In-country Flights - buy tickets prior to arriving in China?

Should we buy our tickets prior to arriving in China (can you even do this?)? Or should we wait until we are in China.

I expect to buy tickets from Shanghai or Hangzhuo to Guilin and from Guilin to Hong Kong.

From your previous posts you seem determined to visit Xian and/or Guilin. Why not do them both? Since you fly all the way across the Pacific, spend a few more days in China and you wont regret it. Air travel in China is becoming more convenient and very affordable. You can check out www.elong.com or www.ctrip.com for the domestic flights within China. They offer e-tickets. You can book with them with you credit cards. Concerned about security with your credit cards, just think how many times you%26#39;ve used it at the restaurants. Hope this helps. O yes, book before you leave, or you can take your chance after you are in China. Some hotels have business centers and they can help you get your tickets.
