[Direct answer]In the Beijing area, after being subject to restrictions on high-consumption activities, individuals are generally not allowed to travel by air. According to the "Interpretation of the Supreme People's Court on Restricting the High-Consumption and Related Activities of Debtors" (amended in 2015), after being subject to consumption restrictions, natural persons are not allowed to choose airplanes, soft sleeper trains, or second-class or higher cabins on ships when traveling. In other words, whether it's domestic or international flights, individuals subject to consumption restrictions are generally unable to purchase tickets and board airplanes. If it's truly necessary for medical treatment, attending a funeral, or handling urgent matters for life or work, they can submit a written application to the enforcement court and provide corresponding proof. After being reviewed and approved, they can travel within the approved scope. It should be noted that evading restrictions by borrowing others' identities or having others purchase tickets on their behalf is considered an act of evading enforcement, which may result in fines, detention, and, in serious cases, being added to the list of untrustworthy individuals.

1. Problem background and typical scenarios

After being subject to a travel restriction order, whether one can still take flights is the most direct confusion for many debtors. There are typically three scenarios: First, when traveling for work or visiting relatives, they need to take flights but are unsure whether it's prohibited altogether; Second, when purchasing tickets, they are blocked by the system and want to know whether they can apply for permission to travel; Third, they mistakenly believe that the restriction only applies to first-class or business-class flights, ignoring the overall constraints on air travel. In Beijing, courts generally implement travel restriction measures during enforcement. Debtors should be aware that air travel is explicitly prohibited, and if necessary, they should apply for permission in accordance with the law rather than attempt to evade the restrictions, so as to avoid facing more severe legal consequences.

II. Key points of dispute

First, does the restriction on high-end consumption prohibit air travel altogether? Second, are the restrictions on domestic and international flights consistent? Third, what are the exceptional circumstances and application procedures for those who really need to take flights? Fourth, what are the legal consequences of evading the restrictions? Fifth, what is the fundamental way to lift the restrictions? The core is to judge the need for air travel based on the provisions of the restriction order on consumption, making it clear that air travel is a transportation tool prohibited for selection, and there is no difference due to the different classes of seats.

III. Professional analysis by Henglue Lawyers

From a practical perspective, the restrictions on high-consumption behavior clearly and comprehensively apply to air travel. The regulations on consumption restrictions list air travel alongside soft sleeper train tickets and second-class or higher ship cabins, indicating that all air travel options are prohibited for individuals subject to these restrictions, without distinguishing between different cabin classes. Both domestic and international flights are subject to these restrictions, and ticketing systems typically automatically block such purchases, making it difficult to circumvent them in practice. If there are genuine travel needs for life or work, such as urgent medical treatment or handling important matters in other cities, individuals can submit a written application to the executing court, explaining the circumstances and attaching supporting materials. The court will review and approve such requests on a case-by-case basis. Notably, purchasing tickets under someone else's identity, borrowing documents, or circumventing the restrictions in other ways constitutes evading enforcement and may result in fines, detention, and, in serious cases, inclusion in the list of dishonest debtors, as well as more severe legal consequences. Ultimately, the only way to lift these restrictions is to fulfill obligations according to the law or reach a settlement and comply with the enforcement requests.

IV. Practical suggestions and legal basis

Action suggestions: Firstly, check the content of the restriction order to clarify that air travel is one of the prohibited modes of transportation; Secondly, if it is necessary to take a plane, submit a written application and supporting materials to the executing court in advance; Thirdly, prioritize unlimited modes of transportation, such as ordinary trains and second-class seats on EMU trains; Fourthly, actively fulfill obligations or reach a settlement to fundamentally lift the restrictions; Fifthly, do not attempt to borrow others' identities or documents to purchase tickets to evade the restrictions.
