      Hi. Do you mean you'll just not show up for the joining flight? 🤔
      If someone from the airline sees this video teaching people to do this, they might ban you from flying with them again.😅

      Well the US congress just passed another 1.6 billion dollars budget dedicated to China bashing and anti China propaganda, so what do you expect?

    • @YCHTT
      @YCHTT 2 місяці тому

      It's beyond "negativity" but well prepared (by PR companies & talking heads as well as those so-called Think Tanks) US led West anti-China propaganda with billions of budget to spend for the purpose of disinform people who consume western media. And it's beyond just media propaganda but a system that serves it.

    My tip for jetlag going east is to stay awake on the plane - arrive am and plough through till as close to normal bedtime as you can manage.... by that time you are so knackered you will sleep - then get up at normal time. Boom! It's always worked for me.

    Harriet and I have traveled all over China. Shanghai being one of the largest financial centers in the world. We enjoyed our time at Jade Buddha Temple , Yu Garden and The Bund.
    Hope you got to visit there. If you are into Disney . Disneyland is there. Not as popular as the other Disney's around the world. There are many other things to do. I'm sure you found them.

    One way I always use to overcome the time difference is that follow the local time no matter how exhausted you are, follow the local time to sleep and wake up, then your biological clock will be coordinate with the local time the next day. I have traveled to a lot of countries and it always work.If you continue to follow the time of your home,especially across several time zones,then the adjustment will be longer and more painful.

    The number of people at the train station on October 1st is second only to the Spring Festival, and the number of people in the scenic area is the highest of the year, because China is on holiday from October 1st to October 7th, and hundreds of millions of people may travel out for sightseeing. At this time, it is difficult to buy train tickets and accommodation prices are higher than usual.

    You guys seem to be quite clever and even know how to game the booking system of air tickets. The travel in China is not that difficult as long as you know some basic Mandarin. I have seen many western UA-camrs eat a lot of carbs shown in their videos during the Chinese trips. Actually you have a lot of choices for vegetables too and having a balanced diet is in fact easier and way more affordable than in the US Uk or other European countries.

    yeah, it's normal, I fly often, to go to a place direct will cost much more to fly other place via this place lol you can give up the onward journey and enjoy Shanghai only, as long as you have visa. But be careful, it's only working for one way ticket, not for return ticket. if you didn't take the full first leg, your second leg will be cancelled. you should show the ticket you bought to leave China as well, that can be separately booked. China changed a lot, enjoy ;)

    It is called YIELD MANAGEMENT: the more people buy tickets to Shanghai, the more they will charge. The less people go to Beijing, the less they will charge. Actual costs do not matter anyway, they are probably in no relation to what you fly nowadays... Enjoy China! (use trains btw, they are MUCH better than flying!)

    oh lordy, i'd only skiplag on an airline i didn't care about flying in again and there are many countries i wouldn't do it in, china being one of them! glad you're okay! as for the flight price - airlines do this to to get bums on seats on their planes from places they wouldn't otherwise - the cheap ticket entices people flying from london (lots of people, high income) to travel with china eastern to beijing via shanghai, rather than take a more expensive but direct flight with a competitor.
    now, idk when you flew, and china eastern now have a direct flight from london to beijing (as of june), but even if it was after that, i'd guess those indirect routes had been in the books for a while, and the cheaper price still means that china eastern gets ++ passenger count against their competitors.
    so, nothing to do with sanctions, like someone else suggested...*as if" china of all places is having a problem with sourcing parts for their planes or materials to make them (!!!)

    I'm Chinese, and in China we usually don't say hello to strangers unless I need help from strangers for something. In addition, many Chinese people have the habit of spitting outdoors, but they are not allowed to spit indoors. Many people have this habit, but it is not recommended.

    I am surprise they didn't send your baggage to Beijing which is normally the case for connecting flights. I think this could be due to the fact that your connecting flight is in a different airport. So don't try this hack it can be risky.
