China: €336 From Rome With China Southern, Incl. Luggage

China Southern is currently offering very cheap flights from Rome to 11 Chinese destinations. What makes this price even better, is the fact that one piece of luggage is included. Availability is decent in November and December.

We found flights to the following Chinese destinations:

• Shanghai: €336
• Wenzhou: €336
• Beijing: €455
• Shenyang: €447
• Dalian: €447
• Harbin: €447
• Tianjin: €447
• Changchun: €460
• Zhengzhou: €461
• Changzhi: €487
• Wuhan: €456

We’ve included quite a lot of cities in this deal, that have a roughly €100 more expensive price because, for flights with luggage, they still represent very good deals.

All flights are operated by China Southern. You would either fly to Wuhan or Guangzhou and from there continue to your final destination.

Search & Book

This deal is valid until December 18, 2019. These prices are not available from July 22nd to August 14th, and from October 5th to October 12th. The trip length has to be from 6 days (or one Sunday) to 3 months long.

You can use Google Flights (instructions) to search for availability. Afterward, we recommend booking over via our Travel Dealz flight search . As the tickets include one piece of luggage, there shouldn’t be anything to worry about, and they do offer the cheapest prices.

Miles

China Southern is no longer part of the SkyTeam alliance (since January), but, according to wheretocredit, some SkyTeam mileage programs seem to still give you miles on their flights. Nevertheless, keep in mind that this could change.

This is what you’d get for flying to Shanghai and back (N on the long haul flight, K on the Chinese domestic flight):

Information & Tips for China

China is the most populous and the third largest country in the world, so naturally, there is a lot to see. The most touristically important cities are the capital of China, Beijing and the financial and trade center Shanghai.

Best Time to Travel

Since the country is vast and extends over several climate zones, there is no best travel time for China. China is connected to Europe through numerous direct flights and the travel time is about 11-13 hours. Flights to China can be found for less than 400€ throughout the year, and there are also often excellent Business Class fares.

A general advice is that travel should be avoided during the Chinese national holidays, which span over the first two weeks of October. During these time tourist destinations are overcrowded with Chinese tourists on their domestic vacation.

Visa for China

Most European citizens will need a visa to enter China.

You can apply for a tourist visa at a Visa Application Service Center (CVASC) in your country. There you’ll hand in your visa application personally and can pick it up again after a few days. There is no faster and cheaper way.

Alternatively, you can apply for a visa by mail. The processing time will be up to two weeks, and you’ll have to pay for extra for shipping.

There are also so-called Visa services available that sometimes offer a faster (and maybe even cheaper) way to get your Visa. Check local sites to find out more.
