Well, the $305-ish is the 20% discount level, doubt if you're going to get better than that on this nonstop even if you hold out but if you want to play chicken for a couple of more weeks, should be OK. If you're willing and able to connect on the return leg, you can get back to PVG via CTU for RMB 1630 ai (US$260), though departure from JZH would be in the mid afternoon (enough to allow for a Huanglong visit beforehand). Or, via CKG for RMB 1440 ai (US$230), still departing in morning but arriving at PVG a couple of hours later due to connection time at CKG. CKG is almost always cheaper than CTU to connect in or out of JZH.
