Arriving at the airport in China
To start, MEF English will take care of your airport arrival. How, will really depend on the logistics, who is arriving at the same time, the time of day and the needs of the group.
In the ideal setting, one of us will be there with an orange MEF T-shirt (vest or clothes) and a lovely smile, to welcome you.
But, for example, if we have the ability to arrange a hotel airport shuttle with the hotel we booked for you, then you will likely be picked up by the hotel, and someone from MEF will meet you there.
Honestly, unless you are a known billionaire joining us, the chance of anything serious happening at the airport would be quite rare.
That said, we know people have concerns and worries, especially if they haven’t traveled much.
There are a few ways that we can make you feel more comfortable. If we aren’t able to have someone from MEF wearing orange MEF clothes and holding a sign with your name on it, at minimum, we will make sure someone is holding a sign with your name on it to greet you as you walk out of the arrivals gate in the airport.
Regardless of the logistics, before you take your flight, we will ask that the person picking you up either sends a photo of themselves, or their ID so you can know better who is picking you up. The airports normally have wifi and ideally you were able to get an e-SIM/SIM and will be able to get any updated photo /information if there are any changes.
Usually we will be connected by Wechat, so connecting sending a message saying “the plane just landed”, “I caught all of my flights and boarding now, see you guys soon”, etc. will also be reassuring.
What if there is a flight delay on my way to China?
All airports should have WIFI and you should be able to send a quick message to update us if there is a delay, cancellation or anything comes up. We will also check your flight numbers and double check that everything is on time.
Don’t worry, relax, we will see you soon enough.
