Book one way FUK-SIN for 542USD this morning on MU APP. My past decade of experience taught me to always book through the official website or app when dealing with those Chinese airlines. If that's not possible, I would recommend Trip.com. The same company owns both Trip.com and Ctrip, along with Skyscanner, Qunar, and many others. They are the largest OTA (Online Travel Agency) in China and the world. In fact, the hotlines for Trip.com and Ctrip.com can transfer calls to each other. I always call the Trip.com English specialist and politely ask them to transfer my call to Ctrip, which helps me skip the queue during Ctrip's busy hours.
