You might ask CTrip if they have a 24-hour cancellation policy on US-bound tickets; then, you could always check the receipt.
I tried, am on the phone now and they do not have a 24 hour cancellation.
Yes - this is what I was asking yesterday. I found the price on ctrip but now I'm concerned that it's a bulk fare. I read the rules from ITA, but I'm not actually sure that's the same fare that CTRIP has (the price matches...or at least it's super close). argh - so confused!

I get ¥15,068 on ctrip.cn though.
I'm thinking I'll buy on CTRIP but I'm totally worried it's a bulk fare.
