Flights
BUNAC can arrange a flight to suit your needs and we aim to put volunteers together on the same flight so you travel as a group.
Our flight tickets are flexible returns, which will allow you to change your return date whilst away (subject to airline availability and an administration fee).
Alternatively, if you’d like to arrange independent travel then you can as long as you arrive on or before the Arrival date above. Our in-house travel agents GS World Travel can give you a quote on 020 7250 0222.
Can I travel during the programme?
The programme operates across three different regions of China – your arrival training will be in one city and the two summer camps are located in different areas.
Summer School China is a structured short-term programme so you’ll have a busy schedule and there won’t be opportunities for any additional travel during the programme.

TESTIMONIALS
"Thank you very much for organising my recent trip to
China, I had so much fun. I would recommend it to anyone interested in travelling
to China. It’s an excellent way to explore Chinese culture and the wonderful and
diverse cities of China."
