Best of Vietnam and Cambodia

Please refer to this information when making your domestic flight arrangements to your selected international China Airlines flight. The flight information is correct as of April 21, 2008. Schedules are subject to change, and we urge our passengers to refrain from purchasing domestic flights into our gateway cities until you receive confirmed flight details from us. If you are traveling from New York, you will receive your flight schedule in your confirmation packet.   Even after flights have been confirmed, changes might still occur. These changes in schedules are beyond our control and solely at the discretion of the airlines.

One way to avoid problems with schedule changes is to try and arrive in your gateway city early in the day of your departure. Even better, if your schedule and budget permit the extra time and extra cost, schedule your arrival for the day before your scheduled departure. You can enjoy the sites (both gateway cities offer visitors lots of wonderful things to see and do) and relax knowing you are protected against most connection complications that might arise. In any event, we strongly suggest that you leave plenty of connecting time (at least 3 to 4 hours) between flights. You will need the time to navigate the various lines, security checks and duty free shops you'll encounter, and you can use the extra time once you've checked in for your flight to meet fellow Friendly Planet travelers at the gate. (Wear your Friendly Planet button so others can easily spot you as a member of the group.)

Since traveling across international datelines and many time changes can be confusing, please read the following explanation of flights carefully. If you have any questions about your flights, please call us before reserving or purchasing domestic flights into your chosen gateway city. Friendly Planet's toll-free number is 800-555-5765. The direct extension for our air department is 208.
