Skyteam member China Airlines is offering cheap tickets to the U.S. overseas territory Guam. Starting at €563, the Taiwanese carrier connects Amsterdam to Guam via its hub in Taipei. This fare includes two pieces of checked luggage und China Airlines’ great board service.
While this is a terrific fare for flights to a rather remote part of the planet, there is a major catch for frequent travelers: Some tickets won’t get you any award miles.
China Airlines operates a brand new Airbus A350 between Amsterdam and Taipei. A Boeing 737 will carry you onward, across the Pacific Ocean, to the exotic island destination.
Search & Book
The fare rules don’t give an indication as to how long this deal could be available. As of now there is already rather limited availability. You’ll be able to find cheap connections with departure in February 2020. Other dates are more expensive.
The official seasonal restrictions are:
- November 1st through December 10th, 2019
- February 1st through February 29th, 2020
- November 1st through December 10th, 2020
Your stay can’t exceed one month if you want to book this fare. The minimum stay requirements of 4 days shouldn’t be a big challenge for most travelers.
Google Flights (instructions) will help you find the cheapest connections from Amsterdam to Guam. Once you know when you want to visit the island that’s part of Micronesia, you can either book directly through the carrier’s website or use our Travel Dealz flight search to compare prices from OTAs.
Mileage
China Airlines issues tickets in different booking classes. While L and X, unfortunately won’t get you any miles on one of the SkyTeam frequent flyer programs, booking class N will earn you up to 50%.
Destination
Guam is a U.S. overseas territory. Therefore, you need to apply for ESTA before arriving. Despite being multiple thousands of miles away from the U.S. mainland, you will see some very familiar infrastructure.
Information & Tips for USA
The United States offers a wide range of tourist sights, from national parks like Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon to cities such as New York, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C. The currency is the U.S. dollar (USD), and card payments are widely accepted. Prices vary by region but can be high in major cities, especially for accommodation and dining. Weather differs greatly across the country—winters can be harsh in the north, while the south often stays mild; summers are generally hot and humid in many areas.
The U.S. transport infrastructure is highly car-dependent, especially outside major cities. Urban centres like New York, Chicago, and San Francisco have functional public transit, but many other cities have limited options. Between cities, domestic flights are common for long distances, while intercity buses and Amtrak trains cover some routes, though often with slower speeds and less frequency compared to other countries. Without a car, getting around can be inconvenient in many parts of the country.
