| Post subject: Flights out of China (Shanghai) |
Hey peeps,
I am planning to fly to the US (New York) on a one-way ticket around the first week of June. I have never bought an international ticket out of China and was hoping someone might have some tips for me: should I purchase the ticket soon, or am I better off waiting until the date gets nearer, and more importantly, where can I search for cheap flights?
I do not care which airline I fly with, nor how long it takes, nor if I need to make several stop-overs. I just care about getting there as cheaply as I can.
Thanks in advance for any tips or suggestions! |

Talk to travel agents....several of them. I have a friend who got a return flight to New York for about $500 USD in January. |

You might want to try Smart Travel (http://www.smart-travel.com.cn). The phone # is 86 21 6326 4511 and asked to speak to Elva. She is pretty good and can speak English.
So far I had purchased 3 tickets with them and very satisfied with their service and price. I went back Philly last Novemeber and it costs around USD 1,200 round trip, economy class.
So give it a a try and a quotation. And they also deliver to your location as well.
By the way, are you Greg by any chance? |

If you are not that picky, you can take China airline. It is the cheapest one. |
