[quote=JABAROOTOO,263146]All airfares within China increase by at least 40% or more just before, and during Spring Festival Week so it is a good idea to fly a few days earlier than the majority and take advantage of more availability and lower prices. Chinese domestic fares are always a little more if they a purchased through International Travel Agencies. I find the same thing when purchasing tickets from OZ. It is the system not China. You can always get great discounted tickets within China regardless of your nationality. Prices are strictly governed and you rarely get 'ripped off' here outside of the hiked up prices for the 'Golden Week' holidays. Everyone gets stung on those. So you have the luxury of avoiding the peak period and so avoiding the peak prices. Always check fares from Shenzhen and Guangzhou as suggested above. They are usually cheaper and there are many options everyday. If you are not on a tight schedule you can take your pick. I've said before that the prices quoted on the above links are often more than what you pay over the counter from an agent but there are still some great discounted fares on offer - up to 40% off if you book online.[/quote]
