Hi everyone.

Advice needed on my trip to Los Angeles in mid-Feb. I could either book a PEY ticket (E class) (with Kunming to HKG short haul flights bumped into I) at around 10500 RMB or an Economy ticket (V class) at around 8000 RMB. Normally I would not hesitate to book the PEY option.

The complication now is that I am not too sure about the departure dates. I might need to change it to a later date. I know the two fare classes will both be free of charge if I want to change the tickets. However, I am looking at the fares at later dates, the prices are a few thousand more for each. If I buy a V ticket, as I was told, since I am MPC GO, I will still get an economy seat, regardless of the price hike on later days. This means, I can lock the price pretty much now as long as I book it. However, MPC GO does not give any PEY seat guarantee. I assume this means that I will have pay for any fare differences if there is any. This somehow concerns me a bit as it is around 3000-4000RMB more.

Which ticket should I buy now? And did I understand the whole situation correctly?

Any comments are welcome. Thanks.
