Buying air tickets, Travelzen was a good alternative to ctrip because they didn't charge a foreign credit card fee and didn't pester you to fax a copy of your credit card.

But for the last few days at least, their website has been "Under Maintenance." Obviously if you're an online travel agent, you can't let your site go down for days.

Does anyone know? Has Travelzen bit the dust?

(As an aside, ctrip says they now waive the 3 percent charge on foreign credit cards IFand only if you book with their mobile app.)
