China - The quest for cheap domestic flights

Ltko6070 on 11/10/2013 - 21:27

I'll be travelling to China March next year and have booked my flights to Hong Kong(airasia), and then a couple weeks in China and flying out of Beijing to KL (airasia).

So far my searching for flights from HKG -PVG Shanghai have given me less than impressive results, mostly the cheapest per person at ~200 one way. I also need to book flights from PVG - CTU or perhaps a train, and CTU - PEK flights.

Can anyone provide me with sites that offer 'domestic priced' flight I feel I'm getting taken for a ride! excuse the pun…

    Have you tried Spring Airlines?

    MU (China Eastern) has HKG -> PVG -> CTU for $280<

    Also, do keep in mind that Jetstar Hong Kong will be commencing their operations soon, so keep you eyes peeled as their 'launch' fares are often very cheap.

    I booked flights from Australia to China + 3 domestic flights + China back to Australia from a travel agency. And they said that my domestic flights were 'free + airport taxes and stuff'. I'm not sure what that means, but I got a return trip + 3 domestic flights for $1.2k in total. I'm flying southern china airline for all the trips, maybe that's got something to do with my 'free domestic flights'.

      That's good price. Which agency do you use?

        Hi! Sorry I didn't know you replied. I used Holiday Xperience located in Boxhill, VIC. Prior to purchasing, I went around other asian travel agencies to look at different options, and all of the prices were quite similar.

    ctrip.com

      Ctrip is good, like how phat mentioned. Two other big companies would be Travelzen and eLong. These three would have the best prices, imo.

        Yes. I used eLong and Ctrip before. They are both good and they have been in the market for a long time.

    Spring Airlines looks good! about ~100 including taxes and luggage. Ctrip is good, but it can't find flights from Shanghai to Beijing? is it that people don't fly that route? I'd thought it would be a very busy route.

    I think people take the high speed train.

    Also I'm flying Dragon Air from HK to Shanghai soon. I paid around AU$350 for the return ticket.
