We have been very loyal to Ctrip for the past 4 years.

As others have mentioned, they have superior service and when plans unravel, they are amazing at finding fixes.

However the past few days, I have been pricing all the tickets I am going to need to purchase in the next few months.

elong is easily 150-300 rmb cheaper per ticket than ctrip on the same itinerary.

It wasn't like this before. They have been fairly competitive.

If the pricing was just a few rmb difference, ctrip gets my business but in calculating the savings, its more than 2000 rmb difference. (28 segments, international and domestic)

Has anybody else noticed this?
