问大家
: When will Xiamen Airlines start selling tickets for direct flights to Fuzhou? Flights start on May 6, and it's less than a month away with no tickets available yet. 厦航直飞福州的什么时候开始售票啊！5月6号开始飞，现在不到一个月了还没售票
: Maybe even Xiamen Airlines doesn't know![[笑哭]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_xiaoku@2x.png?v=1)
. This eastward detour route hasn’t been flown before, so coordination might take longer, and pricing seems tricky too ![[捂脸哭]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_wulianku@2x.png?v=1)
. If it were me, I wouldn’t wait and would just book with another airline—after all, the NYC-Fuzhou route involves layovers anyway ![[偷笑]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_touxiao@2x.png?v=1)
. 可能厦航自己也不知道![[笑哭]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_xiaoku@2x.png?v=1)
一直往东转一圈儿这种路线以前没开过，也许协调起来需要更长的时间，而且感觉价格也不好定![[捂脸哭]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_wulianku@2x.png?v=1)
如果是我的话近期走很可能就不等直接选别家了，反正纽约到福州这班实际上都是转机![[偷笑]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_touxiao@2x.png?v=1)
回复 @滴滴答答滴 : Around $1,000 one-way, slightly cheaper in RMB domestically. Prices are fluctuating wildly—either high demand or system tweaks![[捂脸哭]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_wulianku@2x.png?v=1)
. 单程1000刀左右，貌似国内订用人民币便宜一些。不知道订的人多还是系统在继续调试，价格这么短的时间变化就很大了![[捂脸哭]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_wulianku@2x.png?v=1)
: May I ask everyone, can I use a US passport to take a plane or high-speed train in Mainland China? Do I need to buy tickets online in advance or on-site? Thanks! 请问下大家，在国内坐飞机或者高铁用美国护照可以吗？需要提前在网上买票还是现场买？谢谢！
: I always buy my flight and high-speed train tickets on Ctrip. But I also need to register for an official 12306 high-speed train account and enter my ID information. After ticket issuance, I go directly to the train station for security checks, then board and go through manual check pathways. Alternatively, you can buy tickets at the train station, but they have a very unfriendly attitude. 我都是在携程买机票和高铁票。但是我也要注册12306高铁官方账户，有输入证件信息。出票后直接去火车站过安检，上车检票走人工通道。或者你也可以去火车站买票，但是那群人态度很恶劣。
: Before buying tickets, you need to upload your passport, and manual review takes about 2-5 days. High-speed rail tickets need to be snatched up during holidays, so make sure to upload your passport early, as you can only buy tickets after the review is approved. Good luck 🍀. 买票之前要上传护照，人工审核大约2-5天，高铁票遇到节价日是要抢票的，所以护照一定要提早上传，审核通过才能买票的，祝好运🍀。
: What prices were people paying before the pandemic? I remember it being cheap, but strangely, I can't recall exactly. 大家疫情前买的什么价？我印象中很便宜但是居然一点记不起来了
: It felt expensive to pay $800 for a round trip during summer vacation. When my child wasn't in school, off-peak season only cost $300-$400. Now it's $2000 round trip. I can't afford it anymore. [laugh crying]![[tears]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_liulei@2x.png?v=1)
![[tears]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_liulei@2x.png?v=1)
![[tears]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_liulei@2x.png?v=1)
暑假回去来回800刀都觉得好贵![[笑哭]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_xiaoku@2x.png?v=1)
娃还没读书的时候，选的非旺季也就三四百刀。现在来回2000刀![[流泪]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_liulei@2x.png?v=1)

回不起了
: Pre-pandemic, the round trip from New York to Beijing direct was consistently in the $450-$550 range for years. Now, a one-way direct flight doesn't even cover that, and I haven't gone back in years. 疫情前纽约-北京直飞往返，连续几年都是450-550区间，以前的直飞往返现在单程直飞都不够，好几年没回去了
: May I ask everyone, do you need a visa to transit in Taipei? Thanks! 请问大家，在台北转机需要签证吗？谢谢！
回复 @匿名用户 : Ahhh! Really? The airline's official website states that Chinese passports require a travel permit for Taipei layovers on flights from China to the US. Because of this, I ended up buying more expensive tickets![[流汗]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_liuhan@2x.png?v=1)
啊啊啊！真的吗？我看机票官网是这么写的，中国飞美国台北转机中国护照需要通行证，因为这个还买了贵的机票![[流汗]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_liuhan@2x.png?v=1)
: If you have a Chinese passport, try to avoid Taiwan. Without the "two certificates and one note," you might not even be allowed to board the plane. I experienced this firsthand and had to buy new tickets—it was exhausting. 如果你是中国护照，尽量避开台湾，没有两证一注到时飞机都不能坐，我亲身经历一次，还要重新买票，很累
: A round trip from Washington to Beijing during the Spring Festival cost $2000. Will it not go any lower? 华盛顿往返北京春节期间花了2000刀。是不是不会更低了？
回复 @tarocake : It's fine now. Previously, this flight had a layover in California, and passengers couldn't get off the plane, so they had to stay on the plane for 22 hours. Now it seems there's no more layover. 现在没事了、之前这班飞机要在加州经停、而且不能下飞机、所以要在飞机上呆22小时。现在好像没有经停了，
回复 @在下阿汤哥 : I've taken that flight, and it was exhausting. I suggest flying from New York. Last time on that flight almost took my life. Out of all the international flights I've taken, this was the most exhausting. 我做过那班、累死了。我的建议是去纽约飞。我上次坐这班差点把命给它，飞过这么多国际的，就这次最累
: I'd like to ask everyone, which websites do you use to book plane tickets? Official websites? Expedia? Has anyone heard of ly.com? How is it? Thanks! 想请问下大家订机票都在哪个网站上买啊？官网？Expedia？有没有听说过ly.com的？怎么样啊？谢谢！
回复 @晓闻仔 : I only picked the free options, so I picked early and chose a window seat. I'm not sure if other seats require an extra fee! 我选的都是免费那种，要早点选，也选了靠窗的位置，我不知道其他座位要不要另外付钱！
回复 @灵雁 : Does Fly China include seat selection fees in their price? Fly China 的价格是已经包含了选座位的费用吗？
: When will Xiamen Airlines have a direct Chicago to Fuzhou flight? 什么时候厦航能用芝加哥到福州的直飞呀
: Don’t even think about it. Even the old routes still haven’t fully returned, and who knows if there will be any new routes in 8-10 years![[捂脸哭]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_wulianku@2x.png?v=1)
别想了，原来的线路至今也没复航多少，新航线十年八年不知道能不能有![[捂脸哭]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_wulianku@2x.png?v=1)
: There aren’t as many Fuzhou people in Chicago as in New York… 芝加哥福州人没有纽约多啊……
: Which websites do you all use to check airfares? 你们都用哪些网站看机票的呀？
回复 @水墨江南烟雨中 : Isn't this site mainly for domestic flights? Not many people use it to buy international tickets, right? 这个网站都是国内买票的多吧，买国际机票的比较少吧
回复 @晓闻仔 : Why do you need it in English![[捂脸哭]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_wulianku@2x.png?v=1)
? Maybe just check the airline's official site then. 为啥要英文啊![[捂脸哭]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_wulianku@2x.png?v=1)
要么你去看航司的官网呢
: I just want to know when flights from Los Angeles to Shenyang will resume![[捂脸哭]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_wulianku@2x.png?v=1)
我就想知道洛杉矶飞沈阳什么时候恢复![[捂脸哭]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_wulianku@2x.png?v=1)
: Same question. Are there any friends from Shenyang planning to go back in August? Looking for someone to travel with. 同问，有沈阳的小伙伴打算8月份回去的吗？搭个伴
回复 @啦啦Abc : May I ask where you're departing from? Have you booked your ticket? 请问你想从哪里出发呢？订票了吗
: Why no Houston? 为什么没有Houston啊
: Same question for Houston +1 同问休斯顿+1
: Looking forward to direct flights from Houston. 盼着休斯顿直飞

: Before the pandemic, it was less than 800 round trip. 疫情前往返不到800。
: One way!!! Before the pandemic, this was the round-trip price![[捂脸哭]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_wulianku@2x.png?v=1)
单程！！！疫情前这事往返价格![[捂脸哭]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_wulianku@2x.png?v=1)
: Agreed. 同意
: What's up with Chicago? Why is it so hard to get a direct flight there?![[流泪]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_liulei@2x.png?v=1)
芝加哥究竟是怎样啊 搞的直飞这么难吗![[流泪]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_liulei@2x.png?v=1)
: Alas... 哎……
: Why is there still no direct flight to Chicago…![[叹气]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_tanqi@2x.png?v=1)

: Is this flight ticket reliable? 请问这个机票靠谱吗
: The ticket prices have dropped quite a bit, haven't they? I see there are direct flights to Chengdu too. Any recommendations among these airlines for flying back home? The prices are really good. And there are wide-body aircraft available. 票价便宜了不少啊？看还有直飞成都的。这几家回国的 有推荐吗？价格是真不错。还有宽体飞机
: Cheap tickets take days to fly. In that time, you could earn the money back in a day. The main issue is that your back can't handle it. 便宜的票都要飞几天，有那时间一天也赚回来，关键腰受不了
: CA818 non-stop flight, no longer stopping in Los Angeles. CA818直飞，不经停洛杉矶了
: When will the Russia-Ukraine war end? The airspace isn't open, so airfare prices won't drop! It's really so expensive! 俄乌什么时候打完啊！领空不开放机票价钱降不下来啊！真的好贵啊！
: What's there to fight about! World War III is coming! 🙏Peace. You all should play while you can and eat while you can, time is running out. 😂 打完个毛啊！三次世界大战要来了！🙏Peace 你们该玩的玩该吃的吃 时日无多了😂
: In 2019, round-trip flights from Dallas to Beijing during the Spring Festival were $235 including taxes. We'll never see that price again. 🤦 19年，达拉斯春节往返北京 $235含税，再也没有这个价格了🤦
: This was the price before 2019, and such prices are gone forever. 19年之前都是这个价格，这种价格一去不复返
: This cover image is not auspicious. 这封面图片不吉利啊
: Airfare has started to become a bit cheaper. 机票开始便宜了一点
: Why isn't there a Korean version? 为什么没有大韩的
: Really? 真的假的。
: Returning to China is really expensive. Round-trip flights between the US and Japan on budget airlines cost less than $600. For a few days of fun, a domestic round-trip to Osaka is only about 1,000 RMB. Combined, they still don't add up to being as expensive as flying directly back to China. 回國真貴，美國日本往返廉價的都不到600刀的，玩幾天來個大阪國內往返也就1000人民幣，加一塊都沒你直接回國貴那麼多
回复 @匿名用户 : My daughter went back to China to visit the grandmother who raised her since she was little. Grandma came to the U.S. before my daughter was born; later, when my daughter returned to China for elementary school, Grandma took care of her. Now the old lady is over 80 and can't take flights anymore![[偷笑]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_touxiao@2x.png?v=1)
我女儿是回国看从小带她的奶奶，奶奶在她没有出生就来美了；后来她回国读小学也是奶奶带着。现在老太太80多，坐不了飞机了 ![[偷笑]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_touxiao@2x.png?v=1)
: Yes, my daughter flew from San Francisco to Guangzhou for Christmas, with a layover in Japan, and then bought a separate ticket from Guangzhou to Shanghai. The round trip cost over two thousand dollars! 是的，我女儿圣诞节旧金山到广州，还要在日本转机，广州到上海再单独买机票，来回花了两千多刀！
: So cheap![[呲牙]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_ciya@2x.png?v=1)
这么便宜![[呲牙]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_ciya@2x.png?v=1)
: Recently, Cathay Pacific's round-trip tickets to Mainland China are really cheap, around seven to eight hundred. 最近国泰航空回国机票 是真便宜 往返七八百
回复 @匿名用户 : Of course, otherwise it wouldn't be called a layover. 肯定啦 要不然怎么叫转机
回复 @匿名用户 : Off-season discount 淡季便宜
: When do AA's domestic flight tickets go on sale? AA回国票什么时候打折啊？
: The round-trip tickets during the summer vacation only cost around seven to eight hundred. 才买暑假期间的来回才七八百
回复 @ss917 : Oh, it's departing from Los Angeles. Flights from LA are cheaper, but here in New York, it's not that affordable. 原来是洛杉机出发啊，洛杉机是便宜，我在纽约就没有这么便宜了
回复 @匿名用户 : You can buy it anywhere. I bought it on Ctrip, and it's the same on other platforms. I just checked, and it's a bit more expensive than when I bought it a few days ago. 哪里都可以买啊 我携程买的 其他平台也一样 刚看了一下比我前几天买时贵了一点
