UK, you may consider KLM via Amsterdam, an indirect flight and quite often has promotional offer to China. Many airlines are similar to KLM as described above. However, KLM is affiliated with China Southern Airlines. Therefore, they have a marketing agreement in place, which is called code share (find out more at Wikipedia.) initially, it means that flights from both airlines that fly the same route - This provides an apparent increase in the frequency of service on the route by one airline." China Southern Airlines operating the flights Beijing-Xi'an in China as well, therefore, you can book your flights to China via Amsterdam, and then you will need to exchange your flight at Amsterdam.  Again, you need to book your flight to Xi'an instead of Beijing; you might have to pay for a little extra for this. However, it works out cheaper than buying a flight ticket from Beijing to Xi'an in China. As China Southern Airlines have their own flights from Beijing to Xi'an. When doing this you need to inform the airlines (KLM) that you will need to make stopover at Beijing for a few days before departing for Xi'an. The duration will be up to how many days you are going to stay in Beijing for your visit.

 Option 3: Other Asian Airlines.

Many Asian airlines have their flights from their own country to China. Thai Airways, Cathay Pacific, Koreanair, JAL, Malaysia Airlines and Singapore Airlines... therefore, you may consider flying with any one of them, and make a stopover at their country. For example, Thai Airways has its own flights from Bangkok to Beijing. Thus, you can make a stopover at Bangkok if you also like to visit Bangkok as an add-on destination for your holiday. It is worth trying that way if you are not satisfied by just visiting China for your holiday. Then again you may do the same if you like to visit Japan, then choose JAL (Japanese Airlines), or Kuala Lumpur and choose Malaysia Airlines.  The only thing you need to bear in mind is that you need to book your flight to China as your final destination on those airlines. Inform the airlines how many days you are going to stay at their country before exchanging your flight to Beijing.

Complete Guide to Visa a run from Bangkok to Cambodia - the cheapest way

I recently discovered a cheaper way to get a visa without the need to run an agency. With this, you will be completely alone. Consider it a travel adventure. It will be an advantage if you speak a bit 'Thai just enough to get by. You have to leave home at 4:30 clock when you return to Bangkok in the afternoon the first bus leaves at 05.00 just watch the next bus is quite full and return as late. So they tend to be heavy trafficBangkok. Just follow the steps carefully and you'll be fine:

1. From home, take a taxi and tell the driver to take you to Central Bangna.

2. The bus to Cambodia is parked in front of a large shopping center C. There is only one bus, bus and see people outside of the bag, but it will be a Thai (usually a woman) is in possession of a ticket with a belt. Concept, and that will give you a ticket now (the 2-way ticket). Pay her 300 baht and can beBus. Think of the list on the ticket when the bus comes from Cambodia to Bangkok. There are two dates. The first clock is at 11 and the other by a clock, if necessary, ask the ticket. Choose your seat, relax and enjoy the ride of 4 hours. The bus arrives at the border to 9 clock.

3. On arrival at the border, just follow the crowd out of the bus to the Thai immigration authorities. Fall in line and give your passport, the officer in which theLine says (foreign passport).

4. Now welcome, Cambodia in person! Debates in its own interest, not anyone, but only man in uniform (the policeman). Ask them the way to the immigration office in Cambodia. Do not be surprised if a guy follow you and tell you that will give you the stamp or have a taxi or whatever. You do not need a ride. Take care of them not only going straight to the immigration office. By Thai immigration authorities, is about 300-500 meters on footimmigration authorities of Cambodia.

5. The cost is only 200 baht (may depend on nationality). You must comply with the officer, giving the stamp and not pay for someone who tells you that you will give the "stamp VIP" and the like. If you do not have the B visa, the officer may ask if you still want to go to Cambodia or go right back to Thailand. If you want to catch the 11:00 clock time, I suggest you just get the mark and return immediately.

6. AfterYou can get the visa stamped in Thailand, back in the same direction, but when I enter the border from the opposite side, where you first get inside You will see signs to go anyway.

7. Now is the time to look for the bus. It will be no parking in the same place where you went. But at the same place, go around and you'll see a big sign "Car Park". Go there and search of passengers waiting area. Now you know where is the bus, you can go on the market, which is located outsideparking and have your lunch or buy something to eat soon later, while on the road.
