CHINA’S international flights to the U.S. will go ahead as scheduled today despite some European countries canceling U.S. flights several days ago.

　　No Chinese airline has flights bound for the U.S. east coast. Air China’s flight to the U.S. will land at Los Angeles on the west coast.

　　An airline spokesman said that after the Sept. 11 attacks, booking rates in many European airlines dropped heavily. Some airlines even canceled some flights to the U.S. east coast.

　　The U.S. government announced Sept. 5 that it will impose a flight curfew over New York, Washington D.C., and Somerset county in Pennsylvania state.

　　Chinese passengers flying to the U.S., especially those in transit via the U.S., are reminded that they should patiently accept various checks. Previously, passengers only needed to arrive at an airport 30 minutes ahead of schedule but they now must arrive two hours ahead.

　　Meanwhile, airline sources warn passengers not to carry any metal objects, liquid milk or milk power or other white powder products, nor mention words such as “terrorism attack”, or “weapon” to avoid any trouble at the time of boarding.

　　Moon cake gift packs with metal knives and forks will not pass safety checks.
