For airlines like these, I would try to book on their websites first. Sometimes ctrip accepts foreign plastic; sometimes they don't (it seems they switch processors almost quarterly).
Regarding the $45 fares, I'd be willing to bet that those come in at over $100 once taxes/fees are added on,.... still a great deal.
