Flight Shanghai to Beijing - is $510 rmb + tax a good price?

My friend says she can get us flights at $510 rmb (plus 130 tax) for Shanghai to Beijing.

Is this a good price? It looks like it is a good price on Ctrip and Elong but I have heard that the tickets can be cheaper in China.

I%26#39;m unclear on all this as I have heard the tickets are cheaper in China. Is that because they are last minute flights? Is the price actually the same price as the websites but just the last minute price?

When are you flying? That%26#39;s not low enough if you%26#39;re flying sometime in the near future.

the fare is very good. As far as I know, there is cheaper ticket less than this price, but not always you can get it.

yes, it%26#39;s a good price but not the lowest one.

the price depends on what day you need it.

sometime it can be lower to 340RMB...

We waited too long and the special is gone.

In general, is it best to book the tickets online within the week you are traveling? Do travel agents in China have better prices?

i have just looked up discount china airline tickets. there are tickets for $340 rmb plus tax available. this is a good site, similar to elong.

What is the website? Our trip isn%26#39;t until July so I know we are pretty far out.

Geez, that%26#39;s too far in advance to be looking for realistic prices. When are you travelling in July? Private message me if you want me to keep an eye on the prices for you.
