For February 21st, it prices out at 750cny, but I'm not sure if that's the final price. Has anyone used this site for international flights?
Is it similar to domestic Chinese flights where we could book tickets for this leg when we get there and still get something reasonably priced?
I'm sure I'll have more questions after I book the flight. Thanks in advance.

I would have to guess that 750 is not the final price, assuming that's the number you saw online because it's legal to quote fares exclusive of taxes and fuel surcharges here.
Looking on the bright side, you'll still probably come in south of 1100, which is less than it costs to fly to SH much of the time (this was certainly not the case 3 years ago).
Tangent: I'm guessing your 750 fare is on CZ (because CA, OZ, and KE rarely drop that low). If that's the case, there's a 90% chance that it will depart from the international part of T2, ....but there's a 10% chance that it won't. I only mention this because I caused a friend to miss a flight a year ago by giving him info that I thought was rock-solid (he was flying PEK-XMN-MNL on CZ and I wrongly assumed T1 was the correct call because PEK-XMN is domestic).
