Hi INNflight, you indicate that China is expensive. What are you comparing it to, and what were your costs?

Thanks,

FR
It's been a few years since my last trip to China, but one of the fees they charged us was a 'pollution' fee for each leg you fly in China. If I remember correctly it was $2,000.00 USD a leg.

Then when you are coughing your lungs out while on the ground in China because of the terrible pollution that is all over China, you really wonder if that fee is really necessary.

Somehow I just didn't believe that the pollution caused by a Falcon 50 was all that significant when compared to all the other sources that pollute the air so badly in China.
