old news, but Xiamen Airlines (MF) already announced that they just released English website. Global Online Ticketing will be available on end of Sep-2012.

Xiamen Airlines now offers an English website for overseas passengers. The website provides information about the company, the Egret Frequent Flyer Club and passenger and cargo services. We invite you to visit www.xiamenair.com!

By the end of September 2012, Xiamen Airlines will support six additional subsites in both English and the local languages to serve Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, Malaysia and South Korea. Overseas online ticketing services will be available then, allowing passengers to purchase and pay for tickets using local currencies. Moreover，every regional Xiamen Airlines website will continue to offer online check-in, flight status queries, Egret points queries, point redemption and other web services that make traveling easier for our passengers. More exciting content is coming soon!

any thoughts ?

I think it says that the overseas ticketing will be available only for these countries, not USA, Europe, etc. or even Japan.

The bilingual website is probably just to fulfil standards ahead of their entry into SkyTeam.

Their website format/design looks incredibly similar to that of Air China's.

Hi! im trying to book a domestic flight XMN-WUS for March 2013 trip on Xiamen or Shandong Airlines and Ctrip only have 2 months from date of booking available. is this the norm in Chinese airlines?

Also, is the Egret Club Membership in Xiamen Airlines only for Chinese residents? I tried the membership application Google Translated and it required Chinese name. I wanted to be a member of this since the Egret Club also earns points through booking in Ctrip.

Yes. You can probably get Expedia to sell you a full fare ticket now, but why not wait until discounted fares are loaded?
