China Travel Forum

I am off to China end of April for 2weeks. We are thinking of flying in and out of Beijing and want to organise internal flights to/from Shanghi, does anyone know how easy this would be to organise before/during our trip and the cost?
We are weighing this up against getting a multi-ticket that flies into Beijing and out of Shanghi but correct costs are high so its looking cheaper to get a return to Beijing and sort internal flights once there.

Thanks

you can book airtickets through some Chinese travel agencies if you are in the US or UK
they can offer quite cheap tickets for multi-stops
one of my friends flew from NYC to Beijing, then traveled to Shanghai, then back to NYC, no more than $900
the tix price between Beijing/Shanghai is about 900 RMB for one way trip
if you book in advance, you can get some discount...sometimes 70% off
but there's no good deal at the end of April, because May 1st is the Labour's Day, and people would have one week off
which makes a peak time for airlines.
