China domestic flights: choose an official booking channel, then confirm payment
Airline terms, card acceptance and change fees remain live.
The Ministry of Commerce’s English guide says foreign travelers can book domestic flights on an airline’s official website, app or WeChat mini program, or through a ticketing platform. It describes payment routes including Alipay, Weixin Pay and UnionPay cards, with acceptance depending on the provider and channel. Confirm the airline’s current terms before paying.
A clear next step
- Start with the airline’s official channel or a current ticketing platform.
- Check the payment methods shown for your exact itinerary.
- Read the current airline or platform change and refund conditions before booking.
