Thanks moondog. Now the final trick question. How do I go about ticketing this flight? I put down delivery in Shanghai as I will be there a few days before. Can I book this on the internet or does it have to be done otherwise?

Sorry to be a newb here, never been to China before and don't want to run into a minor glitch like having a plane ticket that is invalid.

Oh yeah, one other question. The cost of my room and this flight is about equal to the cost of the train one way. Would you recommend flying or train in this case? The train makes me even more nervous because of arrival times, getting from the station to the airport etc.

Again, thank you for your help.
