Hong Kong timeline

[ryester]

I see air China has so many flights to Hong Kong why would it be possible to fly from mainland China to Hong Kong, if mainlander cant fly to Hong Kong why they have flights there?

Cathay says Hong Kong airport transit from June 1 excludes mainland flights
Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd said on Saturday that the reopening of transit services for passengers at Hong Kong International Airport from June 1 will not include those traveling to and from mainland China.

I do know that air canada in July will update flights schedule from Beijing or Shanghai more likely Beijing, because Air Canada is on the list of the 95 international airlines that are approved to fly to/from China they just need to apply for approval, but they are only allowed to fly out and in to one major international airport in China for now.

so in theory you could book a air China flight to Hong Kong and then fly cathay.

Ha, I don't imagine that you understand in this way I am not sure if this is a loophole.

 

[Matthewcares]

I don't know this is so stressful, how about fly to Korea from China then to Vancouver, because Air Canada does have flights from seoul to vancouver? if not all we can do is wait.

cathay Pacific has flight in July from Beijing to Hong Kong?

I just called Cathay again, the answer is no. Any flights from mainland China are not allowed to transfer in HK airport.

no, don't do it, too risky through 3rd country. The only option I would consider for transfer is HK and Japan.

yes, it does. But current policy to restrict mainland China has indefinite date so that they say you can book but we don't guarantee to fly...

 

[Matthewcares]

then the only hope is that air canada can get approval to fly into one of china's international airports? or a major Chinese airline fly's out of Beijing to Vancouver some time soon.

The restrict policy takes effect until the end of October. But it could be extended if the epidemic doesn't get better.

I guess there is no way to travel from mainland China to Canada then.

There are ways if you spend RMB of 28000-30000 taking those Chinese airlines.
