Flight Information

Just wanted to post my flight schedule so everyone would know my plans. I'll be flying at of Orlando (MCO) at 6:45AM on Friday, June 22.

Unfortunately, since this is an international flight, we'll have to be at the airport around 5:00AM, if not earlier! I should arrive in Newark at 9:23AM and will enjoy the New Jersey airport hospitality until we catch our flight for Beijing at 12:10PM.

The flight to Beijing will be just over 13 and a half hours and we will arrive on Saturday, June 23 at 1:45PM (local time). Beijing is 13 hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time, but in the summer, we will only be 12 hours ahead since there is no Daylight Savings Time in China.

After having flown just over 7,000 miles, our group leaders should be at the airport to pick us up and then we have a bus ride to Tianjin (about an hour to an hour and a half) before finally being able to settle into the dorm rooms at Tianjin Foreign Studies University.
