Booking flight in China: What does this mean?
"Sorry! The seats to your booking are insufficient. we have put up your application to the airline company for the alternative record."
That is what I get after having used Yoee to make a reservation.
Does this mean I am somewhat confirmed somewhere?? What procedures must I take?
I haven't yet paid using a credit card nor received any email from them.

In practical terms I'd guess it means you've been waitlisted.
I'm not sure where you are - but generally the best way to book domestic flights in China is to walk into a travel agent in China, in person. They print the ticket on the spot and if language is a barrier then writing down something like 'PVG-PEK 2006/8/24 RMB????' should work.
Booking a couple of days in advance is fine, and turning up at the airport normally works as well.

If you click on this link >>> Business Class on Air China and China Airlines it may answer your question.
If you click on Forums >> Airline Programs >> Other Asian, Australian and South Pacific Frequent Flyer Programs, you can find information about Air China by clicking on "search" on the upper right hand side and entering "Air China" - hope that helps, Ken.
