[quote=JABAROOTOO,253047]Hi Griz, These is my suggestion from my personal experience. Firstly, yes can get some good deals from the airport but you are also likely to get the same deals from an agent as well but..... It really depends where and when you are flying to and from. Have you checked the flights tab at the top of the page? There are four flights daily from Can to NNG ranging in price from US$112 to US$162 and they all still the cheap seats available. These are E-tickets. A good deal. Last year I made a visa run to Hong Kong via Shenzhen. Not knowing how long I would need to spend in HK I did not buy my return ticket. I did my homework and knew that there was a cheap flight with China Air mid afternoon. Had I not known this I would have been sold a ticket on the next flight to CQ for almost twice the price of the other. I had the time to wait. Another time I flew into Shanghai from Xiamen, planning to spend a bout five days. On arrival I went straight to the help desk to buy a ticket from Shanghai to Chongqing at a price I now know to be good value and it was delivered to my Shanghai address almost before I arrived there, at least before I had time to withdraw the cash to pay for it. Most recently for my trip home last August I got a good deal on a return International Fare from Guangzhou. I just needed the domestic tickets which I researched using the ‘flight’ tab at the top of this page and then called my agent to buy them for me. I got them even cheaper than the advertised online price. What a bargain. But there was a catch. Both flights were eventually cancelled A week or so prior to each flight. Outbound was not such an issue since I was spending the night in Guangzhou with a friend (she personally delivered my International ticket because it was not an E-ticket) On the return leg, I was aware that the flight had been cancelled prior to leaving home and had been told I could check at the airline counter on arrival and they would sort out another flight. My arrival was mid evening and there were no staff on hand to help out, so I spent another night in Guangzhou at the airlines expense. Luckily I had a day up my sleeve but I spent half of it travelling. So short answer for you especially at the time of year you are arriving, is have your tickets in advance or risk missing out.
