Airport Lijiang / LJG
I can't find this particular airport on United.com? I know Air China flies there....
But it's not even on United.com search....
However, award to JHG(in the same province as above) is searchable, just terrible flight schedule.
Any suggestions?

I think I flew there on MU connecting in Kunming. For intra-Chinese flights, you can find cheaper fares separately on Ctrip.com. Also, the flights can be cheaper even a week before departure. Booking a month in advance may seem reasonable with US airlines, but it's actually pretty far ahead for Chinese airlines.

I can fly from my home airport all the way to LJG included in the award. I would stop at CTU, but limited time, I want to hit LJG and JHG in about 10 days or so, then make a visit in another city on the southeastern size. Thanks I will call and book it.

Howeverm, LJG is not even an airport listed on United.com
JHG only depart at 9:30pm
LJG only depart 6am
Both times are brutal when I'm coming from the States, I'd need to fly to PEK, then CTU, then JHG or LJG. That's 40+ hours flight with layovers etc.
China Eastern provide like 10 flights daily from Kuming, might be a better option if I could find a low mileage award on Delta.
