By Air:

China has launched a direct flight from its capital Beijing to Lhasa, capital of occupied Tibet. The direct flight service of Air China started operation from July 10, 2006.

The Beijing-Lhasa direct air-route replaced the Beijing-Chengdu-Lhasa line, also operated by Air China. The introduction of the new line has reduced travel time by two hours. The total travel time between Beijing and Lhasa is 4 hours compared to 48 hours on the Qinghai-Tibet railway which began operation on July 1. There will be one flight every day using better A330 airplane, said the report dated July 14.

It will be the country's only long distance air route to Lhasa. The one-way ticket will cost around 2,430 Yuan (price does not include TTB permit).

However, the flight from Lhasa to Beijing will still stop over at Chengdu, capital of southwest China's Sichuan Province, to ensure occupancy. The return flight will take about five hours and 40 minutes.
