China First Day
Hotel Check-In Guide

Late arrival message

Late flights and long immigration lines happen. A short message can keep the hotel from treating you as a no-show.

What to do

  1. 1

    Send your flight or train number and approximate arrival time before departure.

  2. 2

    Ask the hotel to keep the room if you arrive after normal check-in hours.

  3. 3

    Save the hotel's reply and front desk phone number offline.

  4. 4

    If arrival changes during travel, update the hotel before your phone battery gets low.

Check before you rely on it

  • Hotel reception is available at your expected arrival time.

  • You understand cancellation or no-show rules for your booking.

  • You have a backup nearby option if the booking cannot be used.
