Hi Gang,
I am going to China on a vacation this fall and I was wondering what the cheapest way to buy plane tickets within China (eg from beijing to chengdu) is if you are outside the country.
thanks!

I've mentioned them before and it's a little tougher to do when you're out of the country, bu CTRIP.com is great. It's mostly in chinese, but you can input the cities in pinyin.
The biggest problem is usually they have to deliver them to someone, so it's helpful if you have a friend in country to have them to delivered to.
Another option is that most decent hotels have services like ticketing, and typically the prices are the same everywhere. If you'll be staying at a 4 or 5 star hotel when you arrive, you can call ahead and see if you can book the tickets by credit card and get them when you arrive.
I guess the second option makes more sense for most people. You could try to call a nearby hotel if yours doesn't have those services, though most international hotels in Beijing (probably your first stop) should have them.
Hope that helps!
thanks Kat, I will give that
thanks Kat, I will give that a try. I will get a Chinese person to help me decipher the website.
Good information. You should
Good information. You should look good there, because from what I have heard a ticket to China can make you cut down on some dollars. So good luck searching.
