Sichuan Airlines has been operating out of China for 30+ years, and has a great name for its frequent flyer program - the Golden Panda.

Hainan Airlines is the largest civilian-run air transport company and the fourth-largest airline in terms of fleet size in the People's Republic of China, and tenth-largest airline in Asia in terms of passengers carried.

Hainan Airlines is part of a very privileged club of which only a handful of carriers belong to. In February 2016 only Qatar Airways, Singapore Airlines, All Nippon Airways, Cathay Pacific, Garuda Indonesia and Hainan Airlines were certified five-star airlines, awarded by Skytrax, the global airline quality program.

A deal like this doesn't come along often, getting to China return for under $400.

From: SYD
Destinations: Beijing/Guangzhou
Airlines: Sichuan/Hainan Airlines

    Hainan Airlines is the largest civilian-run air transport company, the fourth-largest airline in terms of fleet size in the People's Republic of China, and tenth-largest airline in Asia in terms of passengers carried.

    I’m a bit confused around the first statement.

    • Associatedbeatthatflight @ Beat That Flight on 04/11/2018 - 12:48

      To be fair, I had to look it up too. Civilian-run enterprise is a type of company or enterprise to describe a non-state-owned enterprise (state-owned enterprise including companies owned by the state, the central and regional government) in the People's Republic of China.

      • enveloped on 04/11/2018 - 23:44

        The backdrop is that an enterprise is state-owned by default.

    • dyziplen on 04/11/2018 - 12:57

      Instead of directly owned by the Chinese government, its indirectly owned by the Chinese government.

      Chinese companies do not get big unless CCP allows it.

        Yeah, the bigger they are the stronger the ties.

          Same is true of big Western companies

          • Enjj0y on 04/11/2018 - 14:21

            @[Deactivated]: Bro, don't take it personally. Sometimes facts are sharp.

            I met lots of Chinese who moved here permanently, they don't want their children to live in China permanently, just because of state…

            • [Deactivated] on 04/11/2018 - 15:23

              @Enjj0y: No, I don't. I'm stating a fact.

            @[Deactivated]: Nope.

            CCP decides which companies can get big.

            In the West. Big companies decides which politian they buy.

        That's how some Western governments make you believe so that they can kick out any Chinese companies they want.

        In some countries,rich controls government then control the companies. In others, rich control s companies then controls government. Don't be fooled. Aupost, Telstra,NBN Co. Qantas,Airbus, Boeing. In fact, tell me which airline company isn't backed by government.

  • TheRealCher on 04/11/2018 - 13:21

    Does anyone know where the coldest place I could get to on this deal would be, say in late February?

      If you can find a cheap flight from Beijing to Yakutsk, that'd certainly do it…

        Thanks. I'll look it up. Hoping to avoid new year but still be around somewhere interesting and cold :) QLD is not the place to be for that time of year 😊

          If you're a bit mad, there's also a race around the frozen Lake Baikal during winter. I've been during summer, but it looks … insane: https://www.theadventurists.com/ice-run/

          • TheRealCher on 04/11/2018 - 14:36

            @beatthatflight: I swam in the ice off northern Japan this year.
            But unfortunately I'd need a licence, cycling ability and an amazing travel insurance provider to do that race. Sounds breathtaking though!!!

      Beijing still fairly cold then

      Beijing will be -10'C - 0'C over winter.

      Try Harbin, which is not the coldest city in China, but pretty much the coldest big city you could possibly get a cheap flight to.

      • nix1016 on 05/11/2018 - 16:31

        Go Harbin and see the ice festival, pretty amazing stuff.

        • TheOneWhoGotAway on 07/11/2018 - 08:22

          Always have wanted to go, have you been there yourself?

          Mostly stay in Shanghai so Harbin always seems a bit far away plus I've never been there during spring festival.

          • nix1016 on 07/11/2018 - 09:13

            @TheOneWhoGotAway: I haven't unfortunately, my friend went last year and said it was amazing. I would love to go one day.

        • spaij on 13/11/2018 - 09:59

          Yes. Would highly recommend!

          There's ice structures/building that they make using ice bricks, best to see this at night as they're lit up. Then there's the snow sculptures, which are carved from hard, compacted snow - see this during the day.

    hainan airlines are actually pretty good. flew them before. solid.

    • Associatedbeatthatflight @ Beat That Flight on 04/11/2018 - 13:41

      Yeah was looking into them before I posted, and wow, really impressed.

    • TheOneWhoGotAway on 07/11/2018 - 08:24

      Nice, can you compare them with Qantas or China Eastern or other similar airlines? The flight to Beijing must be really long so you'd want to be comfortable 😬

  • NevilleW on 04/11/2018 - 13:57

    Anyone able to comment on a comparison of Hainan vs China Southern? Need to travel in late Feb 2018 & searching for the best direct fare.

      Hainan is pretty good

    • TheOneWhoGotAway on 07/11/2018 - 08:25

      Also Intrested to know for future. And luck from other sources?

    I strongly recommend to google sudden death of the CEO of this airline a few months ago in France. It could be a Jason Bourne sequel .

      Put in a bit imagination, anything can be much more thrilling than how it is, I guess. Like G. W. Bush might be secret brother of Ben Laden etc.

    Good price to Guangzhou but 19 hrs total time to get there from Sydney, no thanks.

        Dont think they fly direct, have been searching for a number of dates and cannot find any direct.

    I flew them last year to Qingdao. It's a full service airline. The seats were comfortable and food was good. There was actually more leg room thanks Qantas planes that go to LA. Thinking about going again next year.
