Direct answer
Yes. Many China tours are land-only, meaning international flights are not included. You can book your own flights and arrange airport transfers, hotels, guides and domestic transport separately.
Before you act on this answer
- ✓Check time-sensitive details shortly before travel.
- ✓Match general guidance to your dates, route and personal needs.
What to know
- ●Land-only planning gives more control over airline, routing and miles redemption.
- ●Share flight details as soon as available so arrival and departure transfers match.
- ●Domestic flights or trains inside China may still be included in the itinerary quote.
