Xi'an to Jiuzhaigou
I am led to believe that one can travel from Xi'an direct to Jiuzhaigou
(Sichuan). I've searched various web sites to no avail, trying to find a flight, carrier, even on different days of the week. Are schedules available as far out as mid-June? I see plenty of trips between Chengdu and Jiuzhaigou on Air China but none from Xi'an. Thanks. rg |

Thanks. rg What many who post here seem to be unable to get hold of is that a great deal of Chinese domestic flying does not show up on international air ticketing systems and so not on the websites that act as portals to those or use them as databases. Having said that it's quite possible that there are no winter flights because Jiuzhaigou is essentially a resort destination. The China Eastern flight only runs May to October according to my timetable, but it's not so clear on whether one of the China Sichuan flights is year-round. However with a quick look at the China Sichuan domestic site I couldn't find flights. Try for yourself: http://www.scal.com.cn Summer schedule should be something like: China Eastern at 0800 China Sichuan at 2015 and 2145 all daily, starting perhaps from May Peter N-H http://www.datasinica.com |

However with a quick look at the China Sichuan domestic site I couldn't find flights. Try for yourself: Indeed, I did a bit googling before posing my question, which included a search of the Sichuan Airline web site. According to information I researched, no less than five airlines fly to Jiuzhaigou, including: Air China (Chengdu, Chongqing) China Eastern Airlines (Chengdu, Kunming) China Southern Airlines (Chengdu) Hainan Airlines (Chengdu) Sichuan Airlines (Chengdu, Chongqing, Xi'an) It appears from the above that only Sichuan Airlines flies to Jiuzhaigou direct from Xi'an, perhaps beginning in May and running into the October time period. I am quite aware of the seasonality of domestic flight in China. It would be nice to know when to start looking for tickets in consideration of the Olympics. Downloading timetables is still a challenge at some of these sites. I for one do not plan on being in China after July. rg |

It appears from the above that only Sichuan Airlines flies to Jiuzhaigou direct from Xi'an, perhaps beginning in May and running into the October time period. According to the printed timetable (March to October 2007) the China Eastern flight is also direct, and both that and one of the Sichuan Airlines flights is seasonal, while the other is year-round. If you're willing to go via Chengdu, the timetable shows 22 flights a day only three of which are shown as seasonal. It would be nice to know when to start looking for tickets in consideration of the Olympics. It's hard to imagine much effect on the Xi'an to Jiuzhai route, and certainly none as early as July. I for one do not plan on being in China after July. Amen to that. Peter N-H http://www.datasinica.com |

You may want to look at elong.com. I checked 21 days of the last full week in January, April, and June and got a "System Error" message for each query. I believe it must be too early to get a fare. Air China fares are fairly easy to find and available but not for this route if they indeed fly XIY JZH. Amadeus.net generally shows schedules other search engines will not show but none there either. The same goes for the airline web sites, including Air China. Guess we'll wait a bit. rg |
