    Some interesting reviews https://www.airlinequality.com/airline-reviews/air-china/
    Worth paying more.

    Gosh...this is a surprise!
    Seriously, do you imagine that people who choose the deal are expecting a five star experience?
    A backpacker for instance, who takes the opportunity to take a day trip in Beijing/Shenzen/Chengdu. Do you think they would rather save a couple of hundred pounds in the process?
    We aren't all one person and we can search Google for reviews if needed.
    Have you any actual personal experience?
  • Rich or poor you will probably need a visa to enter and have a look around. May even need one to spend such a long time in transit.
    How much does that add to the price.
    I have never flown Air China but IMO if there is an alternative for around £100 more that's what I would book to Thailand.

    Tis is a good deal for the budget minded traveller. As far as the visa, China operates a free 24 hour transit visa at certain airports, this is available to UK citzens.

    How many seconds would it have taken to check?

    You get up to 144 hours( 6 days), with no need for a visa. So a great opportunity to visit the Pandas....
