3. SFO, SEA, DFW, JFK are a cool $5.000
5. LAX (to anywhere) will save you $1,000
7. Plan on $1000 for the Covid tests at origin
8. Make sure you have a place to go after
None of this is accurate. Sorry moondog, this may be last year’s info. Or when I comes to the work permit stuff, info from pre-Covid. Your flight prices are ridiculously low, if there is even availability.
Also, I’d advise anyone thinking about traveling to China now to really think hard, keep thinking until you change your mind.
