Bilingual air tickets

Flying can be as easy as buying a ticket and boarding the airplane. So easy that these days you do not even have to have a real ticket to get onboard.

But let us go back to a rather rudimentary question - can you fully understand what is on that small piece of paper?

We are not sure about native English speakers but are certain few Chinese can understand everything on it. The reason is simple: English is the official language on all air tickets sold here, and the majority of our compatriots do not speak a word of it. And even if one is fully conversant with the language, it may take some effort to figure out what all those abbreviations stand for. Although some flight operators do provide basic Chinese translation for essential information on their tickets, it is far from common practice.
