If you cannot find your flights in here try CTRIP. Remember that buying train tickets is not always easy, you sometimes have to book a few days ahead. To book trains in advance I would use a travel agent, though there is a fee. I travel slowly so I can normally book my own

GUEST50231	What is the difference between the D trains, the X trains and the T trains when traveling from Shanghai to Beijing. What would be mot recommended for a person on a budget that doesn't want to be TOO uncomfortable (ie: I would like air conditioning and a soft seat to sit on) I would really truly appreciate a response to my email dal.ca\|smcnaugh Thank you.

There're no X trains, did you perhaps refer to the Z trains? These are no longer running for the Shanghai -- Beijing route.
For your requirements, you might want to consider the daytime D train. Seats go for 452/542 RMB for 2nd/1st-class each way, journey time 9.5 hours.
Otherwise, if you want to go overnight, take the T trains which take 13.5 hours. If you're lucky enough to get hard sleeper (usually very difficult to get) then it would cost 306/317/327 for upper/middle/lower bunk. Otherwise, the soft sleeper would cost 478/499 RMB for upper/lower bunk.

I think they cost >100 USD each, but can't remember the exact amount at the moment. If you need me to help with buying those tickets, email me at yahoo.com\|ellyse99 and put "TravelChinaGuide" in the subject line, thanks.
