Cheap flights to China

Can someone supply me with the name of a travel agent that will book flights based

on the itinerary generated from matrix\ita website ?

Thanks

I don't think there is an online agency that does what you are looking for.

My suggestion is to book your to and return flight directly from the airline you wish to use in the USA.

Then book the internal flights with Ctrip.com for the best prices. You can fly anywhere in China for about 100USD. If you book through and agent of a US Airline you will get a much higher price.

If you are flying her to the USA buy the 2 way ticket and don't use the return flight. You'll save a few hundred that way.

Caution if you end up booking segments of a single flight at different time and from different sources. If the first segment gets delayed and you miss the second segment you may not be entitled to a refund or replacement flight.

When you book all the segments together, even if you end up on different airlines, most airlines will treat it as one overall flight and will work harder to get you to the end if you get on the first flight. If you do book separate flights make each airline aware of the booking record locater code.

The first time I became aware of this potential problem was when my Me and my now ex-wife booked flights using frequent flyer miles. I used mine and she used hers. It was booked about 3 months in advance. Later one of the segmenst we were on changed and they had to move me off of that flight to another. They did not move my wife. They did not realize we were flying together because our record locator code were not linked to each other. It was a simple fix, took about 5 mins on the phone. The aliline linked the 2 so our two sepperat booking would be treated as one.
