Little animals
Little animals refer to the family-fed animals such as dogs, cats and other animals which are for pleasure. .Wild animals, some weird animals or offensive animals do not belong to little animals. Passenger should file an application to carry little animals when reserving seat or purchasing ticket and present quarantine certificate. After getting the agreement of the carrier, the animal should be conveyed.
The animals brought by passenger shall not be conveyed in the cabin unless otherwise agreed by the air company. The conveyance fee for the animals should be charged separately. If the animals' being refused to enter or leave a country leads to some loss, damage, delay, sickness or death, the air company bears no reliability.
Some tips for the passengers to choose fares
Make your trip as early as possible so that it is more possible to buy some discount tickets.
Some discount tickets can not be refunded. Therefore, if a passenger, who has purchased a discount ticket, wants to cancel his/her trip; it is possible that he/she can not claim refund. For some ticket, even the passenger does not claim refund; there will be some limitation to change the flight or the date.
Healthy travel information
Good preparation both physically or mentally will make your trip more pleasant.
During the flying, the air pressure varies according to the height of plane. So the passengers will fell uncomfortable on plane. To balance the pressure, the passenger can frequently swallow, chew the chewing gum or yawn..
During the descent of the flight, the change of the air pressure may unease the baby. Under this circumstance, let the baby hold the feeding-bottle in their mouths to alleviate the discomfort.
A passenger, who needs take prescription drugs on the plane, should take enough for the whole journey. The drugs should put in the pocket of the clothes or carry-on baggage in case of loss. The drugs should be stored in the original packing lest it arises any problem in the safety check. .

• sleep on the plane(except when the plane begins to descend)
• Stretch themselves £¬ take light dishes, drink little wine.
Smoke
It is prohibited to smoke on the aircraft to protect the health of all the passengers.
Why mobile telephone is forbidden on board aircraft?
Mobile phone usage on board aircraft will seriously disturb the communication system of the aircraft and endanger the flying aircraft. Aircraft mainly relies on communication system and operating system, which are correlative. In the whole process of takeoff, flying and landing, the pilot cannot execute commands and fly their own air routes unless they keep connection with ATM towers on the way. Meanwhile, if someone uses a mobile, aircraft's Hertzian waves may be covered, the communication between pilot and ATM tower may be broken off and the instructions will become fitful. Especially for busy communicating when takeoff and landing, the disturbance is more serious, which will directly endanger the aircraft. To make the aircraft fly order and for airline passengers' safety, please turnoff your mobile phone.
We can use telephone on the plane now
The Boing airliner installed with airborne mobile communications system was put into formal operation. By using satellite, you can reach anywhere on the ground. The only thing you need to do is to insert your SIM card and input your registration number. Computer will time the charge. For example, from Shanghai to Beijing , the long-distance charge in the air is 3 times as on the ground, as it is on international calls and mobile calls. The professional handled satellite-telephone is for the special use of aircraft, and will not disturb the Hertzian waves when flying.

"Unaccompanied children"
"Unaccompanied Minor" is a new item of civil aviation service, by which children can travel by air by themselves. Unaccompanied minors are the children who have reached 5 years of age and have not reached 12 years of age and will travel by air by themselves.
Since "unaccompanied Minor" was brought forth, the airlines in China have transported tens of thousands children. It greatly conveniences the parents who are busy working and whose children have to take planes and saves a lot for the parents who should have accompanied their children. It produced so much favorable comment from all circles of society. Every vacation, the alone-air-travel of the child passengers has become particular scenery.
