Air China’s fleet is instantly recognisable thanks to the bright red phoenix logo on the tail of each aircraft. An important symbol in Chinese culture, the ancient mythological bird signifies luck and happiness. Headquartered in Beijing, Air China is the flag carrier of the People’s Republic of China and one of the country's biggest airlines. Passengers can choose between Economy, Business or First Class when booking Air China tickets. As a member of the global Star Alliance network, Air China flights give travellers access to over 1,000 destinations across almost 200 different countries.

While last-minute Air China sale fares may become available, you’ll generally find it pays to get organised early when booking international flights. Most airlines release tickets around 11 months in advance, and as a rough guide, we’d recommend that you book Air China flights between six and nine months before you plan to fly. When it comes to balancing airfare availability with the best savings, this should give you the best of both worlds!
We know there’s nothing more frustrating than seeing the Air China airfare you've just booked go on sale, so consider adding our Captain’s Pack when booking in-store or our Online Captain’s Pack when booking online for Price Drop Protection options and other benefits.
When flying with Air China in Economy, you can generally bring one carry-on bag (55 cm x 40 cm x 20 cm) weighing up to 5kg and one personal item on board with you.
International Air China tickets normally allow you to bring one checked bag weighing up to 23kg with a maximum linear dimension of 158 cm. The linear dimension of your bag is calculated by adding the height, length and width (including wheels and handles) together.
Baggage allowances may vary depending on your flight itinerary, ticket class and loyalty program status, so it’s important to check what’s included your Air China flight booking. Need to add extra bags? Talk to your Travel Expert before take-off.
