    China southern actually offers 2 x 23kg checked in luggage for flights to mainland china leaving from Australia. 46 kg is awesome for economy.

      • maxdba on 23/01/2017 - 19:09

        Thanks for the link, how did you get to that view? I never seems to have any luck getting to that view via iwantthatflight.

        Also, it seems there's nothing for China Southern from MEL to CAN or PEK? The link you listed above only have cheap fares for Air Asia.

          the MELPEK bit, is the origin and destination codes respectively and the CZ bit at the end is the filter for airlines using their code, comma separated.

          e.g. http://iwantthatflight.com.au/x2SYDHKG-Flights-from-Melbourn…
          would give you Sydney to HK with Qantas and Cathay only. The "Flights-from-Melbourne-to-Beijing" bit is irrelevant

          The one in the post itself doesn't have the CZ filter on it because it's already at the top.

        • glassyan on 23/01/2017 - 17:13

          Thank you, makes a lot of sense now.

          Just one last question, did you find any cheap fares from MEL-PEK via China Southern? I saw you amended the subject to include MEL but your screenshot for MEL only shows the SYD flight.

        Getting a visa for China is a fair bit of effort. Every other country I have travelled to it is free, pay on arrival, or just do it online. Also USA one is good for two years so no comparison. Also cheaper… .

          +2

          Getting a visa for Australia in China take much more efforts. You have to freeze certain amount of money in your bank account as a proof that you are financially capable to travel. Plus you need a letter from your employer as a proof that you have a job in China.

        • Third_Gear on 23/01/2017 - 20:20

          @maxdba: The process for Chinese to travel to Australia is because of the bureaucracy of China and not Australia. If China made it easier for everyone to visit them all other countries would follow suit. Reciprocal and all that jazz… I figured with the FTA agreement in place now there would have been some changes to tourism for both countries but that hasn't taken happened. Thankfully when I do go to Shanghai for business I can now just take advantage of the 144hr visa free period as I always make another stop when I fly overseas.

          @Third_Gear: That's not correct. The visa application documents for Chinese tourist are submitted to Australian consulate and reviewed by Australian visa officer, not the Chinese government. The Australian government want to make sure that the traveler from developing countries like China does not have the intention to immigrate illegally.

          @Third_Gear: If you travel to Russia this is what you need to pay. "The actual visa processing fee: AUD$150 for a tourist single entry visa (processed within 10 business days) or AUD$300 for an expedited Visa (processed in 2 business days). You must also add the cost of the letter of invitation or visa support, which is also required.May 12, 2016" The main reason may be, I presume, because China and Russia are communist countries. Do you also aware that getting a mobile phone SIM card in China and Russia is even harder than a Visa? I cannot buy a local mobile SIM card in China with my Oz passport.

        • noramando on 24/01/2017 - 09:28

          @noramando: Don't know about Russia but getting a mobile phone in China is as simple as buying a movie ticket. You can easily get SIM card from the Carrier's store (eg. China mobile, which is basically everywhere) using your passport. You can also buy pre-paid sim card before you leave Australia. Just google it.

        • noramando on 24/01/2017 - 10:03

          I had to rush home to Canada and my Canadian passport was long expired but my Australian was all good. As I was in transit from LA to Chicago on the way to Toronto and I had to go through passport control and get a visa. Normally if you are Canadian they just wave you through but USA does not recognise dual passports. I was pulled aside and told to declare which passport I was coming into USA on. If I said Canada I would have been sent back to Australia. Go figure. So I declared AU and had to apply for the ESTA on the spot via my mobile. 5 mins later I was approved and told to keep a valid ESTA when ever travelling to USA. Usually I am on top of this stuff but I had to leave in a hurry. When I rocked up to Canada I just showed my expired passport and got a wave and a smile in.

      Here is a possible workaround,

      Step 1, buy a fully refundable ticket out of Guangzhou or shenzhen to a third country, departing within 144 hours of your plane's arrival.

      Step 2, board the flight to shenzhen.

      Step 3,when you arrive at shenzhen, tell Chinese immigration that you want to utilise the 144 hour visa free policy and show them the ticket to the third country.

      Step 4,after you go through the immigration, cancel the ticket to the third country, and board the flight to Beijing.

      Step 5, be an Australian made human air purifier for a few days and board your flight back. Make sure you leave within 6 days of your arrival into China.

      Step 6, throw a party to celebrate that you pulled off a grand and sophisticated scheme to prevent the Chinese government from ripping you off.

      I would expect there'll be deals to China like this more often than not in the next two year. Getting a two year visa for multiple entries, which would cost you $200 something, then you can jump on a deal like this next time without worrying about visa. China is big and different in a lot of ways. It'll be worth it.

      • maxdba on 24/01/2017 - 10:18

        China has been offering 10 year tourist and business visas to US Citizens since 2015, and there is now a 10-year Australia travel visa for Chinese visitor in trial, which costs $1000 by the way. It would not be long before the Chinese goverment also offer Australian 10 year visa for multiple entries I guess.
