Thank you, Ricky! Great info. for my upcoming trip to Shanghai!
Glad it was helpful!
Hello Ricky, great information for traveller who want to travel to China. I am born and rise from Beijing and would like to visit my family when the restriction ease off. Just curious if I book an Aeroplan reward ticket from YYZ-PEK on later days (for example: December), and the plane will not take off due to the COVID restriction, am I able to book the same route later with the points I pay now like you did with the old program. Thanks
Not that I am planning this trip, but my question is whether it would it be possible for a non-Chinese speaking person be able to manage this trip.
Thanks! Great information for us as we are planning a similar itinerary to Beijing on a family visa. We are holding off presently in the hope that restrictions will be eased and direct flights resumed. We are also unclear about medical insurance validity. I assume regular travel medical insurance provided by a credit card is invalidated if you travel during a pandemic and specialized COVID specific insurance needs to be sought out. Do you have any advice regarding obtaining medical travel insurance during this period of time?
It would be possible but a fair bit trickier. You’d need all of your usual wits about you when it comes to travelling in any place where you don’t speak the language. And if at any point you really aren’t able to understand what’s going on, there’s usually an English-speaking staff member somewhere that they can track down. Having a friend you can contact on WeChat who can help you out will also be very useful.
Thanks so much for writing this, Ricky! My mom is planning to go back to China to visit my grandparents who are in the hospital as well, so I forwarded this to her and she found it very helpful in helping her prepare and understand what to expect. I hope your grandfather is doing better and that you get to see him soon in Beijing.
My pleasure Chris, and thanks for the good wishes.
