How strange, I could have sworn I responded earlier, oh well maybe I hit preview but not submit? In any case, thanks to both of you for the advice. I suppose I'll go for the Kunming stopover and buy both legs separately - I checked prices online and given my desired times I will in fact save a bit. I wasn't able to read the agency's website, wo bu hui shuo putonghua (sadly one of the few phrases i know!) but thanks
