If Air China has seats in the fare buckets you're trying to ticket it on, you should push this harder. Otherwise, just go to Expedia and friends and ticket it there. Booking two separate reservations is a recipe for disaster.

You'll have an Air China confirmation number once your reservation is ticketed. Remember: Ticket numbers are far more important than reservation numbers/confirmation codes.
