Mind you im very suprised that other users find the same rate on Ctrip or other sites for flights and hotels. In my experience, Elong always has better rates.
I just tried booking an E-ticket on Air China from PVG-XIY from Elong, but when I go to pay, they force me to pay for the ticket on delivery with no option to pay via a US-based credit card. When I picked the flights from the first screen, I chose E-ticket, but when I went to pay, there is only a deliver option. Has anyone else ever bought e-tickets successfully using a US credit card on elong?
I have been looking at C-trip before running into this post, and although I didn't complete the transaction, it seemed they let me purchase with a US credit card, but they seem to have the price wrong since they didn't account for the new fuel surcharges as of 9/1/06 which have me a little worried about ctrip's credibility. Also, I've read people don't trust giving ctrip their credit card numbers.
Thanks in advance for any help
