Time runs short to plane a trip to the Olympics
“If you’re reading this and haven’t made travel arrangements for the Olympics yet, you’re definitely behind the power curve,” Nancy Pierce, technical sales
“If you’re reading this and haven’t made travel arrangements for the Olympics yet, you’re definitely behind the power curve,” Nancy Pierce, technical sales and support manager for international trip planning for Jeppesen, told AIN. The Beijing Olympics are being held from August 8 to 24.
“According to the CAAC, China’s equivalent of the FAA, the first deadline for trip plans was March 31, and the bulk of our requests made that deadline. It doesn’t mean you can’t apply now but you need to allow at least 20 to 30 days before your desired departure date. It’s OK to stop at multiple cities, but last-minute changes, either before departing the U.S. or while in China, are going to result in a 24-hour delay to get approval,” she said.
