According to the Rules for the Domestic Transportation of Passengers and Baggage of Civil Aviation of China, there is no special age restriction for the elderly to travel by air.
But the rules are different for each airline. Some airlines require a medical report on a specified program before you can buy a ticket, some airlines randomly check health certificates, and some require a random family member to accompany you.
It is therefore advisable to consult the carrier by phone before purchasing a ticket to avoid unnecessary trouble. When booking a ticket, choose a large airliner with complete facilities and a smaller age as much as possible. Compared with small and medium-sized airliners, large airliners are smoother and more comfortable to travel on. When booking a ticket, please pay attention to the availability of meals. Some low-cost airlines do not provide free meals, but you can order meals online for a fee.
