Imperial Tours does not provide international air
travel and provides these flight schedules to assist your planning.
Since flight timetables frequently change at short notice, please
double-check all information before making a booking.
When arranging your flights, keep in mind that you
will usually arrive in China on the day after you depart from your
home city, as you will cross the International Date Line. In the
case of Asiana and some of the Dragonair flights which leave around
midnight, you will arrive in China on the third day.
Click on a city for information about the major carriers operating there. For details of flights connecting these major hubs to your local airport, please contact your travel agent.
