CZ it is. It looks like they tack on another 413cny. From the other threads here, it doesn't seem like it's the most trustworthy of the sites.

I emailed tickets9588 also, they quoted me 1750+440 on CA + 5%.

I checked Asiana on the US website, it's close to $550. If you use the Asiana China website, it prices out at 1650+405, but I'm not sure if I'm allowed to book on that site since I'm not a resident of China. It's tough to tell from the website.

Thanks for the warning on CZ. I'm sure I'm going to have a fun time at the airport there

I have to discuss with the wife and see if we just want to stay in China for the week. If so, do you think that it's worth doing Beijing and Shanghai?

My wife's only request is to see the Great Wall (the hike described in these forums sounds great), so the debate is whether to do Beijing for the week or try the whirlwind tour with Xi'an, Shanghai or somewhere a little more rural.

Thanks.
