This is a really nice offer: Hainan Airlines is selling discounted tickets for flights from Paris to Chongqing. Round-trips from France to China with the 5-star-carrier are available at prices starting at only €331.
Not only are the connections offered by the Chinese carrier non-stop. They also include one piece of checked luggage in addition to a carry-on bag and one personal item.
Flight time to China will be around 10 hours, and the trip will take almost two hours longer on your way back. Hainan Airlines will operate a Boeing 787 “Dreamliner” on this route.
Search & Book
The fare rules don’t state how long this deal will be available. But reasonable offers like this one usually don’t last very long anyway. There are several restrictions as to the travel period. But you will find the cheap flights only until the end of September. From there on, prices will go up by at least €100 per return-flight.
There are no minimum stay requirements, but you could stay for up to 6 months if you like. Again, this is just a theoretical value since you will have to return in September to get the super low fare that we’re promoting here.
Google Flights (instructions) will show you available connections. But the prices displayed will be higher. So choose your dates and then use our Travel Dealz flight search to get lower prices when booking via an OTA.
All tickets for the deal will be issued in booking class Q. Since Hainan Airlines is not a member of any airline alliance, earning possibilities for miles are limited:
- 3,166 Miles on Alaska Mileage Plan
- 3,166 Award Miles on Etihad Guest
Information & Tips for Chongqing
Thanks to a bit of trickery of the Chinese government, Chongqing is the world's largest city in population as well as size. Officially counting more than 30 million inhabitants, this huge number was artificially inflated by redefining Chongqing's city limits. The city now contains a space roughly the size of Austria. Still, the metropolis in the midst of a mountain range at the banks of the famous Yangzi River is one of China's most important industrial and economical hotspots. As a result, it shares a special administrative status with only Beijing, Shanghai & Tianjin.
Best Time to Visit
Chongqing is part of the subtropical climate zone. This results in hot, humid summers and mild winters, in which temperatures rarely drop below 0 degrees. March and April are great times to visit the city, just before a conflux of heat and daily monsoons make it an unpleasant place to visit.
From the airport to the city
Chongqing Jiangbei Int'l airport is extremely well connected to the city center. Two subway lines (taking about 50 minutes, costing approx. 1€) and a shuttle bus (60 minutes, 2€) take you to downtown Chongqing all day long. Taxi drivers will charge you 7-10€ for the 50-60 minute long ride down to the Yangzi River.
