Again thank you moondog. My flight from PEK to PVG is y480, at least 1 flight is. The others are all y1100

Am I correct in assuming that it is a sale on that flight and chances are good that it will be gone by the time I get to China in May? If that is the case, is it possible for me to contact a travel agent now and have the ticket issued but held for pickup when I get there in May?

Or conversely, can I paypal you the $$ ahead and have you pick up the ticket? Just trying to save money here... being on a budget and all.

(as for my cheap hotel, staying at the Great Wall Sheraton using cash and points from SPG).
