If the total price is around $700+ USD, then I'd gladly pay. *A miles are already purposed for other travel. That said, whatever miles that I could earn out of that, it would be just fine. Am aware of deep discount fares propably earn little.

One PNR will be preferred. Not the end of world to do separate tickets. Your suggestion is well taken. Thanks. I do often used ctrip, and sometime elong. Have yet to try travelzen. May come to that.

Thanks for this link. Registered online, and did a brief dummy search. Went pass flight search, all the way to plug in pax details. So far so good. Did not plug in cc yet, but I think it may work all the way to eticket. Did notice for my multi-city itin, the search engine groups the flights into options (each option has ALL my segments). This makes picking individual segment not possible. I think I may have to live with it. The itin pricing matches that of ITA.
Anyhow, so far, MISA looks very promising. Much more user-friendly than the Chinese sites. I presume you have done biz with them?
Thanks again! ^
