Network & hub
From Lhasa Gonggar & Chengdu the network covers major domestic cities plus regional international routes as demand allows. Departing from Lhasa Gonggar & Chengdu gets you the best frequencies, timings and irregular-ops backup; from non-base cities expect more one-stops, so watch total journey time when booking.
Booking & travel tips
Booking tips: fares float with live inventory — 2–6 weeks out (2–4 months long-haul) is usually the trough, and member pricing can undercut platforms. Join the loyalty program if you fly the brand often. Paid upgrade windows open around check-in at prices well below purchase-time premiums, and pre-bought extra baggage saves 30%+ versus airport rates.
