Home Leave Allowance – Summer 2022 update

Dear All,

I want to update you on the progress of the Summer 2022 flights process. As predicted, there is a positive trend with the increased number of flights and destinations for travel outside China. Some airlines also have published information regarding return flights to China for July 2022.

We constantly communicate with travel agents, airlines and other international schools in China. Based on experts’ advice, we will start further evaluation and flights selection in the first week of April 2022.

We are consolidating information about quarantine regulations (in China), including cost and will publish it shortly.

Some of you have not yet decided which option you choose:

OPTION 1

Take the HLA for the whole family and make your arrangements – cash in hand, the amount have been communicated in November 2021.

OPTION 2

School buys the ticket(s) for those travelling home and pays the HLA for those family members not travelling outside of China.

Can you inform me about your intentions by the end of this week, Friday 25 March 2022. It will assist when working with the travel agent and with the preparation for the April salary payment.

Thank you for being so cooperative.

Arek and the Team
