Is Ctrip the best way to book domestic flights in China? Also what are your experiences flying within China and at the airports? I'm looking to do the following while in China: HKG-CAN ($130) Dragonair SZX-CKG ($109) Sichuan Airlines CKG-XIY ($61) China West Air XIY-PVG ($170) China Southern SHA-PEK ($178) China Eastern It's interesting how Kayak.com will report $195 for the same SZX-CKG flight. With all that said, thanks in advance for your help.

Instead of only SHA, you can also look into PVG-PEK, or go by overnight train. The train is definitely cheaper. Same goes for XIY-PVG, ovenight train would be cheaper.

Hi Ellyse, thanks for your input. I love to fly and check out different airports/airlines so hence the HKG-CAN and other connections. Let's just say when it comes airplanes I'm a nerd.

Would you or anyone else agree that Ctrip is the best and most reliable place to purchase domestic tickets online. I'd hate to get to the airport with a confirmation number and realize that one of them is not valid.
