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.

常见问题
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.
