(you can also book on arrival and sometimes get a better discount but I know you already said you wish to book in advance).
Probably PVG is a better choice for me since NW has just launched a DTW-PVG route. Thanks for the booking links. The only reason that I wanted to buy the ticket ahead of time is that I have to be in KMG on August 1. I wouldn't mind waiting and buying the ticket in PVG but then wouldn't I run the risk of a sold out flight?
