I haver had good luck at 9588.com. They accepted my American Express wit h no problem and will also take Visa and MC - not sure about Discover. Recieved an immediate email confirmation for the reservation.

The price of my flight Xian to Lhasa was less expensive than at ctrip.com and elong.com.

Good l uck.

Try elong.com First comparison shop at all three sites. Then if elong is ok, you go through a bit of an exercise in getting an emailed charge authorization form, signing it and faxing it or creating a pdf file and sending it back to them. Trust me, it is well worth the savings of up to 50% off the list prices shown on western internet travel sites.

Hi bella

I booked with China Southern direct without to much of a problem. I needed to register as a member first. We got a fantastic deal for our flight from Zhuhai to Beijing (even considerabley better than elong and ctrip were offering at the time) so hope it all goes ok. I paid with Mastercard. Not sure about Visa or Diners but you can check it out.
