Unconsciously, the epidemic has passed for more than two years, and almost all restrictions have been lifted in Spain, but we still implement entry control at home, so flights back to China have been affected to a certain extent. Now, as things improve, several Chinese airlines have updated their flight plans.
At present, Air China and Hainan Airlines have updated their flights, and a number of Chinese travel agencies have reported that the two airlines will resume direct flights with Madrid in the near future. For many Chinese, this is good news.
It is reported that Air China's direct flight to Madrid from Beijing will resume on July 2, while the return destination is Tianjin, and Hainan Airlines' direct flight to Madrid will resume on June 28. Air China flies directly on Saturday and Tuesday in Hainan. Regarding the price, Hainan Airlines one-way fares start from 9380 yuan, Air China one-way fares start from 7420 yuan, and about 1000 euros abroad. The fare back to Madrid is around 2865 euros. 这与疫情爆发前4000元人民币的来回航班价格相比，还是比较悬殊的。
For example, the quarantine time for inbound personnel in Nanjing, Changzhou, Xuzhou and Wuhan in Hubei Province has been adjusted from the original "14+7" to "7+7", that is, 7 days of centralized isolation + 7 days of home isolation. As of now, the most stringent port city is Dalian, Liaoning Province, and entry must be quarantined for "14 +14" for up to 28 days. In addition, after the Civil Aviation Administration of China increased the quota of international flights of airlines, it has also recently adjusted the circuit breaker rules, and the statistical date of whether flights entering China have been circuited has been reduced from seven days after landing to five days.
Previously, on the date of the landing of the flight and in the subsequent seven consecutive days, if the number of positive infected persons carrying inbound passengers on the flight reached more than five cases, the flight was judged to be circuitized. However, after adjustment, positive infections on the sixth and seventh days will no longer affect the circuit breaker of the flight, and the chance of the flight being blown up is reduced. Subsequent returning passengers on the same route can also determine earlier whether the flight they will be on has been circuitized.
As things stand, that should be a good sign. Many Chinese compatriots say they can't afford to face thousands of euros in airfare and high quarantine costs. I sincerely hope that while the situation improves and the policy is relaxed, the price of air tickets will slowly come down.
