I appreciate your detailed report.

Alipay wallet (app) is something that has the potential to make waves. Based on your observations, it appears that airplane tickets might not be the best vertical for them to pursue at present, but I certainly won't knock them for trying.

Regarding the one hour wait for ticket issuance, this was one of my biggest gripes with travelzen, and it even happens on ctrip at times. Always take screen shots!
