What the kit proves
Route, time, policy, source.
The printout puts your itinerary, stay duration, planned regions, NIA policy excerpt, and source QR code on one page. It is not a visa; it is a counter-ready explanation for a supervisor.

Build a one-page Boarding Kit for airline check-in
Airline check-in agents often don't know the 240-hour transit rule, and this is a common cause of denied boarding for travelers who actually qualify. The Points Guy, FlyerTalk, and the 240h Facebook groups all recommend the same fix: carry a printed page that quotes the official policy and lists your specific itinerary on it. This tool builds that page.

Hotel address
Use the same first-night address everywhere.
Airline staff, the Digital Arrival Card, and this Boarding Kit can all ask for a China address. A hotel booking with a clear Chinese address is the least fragile proof to carry.

Checked resources
Carry the source, not just our summary.
The resources hub collects the NIA 240h policy, official CDAC portal, and related proof pages so the Boarding Kit stays anchored to verifiable sources.
FAQ
What if my airline doesn't know about the 240-hour transit rule?
This is a common problem. Hand the agent a printed page with the NIA policy, your route, your stay time, and a QR code to the official source. That is what this Boarding Kit makes.
Is showing the kit on my phone good enough?
Paper is better. The agent can read it, write on it, or pass it to a supervisor. Keep the PDF on your phone as a backup.
Does ChinaReady Check see my passport number?
No. The kit is made inside your browser. Your name, passport number, and route do not get sent to our server.
Will the printed kit replace a visa or get me through immigration?
No. The kit is only for the airline check-in counter. Chinese immigration still checks your passport, route, and documents when you arrive. You still need to file the Digital Arrival Card separately.
What language is the kit in?
Bilingual — English for the airline agent at your departure airport, and 中文 (Simplified Chinese) for any Chinese-speaking supervisor who may be called over. The NIA policy excerpt is shown in both languages with the original source link.
How recent is the policy text on the kit?
The kit uses the policy snapshot shown on this site. Regenerate the kit close to your travel date, so your paper copy is not old.
