Help needed....should I book flights now?
 
Hi everyone....

I wish to book 2 flights from Shenzen/Hong KOng to Beijing and also Beijing to Zhuhai/Macau?
Can anyone aasure me how to book internal flights in China? Are there any airline websites I can check their airfare? Which are those which have great offers?

Is it possible to book now? or online?

Thanks.

I suppose you ahve a reason for going to beijing first although it doesn't seem logical.

Here's an email address of the travel agent i used in china

i think you'll find that all airlines will charge about the same money but will also give between 50-80% discounts off their full fare. I have never been able to get the bigger discounts by booking early so i;d say you need to check prices regularly.

Without any more information its ahrd to say anything more

We booked some sectors with www.chinatravelone.com. They came up with excellent prices for air & hotel bookings. Hope they can help you. Good luck!

For flights out of Hong Kong, try tiglion.com

For other Chinese flights, try ctrip.com

I've not used either.

Thanks so much for the info... I will check out and compare price first.

I plan to fly from Shenzhen to Beijing on 9 July and Beijing to Zhuhai or Macau on 12 July. Special thanks to rkkwan for previous suggestions too. I also read a posting that says it's possible to book the internal flight when I'm in Hong Kong. My only worry is that will the price changes (goes up)a week before the departure date or what if it is fully booked??

Prices usually stay about the same, perhaps until just before departure. Since I believe you have a few days in Hong Kong before going to Beijing, and a few days in Beijing before flying back to Macau, you're fine.

Thanks again for your assurance... rkkwan!
