However, in country, they were always a poor option. In fact, they still are (e.g. their searches don't include those dirt cheap flights on Juneyao Airlines). But, at least they are now on par with Ctrip for my 130p CA flight (previously, I would have had to pay them an extra $60, in order to buy up to full fare).

On the downside, if I decide to change my plans, working with Expedia is a nightmare, compared to Ctrip.
So is Expedia cheaper now than ctrip and elong?
