Air China is reigniting trans-Pacific connections with the long-awaited return of direct flights between Beijing and Washington, D.C. starting November 21! The CA817 route – grounded since 2020 – will operate twice weekly, with return flights stopping in Los Angeles. Talk about a comeback tour!
This isn’t just a win for wanderlust: The Civil Aviation Administration of China confirms China-U.S. weekly flights will jump from 48 to 70, turbocharging business, tourism, and cultural exchanges. CGTN’s You Yang will chat with travelers at Beijing Capital Airport about what this reconnection means for them.
Pro tip for globetrotters: Air China’s doubling down on Beijing-Los Angeles routes too, boosting them to three weekly flights from November 30. Pack those bags – the skies are getting friendlier!
