OREANDA-NEWS. February 22, 2011. Starting immediately, China Airlines’ (CAL) all passengers (with the exception of flying from Japan) who purchase Taiwan High-Speed Rail (HSR) tickets together with their flight tickets will enjoy a 25 percent discount, providing even more savings than the previous 15 percent discount. Passengers taking advantage of these additional savings will not be subject to date or trip restrictions. Besides providing more convenient and faster service, CAL now enables you to save even more, reported the press-centre of CAL.

CAL was the first airline to establish a check-in counter at the HSR Taoyuan Station on December 16, 2009. Today, passengers may conveniently make HSR reservations through the CAL website at www.china-airlines.com, while they may also also complete check-in and baggage check procedures at HSR Taoyuan Station.  Since passengers arriving at HSR Taoyuan Station no longer need to carry their luggage from the station to the Taoyuan International Airport and can get boarding passes at the station, this service helps passengers easily speed through airport immigration immediately after arriving at the airport. More than 7,000 passengers take advantage of this convenient service every month.

The CAL check-in counter at the HSR Taoyuan Station operates from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. every day. There is one counter dedicated to serve First and Business Class passengers, along with two counters serving Economy Class passengers.

Passengers may obtain their discounted HSR tickets together with their CAL air tickets by purchasing through CAL’s website, the CAL Customer Service Call Center, at CAL ticket counters around the country or through travel agencies. Passengers may make reservations, re-bookings or cancellations of HSR tickets through CAL’s website within 28 days of their planned departures, while HSR tickets may be picked up at any of thousands of Seven Eleven and Family Mart convenience stores located throughout Taiwan.

CAL and HSR are constantly striving to provide passengers with more comfortable and convenient services to make their travels easier.
