But can we pickup these tickets at Harbin train station? I don't care about the fare difference as long as we can get sleeper tickets. How can I be sure they didn't sell the beds to anybody else if we don't show up in Qiqihar?
We should arrive 20:50 at Harbin airport, so we would have 3 hours to get to the train station and get the tickets. Should be enough, if flight is on time.
