Beijing expatriates have been warned not to take risks by flying as on-board couriers to get free traveling opportunities and to collect frequent flyer miles.

Beijing airport customs have warned expats of the risks of taking parcels with unknown contents on board airplanes, and authorities warned Sunday that more than 50 grams of an illegal substance can qualify the carrier for a death sentence, regardless of the traveler’s knowledge of the package’s contents.

“If any illegal substance is found in a bag under your care, you will be charged”, a worker with the Beijing Capital Airport customs department told the “Global Times”.
