Only liquids cream, perfume, etc which exceed 150mls per container.

The same is standard on ALL International flights

You can ask for water once you've boarded your flights.

No, I believe they only confiscate if the containers (regardless of volume of contents) exceed 100 ml.

According to the custom rule, you can only bring one laptop for personal use. But I read that someone once brought two laptops from Paris to China. One is in carry-on luggage and the other one is in checked baggage.

I suggest you confirm this with the airline company. Their answer is the most authentic.

GUEST56126 Airlines are quick to change their rules regarding "free" luggage.
I just completed a visit to China, I flew China Southern, and they allowed 2 check in pieces of luggage (up to 50 lbs each) and a carryon. I had no problem with a computer on top of that.

I need to fly from Delhi, India to Dalian, China to take a job teaching English -- Z visa. The main options seem to be China Southern and Air China. But their websites say they only allow 5 kg for a single carry on.

Does anyone have experience flying to China from Asia on these airlines?

In my past experience, all airlines have allowed a small backpack or computer bag, in addition to the main carry on, as well as a camera, bag of food, or whatever. And the backpack/computer bag was not weighed.

Do China Southern and/or Air China allow these extra carry ons, despite what they say on their websites?

China Airlines has a more liberal stated carry on policy, but I can't find a flight to Dalian, for some reason. (I have a very slow ISP).

Thank you for any help.

GUEST6767 ALTOID,

Why not call them or send them an email for detailed information since you can find their official website.

GUEST6767:

First of all, their websites are not exactly user friendly, at least outside China, and do not have readily available email contacts from the main pages. I finally found email and phone numbers for offices in India, and emailed them last week. I have not received any replies. Also, most of the phone numbers listed on their websites for India do not work. Not receiving replies to emails and non-working published phone numbers are very common in India.

I have dealt with other airlines out of the U.S. and Asia, and I have never seen such unhelpful websites.

I did see one thing buried in an FAQ list that certain categories of travelers, such as students and "laborers" might be eligible for special baggage allowances, unspecified.

As to phoning, I am nervous about not having anything in writing regarding baggage allowances.

I was hoping somebody here might have flown either of these airlines from within Asia recently and could shed some light on the unwritten rules of carry ons. I find it hard to believe that they only allow one 5 kg bag. But who knows?

GUEST6767 ALTOID,

I am sorry that I can not help you with this. I just flew two times and didn't fly with China Southern and Air China.
