Summary of Policy Adjustment Information of Return Air Tickets in February

Although February has just passed a week, there have been many adjustments in international flights this week. If you are going to return to China in the near future, you must understand the adjustment of the following air ticket policy to avoid unpleasant things when you return to China.

Frankfurt bus new regulations released (good news

On February 5th, Frankfurt Airport announced the new transfer regulations, but this announcement was a bit "quiet".

This new regulation has greatly changed the previous transit restrictions, which is bad news for some compatriots, but good news for more compatriots!

It turns out that non-Schengen countries only allow transit in Sao Paulo, Buenos Aires, Luanda and the United States, but now Brazil does not allow transit! Let's summarize it for everyone:

1. The testing center of Frankfurt Airport Medical Center provides IgM testing for passengers flying to China. (working days 1 10 euros, weekends 123 euros.

2. Centogenesquere provides PCR detection for passengers flying to China. (148 Euro

3. The TransitAreaNon-Schengen Testing Center located in Hall Z provides PCR+IgM testing for passengers flying to China. (PCR 179 Euro, IgM 129 Euro on weekdays and 149 Euro on weekends.

Passengers from Brazil, South Africa, Britain, Ireland and Portugal are not allowed to transfer to China in Frankfurt.

5. Book a connecting flight for at least 8 hours.

6. Transfer inspection must be made by appointment.

7. When connecting in Frankfurt, you must provide the place of origin (usually the first green code!

8. All itineraries must issue joint tickets, and the flight must be one of LH720, LH728 and LH780. The inspection center does not provide double inspection for passengers/airlines with code * * *!

Here are some examples of the turnaround:

Back from Switzerland: Zurich-Frankfurt-Shanghai Pudong LH1187+LH 728;

Back from Turkey: Istanbul-Frankfurt-Nanjing LH 1305+LH780

From Ukraine: Kiev-Frankfurt-Shanghai Pudong LH 1493+LH728

Back from Belgium: Brussels-Frankfurt-Shanghai Pudong LH 1005+LH728

Back from Greece: Athens-Frankfurt-Shanghai Pudong LH 1285+LH728

In addition, Lufthansa LH728 will have to rest for 2 weeks from February 8 before going to work. Remember to avoid the fuse period.

The transit trip is complicated, so I suggest you ask someone who knows how to do it before you go!

Air Canada resumes Toronto-Shanghai Pudong route (good news

On February 5th, Air Canada officially announced that from February13rd, the Toronto-Shanghai route was officially resumed!

AC027 Toronto-Shanghai Pudong 23:55-06:40+2

AC028 Shanghai Pudong-Toronto 09:55- 13:00.

This is a direct flight, but it will stop at Incheon Airport in Seoul. At the same time, Air Canada also announced the flight schedule from February to March:

From February 13 to March 8, this round-trip flight will fly back from Canada on Saturday and Shanghai on Monday.

From March 14 to March 22, the flight time of AC027 was changed to Sunday, and the direct flight time of AC028 remained unchanged, still on Monday.

Great changes have taken place in Amsterdam, the Netherlands (bad news

Amsterdam has always been a popular transit point in Europe, but it has gradually cooled down since the Netherlands suspended most countries in South America and South Africa and required all transit passengers to provide green origin codes.

Many compatriots returning from African and European countries still choose Amsterdam. After all, the flights here are stable and there are few fuses.

However, the transfer rules in Amsterdam changed a lot last week, which made it impossible for many compatriots returning home to board the plane!

It turned out that in early February, the Dutch government introduced new regulations. Before 9 February, all passengers flying to the Netherlands from high-risk countries and regions should not only carry PCR certificates, but also show negative rapid test certificates no more than 4 hours before boarding the plane! And this "high-risk list" lists almost all the countries in the world that can be listed!

Countries that do not need to provide a 4-hour negative certificate are: Australia, New Zealand, Rwanda, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, and China (including mainland China+Hong Kong and Macao, Iceland, and the Caribbean region of the Kingdom of the Netherlands). (Visually, my compatriots who came back from Rwanda were a little secretly pleased.

Rapid detection refers to antigen or LAMP detection, which proves the signature/seal of the doctor or institution that needs to be tested.

Many compatriots failed to board the plane because they did not have this four-hour quick check. If you remind me before boarding, it will definitely be too late (it takes at least 15-30 minutes to check quickly, but it can be done at many international airports of origin. I suggest you know the opening hours of the airport inspection agency and go to the airport as soon as possible!

Closed-loop management of traffic in Egypt (bad news

1 At the end of the year, three flights from Cairo to China were bombed, which dealt a serious blow to our compatriots who were preparing to return from Africa. So before the first flight go around on February 4th, and then before the last flight go around on February 7th, Sichuan Airlines and Egypt Airlines, the two airlines successively introduced new closed-loop management measures!

1, EgyptAir

① From 2. 1, passengers on China flights must sign a letter of commitment;

② Before take-off, the hotel designated by Egypt Air in Karnak Temple shall be isolated for 3 nights and shall not leave the room without authorization;

③ You must have a valid double negative certificate within 24 hours when staying in the Egyptian isolation hotel!

(4) Cross-check in the isolation hotel, and test by two medical institutions designated by the embassy. The report will be sent directly to the hotel and then distributed to passengers. The country of origin will conduct double inspection. There may be a double inspection before entering the isolation hotel, and there will be a maximum of 3 to 4 double inspections in the isolation hotel. Everyone must leave enough time;

2. Sichuan Airlines

From February 5th, passengers flying from Cairo to Chengdu by Sichuan Airlines 3U8392, whether originating in a third country and transiting through Cairo or originating in Egypt, are required to provide double negative certificates within 24 hours, and check in at the designated isolation hotel three days before the flight takes off! It is easy for the hotel to do double inspection within 48 hours before the plane takes off. Only when it meets the requirements can it board the plane!

(1) Return from Egypt (check at least twice in Egypt, once within 24 hours before check-in and twice in the hotel, regardless of transit or departure;

② The inspection/hotel/catering/transportation expenses are all borne by themselves, totaling 4.5K/ person;

③ Stay in the hotel for 3 nights, so friends who come to Cairo for connecting flight 3U8932 can land the first flight no later than Tuesday 18:00 Cairo time; In view of the need to check in the hotel within 24 hours, it is recommended that compatriots come to Egypt one day (Monday) in advance for double inspection, because it is useless for you to hold the double inspection of the originating country, and Sichuan Airlines will not admit it.

④ Book beds 3 days before arriving at the hotel. If you don't book it, you can't go back with a ticket!

Here, I will refine the main points about Sichuan Airlines' connecting flight back to China:

The time limit for double inspection is shortened to 24 hours.

Unified hotel isolation will be carried out 3 days before departure.

Three meals are provided uniformly, so there is no choice.

Cross-double detection is unified, and it is two door-to-door detection (more convenient than before

Those who do not participate in the quarantine cannot board the plane.

Cairo connecting flight must have the green code of the country of origin! (Very important.

Everyone is in a single room, and the elderly, children, pregnant women, patients and other special circumstances can apply for multiple people to live together, but as long as 1 is positive, all of them cannot board the plane.

People who leave the hotel without permission cannot board the plane.

Although the measures are strict, it is a good thing. After all, it will maximize the possibility that the return flight will not be blown because it is positive.

The new return route is about to open (good news

On the first weekend of February, good news came. The Civil Aviation Administration announced this year's 1 month international airline operating license, including two new routes, namely Luanda = Changsha of Angola Airlines and Auckland/Christchurch = Guangzhou of Air New Zealand. The former is 1 flight per week, and the latter is 5 flights per week!

In the past, Angola always had to go through Frankfurt to return home. If it is a direct flight, it will be much more convenient and beneficial to neighboring countries. A good beginning is half the battle, and then it depends on the arrangement of the airline. I hope they can hurry!

Nepal fuse warning (bad news

Friends who have recently returned from the Middle East or South Asia must be careful! If you plan to transit back to China via Nepal in the near future, I suggest you give up this idea! According to the news of @ Healthy Guangzhou, among the passengers who entered Guangzhou from Nepal by China Southern Airlines CZ6068 on February 2, 7 people have been diagnosed, and the flight will be forced to alternate for 2 weeks! There were cases on this flight from 65438+ 10/0/9. Three more flights and you'll have to rest for four weeks. The flight is in jeopardy!

Dare to predict that after this incident, China Southern Airlines and the Embassy may take action; Especially friends from India and Tajikistan should wake up!

Brazilian compatriots should sign a letter of commitment before returning to China.

On February 5th, the Embassy of China in Brazil issued a notice that starting from Brazil, it is necessary to sign a health protection commitment letter, do double tests and apply for a green code.

In fact, all along, returning from any place of origin requires double testing and applying for a green code. However, because Brazil has no direct flights back to China, and if it flies to Paris, Helsinki and other places, it does not need a green code, so many compatriots "do what they can".

The embassy reissued this notice yesterday, and it is very likely that there will be a series of actions next. So, before you come back from Brazil, you'd better do what the embassy says to avoid complications. Here, I would like to remind that many of our compatriots returning from Brazil transferred to Frankfurt, but yesterday Frankfurt Airport issued a new notice prohibiting them from transferring from Brazil to Frankfurt and returning home. Please remember this!
