As far as carriers are concerned, I've grown partial to Shanghai Airlines (FM) of late.
Wow! I had one of my worst flights EVER on FM last month and will not book them again. To each their own!
Where are you getting the RMB260 fare? I've never found anything that close, even with my Shanghai office booking it with consolidators...I opt for C or F intra-China because the difference between Y and C/F is usually only about US$50.00--and the ground service alone is worth it most of the time.
