A strong China fare, but the return schedule needs attention
This is a strong deal because Milan to Chongqing from around €450 return with 1 x 23 kg checked baggage and 1 x 8 kg carry-on included is excellent value for a long-haul China trip.
The routing is also good: only 1 stop each way via Xi’an, with reasonable total journey times of around 14h outbound and 15h55 on the return. Chongqing is a fascinating destination for travellers interested in food, skyline views, river scenery and a less obvious China city break.
The main drawback is the return timing. The long-haul flight from Xi’an to Milan departs at 01:40, which is not ideal, especially for families travelling with children or travellers who prefer easier daytime flight schedules.
The strongest selling point is the combination of a low €450 fare, checked baggage included and a one-stop routing to a fascinating Chinese mega-city.
Check the final fare, baggage rules, China entry requirements, passport validity, layover times, provider conditions and ticket confirmation. Families with children should think carefully about the 01:40 return departure from Xi’an.
Best for: adventurous travellers, couples, solo travellers and China-curious travellers looking for excellent value.
Less ideal for: families with young children or travellers who want smooth daytime flight times.

Where to stay in Chongqing
Chongqing is exactly the kind of destination that can surprise travellers in the best way. It offers a dramatic skyline, incredible food, river views, futuristic city scenery and, compared with many major world cities, excellent hotel value.
One of the big advantages of visiting Chongqing is the accommodation cost. Travellers can often find high-quality 4 and 5-star hotels at very reasonable prices, with some luxury options available from less than €60 per night.
For this trip, a good plan would be to spend around 4 or 5 nights in Chongqing before continuing by high-speed train to Chengdu or exploring other parts of China.
For the sample dates 30/07 – 04/08, our pick is the iconic Ascott Raffles City Chongqing. This 5-star property is a landmark in its own right, located in one of the city’s most recognisable buildings.
With a nightly rate of around €110, this works out at only about €55 per person per night when travelling as a couple. Considering the 9.4 review score, the location and the overall quality, this looks like a very strong candidate for a memorable Chongqing stay.
