<p align="center"><b>Check-in/out times and flight booking recommendations</b></p>
<p align="left">1) For the smoothest arrival experience in Beijing, we suggest for students to book their flights to arrive in Beijing between 10:00 - 18:00 and try to avoid flights that arrive in Beijing between 22:00 to 05:00. For departing flights we recommend to choose a flight leaving Beijing from 11:00 - 21:00</p>

<p align="left">2) Night Pick-up: If your flight arrives between 20:00 and 07:00 there is an additional night pick-up charge of 200 CNY.</p>
<p align="left">3) There is no reception management for homestays and shared apartments during the night. Therefore to ensure a smooth arrival procedure students who arrive in Beijing between 18:00 and 06:00 are required to book either a survival kit or airport pick-up. If you stay in a hotel during your first night, you are not required to book transport, though we do recommend that you do.</p>
<p align="left">4) It takes approximately one and a half to three hours to get through immigrations and customs at Beijing Capital Airport.</p>
<p align="left">5) The drive from the airport to your accommodation will take approx. 45 minutes to one and a half hours depending on traffic and type of accommodation.</p>
<p align="left">6) If you arrive earlier than our suggested arrival times below, we suggest to book an additional day for homestays and shared apartments, as waiting at the airport or in the accommodation can be a stressful experiences if you are in China for the first time and just got off a long distance flight. For the Mercure Hotel just waiting in the lobby until you get your room is usually ok though.</p>
