Returning to Africa

Africa has had many circuit breakers recently, including Ethiopian Airlines and Sichuan Airlines, but The way back to China in transit is still open.

For example, if you are connecting to Paris, Cameroon, Guinea, Morocco, Nigeria, Kenya, Mauritania, Benin, C?te d'Ivoire, Niger, Togo, and Ethiopia all have flights to Paris. You can pick up AF202 and open a connection. Journey ticket!

The advantages of issuing a combined ticket are: ① You can check in your luggage and go directly to the final destination, without having to check it in again at the transit place; ② In case the first leg fails, you can check in the two legs You can return together.

However, Air France’s AF202

may be forced to take a two-week break in January. If you leave in February, you can still consider it.

The second good news is that two new routes of Air China and Sichuan Airlines were approved. The Civil Aviation Administration of China approved Air China’s Beijing/Chengdu-Johannesburg (twice weekly) route and Sichuan Airlines’ Chongqing-Cairo ( One flight per week) route.

Europe and return home

The third is Russia. It was previously said that charter flights will generally be grounded. Many friends have sent us private messages to ask us.

Finally, there is a return plan that is about to succeed: Ireland-Paris-Guangzhou AF1817+CZ348.

Returning to Asia

Japan has officially closed the country, and even Chinese business visas cannot be entered. It is suspended until at least February 7, but routes are still open.

The above is the good news about my recent return to China! When everyone sees cross-double negative tests, green code disapproval and flight circuit breaker, it is inevitable that they are a little discouraged. In fact, while the country is guarding the country, it is also We will try our best to take our compatriots home! What are the pitfalls of returning to Africa from different countries' policies

1. Egypt - "cross-double testing", taking photos on site, and not issuing green codes in transit

(1) Passengers traveling from Egypt to China must go to a testing institution recognized by the Embassy in Egypt to take a double test of nucleic acid and IgM antibodies (venous sampling) within 48 hours before boarding the flight, that is, take 4 tests, and all tests will be negative. Only by adding a photo of yourself taking samples on site can you apply for a green code;

(2) In addition, the Embassy in Egypt announced as early as November that in principle, it will no longer accept passengers originating from Egypt and transiting to third countries. Green code issued.

After today's circuit breaker, some compatriots asked "how to transfer back to China", Xiaole emphasized again to prevent compatriots from being defrauded of their hard-earned money by scammers using fake plans;

2. South Africa - "Cross Double Testing" , on-site photography, application time, no green code will be issued in transit

(1) The first two points are similar to the embassy and consulate in Egypt, and the third point is that all nucleic acid code applications must be made at 4 p.m. on the day of flight departure. Submitted before;

(2) Similarly, the embassy in South Africa will not issue green codes to passengers originating from South Africa and transiting to third countries to go to China. Moreover, the epidemic in South Africa is serious now, and many countries and South Africa Is the flight suspended?

3. Kenya - you must have a travel code before leaving the country

(1) The travel code is a "green code" issued by the Ministry of Health of Kenya. All plans are from Kenya. Outbound passengers are required to undergo a nucleic acid test before leaving the country, and then apply for a "travel code" on the trustedtravel.panabios.org website, otherwise they will not be able to leave the country;

4. Nigeria - "2+1 cross-testing" ”, no green code will be issued after 2 transfers, two non-ones and one no

(1) The Chinese Embassy in Nigeria promotes the completion of 2 PCRs and 1 IgM cross-testing in two different designated testing institutions , and when flying back to China from Lagos, you must choose 54GENE to do a nucleic acid test, and then choose another designated institution to do double testing.

(2) In addition, a green code can be issued for one transit in a third country, but no green code will be issued for two transits (third country-fourth country-China);

(3 ) provides provisions for people and reasons for emergency return to China: those who are ill and cannot be treated locally, are unemployed and helpless, are stranded after the completion of a project, return to China to take exams, and other people who really need to go to China, must truthfully fill out the "Emergency Return Reason Form" and provide a strong The supporting materials are uploaded to the mini program and await review;

There are also some countries, such as Equatorial Guinea, which still require two PCR tests due to imperfect conditions for dual testing. Everyone must first understand the policies of the country of origin before applying for a green code. Pitfalls in transit destinations

Most African countries do not have direct flights to China, so compatriots are forced to transit. At this time, the first thing to choose is the transit destination. What pitfalls are there in transit places? The first is the trouble of double inspection, and the second is flight stability. Xiaole also named 2 countries here:

1. Egypt: cross double inspection, many circuit breakers, No refunds!

Firstly, cross-checking is required when transiting in Egypt. Secondly, MS958 has just blown, MS953 has blown for 4 weeks since January 11, and Sichuan Airlines’ 3U has also blown. It is not recommended to transit through Egypt.

2. Rwanda: Few double inspection agencies and few flights

WB9500 is a direct flight from Rwanda Air, from Kigali to Guangzhou, with one flight every Sunday. The problem is that there is only one dual-testing center in Rwanda (Rwanda Biomedical Center), and the testing efficiency is low. Test reports may not be issued in time, and there is a possibility of detention. Once the WB9500 is blown, apart from waiting for an extension, it will basically be called out every day and the earth will not work. Pitfalls of airlines

1. Turkish Airlines: Recently shut down, very expensive!

(1) Some people want to fly to Turkey to return home. Xiao Le has introduced it before, but now the situation has changed. There are changes: First of all, the only remaining TK072 in Turkey has just melted down and will be suspended for two weeks starting from January 18th;

(2) If you want to avoid the meltdown date, it is not impossible, Turkey’s testing center At the airport (non-international transit area), it is not difficult to apply for an entry electronic visa, but the recent seat prices of Turkish Airlines are really expensive! Like the TK681+TK072 introduced by Xiaole (

Khartoum-Istanbul-Guangzhou ) Even in the economy class in early February, it was well over 3K! In addition, if you voluntarily (non-force majeure factors) refund or change the ticket, you will be charged a refund and change fee of 1.5K US dollars, which is less than 10,000 US dollars. No more! Of course, compatriots who are not short of money can indeed go this way.

2. China Southern Airlines, Sichuan Airlines, China Eastern Airlines, etc.: do not accept passengers departing from certain countries in Africa;

(1) In fact, it is very convenient to fly from Africa to Paris for transfer. Once you come to Africa and Paris There are many flights between the airports, and secondly, you can get tested in the international transit area. Thirdly, there are also many flights back to Paris, unlike other European airports that restrict airlines. But if you think you can return home without restrictions on airlines, you are too naive! Because the airlines themselves have restrictions!

(2) China Southern Airlines: does not fly to Ghana, Guinea, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Senegal, Cameroon Passengers departing from , Cote d'Ivoire, Nigeria, Egypt, and South Africa should not consider CZ348.

(3) China Eastern Airlines and Shanghai Airlines: Suspension of carrying passengers originating from Africa and transiting through third countries, no need to worry about MU570;
