Wang (residing in Anhui province, eastern China), a pilot training expert, and his 7-year-old daughter used a 2-seater plane to return home for the Lunar New Year this year.
Previously, on holidays and Tet, Wang and her daughter used this way to get home to avoid traffic jams. However, right after the clip appeared on social media, many people expressed their interest and wanted to be Wang's daughter.

It took them 50 minutes to get to Wang's parents' house, two hours faster than by car. His daughter was used to it and would often nap during the flight.
To be safe, Wang said he had to register for the flight route several hours in advance and check to see if he was allowed to park the plane near his parents' house.
The plane he uses costs 1.1 million NDT (about 3.7 billion VND) and can fly 1,200km when fully fueled.
In China, the Spring Festival travel rush is considered the world's largest annual migration. According to the Chinese Ministry of Tourism, about 9 billion passengers travel during this time.
This figure is nearly double that of last year's Lunar New Year (4.7 billion visits) and nine times higher than in 2022.
According to the Department of Transport , an estimated 7.2 billion trips were self-driving, with the remaining 1.8 billion trips made by public transport on trains, buses, planes and boats.
