Cum funcționează, pas cu pas

Patru pași. De la început până la sfârșit, în aproximativ cinci minute.

  1. 1

    Get the Chinese-language hotline

    The Chinese domestic hotline (often 95+4 digits) is usually faster and more flexible than the English-language international line. Find it on the airline's .cn website.

  2. 2

    Have your PNR and passport ready

    Open your booking confirmation. You will need the 6-character PNR / record locator, your flight number, and passport number. Read them out clearly and the translator delivers them in Mandarin.

  3. 3

    Open AI Call and set Chinese

    Launch AI Call, choose Chinese (Mandarin) as the other-side language, and dial. Both Simplified Chinese transcript and English transcript appear on screen.

  4. 4

    State your request directly

    Chinese airline agents are efficient — start with the PNR then the change you want. You get the confirmation, new flight details, and any fare difference translated back to English.

Întrebări frecvente

Is the Chinese-language hotline better than the English one?

Usually yes. Chinese carriers reserve their best fares, fastest agents, and broadest inventory for the domestic Mandarin hotline. With AI Call you get that access without speaking Chinese.

Can I call from outside China?

Yes. Dial the full international number (+86 + area code + hotline). AI Call works on international calls exactly the same way as domestic ones.

Will the agent accept my passport number in English?

They expect digits and letters — passport numbers are universal. Read them out slowly; the translator delivers them clearly in Mandarin and confirms them back in English.

Can I request wheelchair, meal, or bassinet services this way?

Yes. Special service requests (SSRs) are commonly handled by phone with Chinese carriers, and AI Call makes it straightforward to describe exactly what you need.
