    Best website for booking flights from HK to Shanghai or Thailand?

    Some germans told me it was zuji.com

    Definitely much cheaper than expedia.com, but is it the cheapest?

    For cheapest:
    Air Asia to Thailand.
    China Spring to Shanghai, or go to Shenzhen and fly from there - ctrip, elong and travelzen will sort you out.

    if you go to Shanghai try elong.com departing from either HK or Shenzhen, they churn out connecting flight options as well, which are cheaper
    to Thailand go to Emirates directly it is the cheapest, to my best knowledge
    Zuji is a new site, I believe
    expedia also does a good job, depending on the destination but there is also a site called sidestep

    Is it that they operate with small aircraft ?

    Absolute rubbish. Started by the airlines probably at least 10 years ago and now part of Travelocity. I don't find it to be the cheapest.

    Never fly them without earplugs.
    They turn almost all flight into a promotional trip.
    They also have smaller handluggage measurements and give you a hard time over half a kilo too much. I will never fly them again.
    The planes are pretty nice though.

    No need to be insulting! Just a caution (to all of us) that just because we personally have not heard of something does not make it new. Zuji is "establishment" which is why it's not always cheap.

    EDIT - I was responding to the ORIGINAL post you made ... not the one that got quoted above!

    EDIT EDIT - That really is bizarre - the quote is also different to what appears in the box too. Clearly a glitch - now the box and the quote are the same.

    I find this site to have very good prices. Usually better than Zuji:

    China Spring have been around for a few years, but until recently it was hard to book their flights unless you had a Chinese bank account. Now I think they accept online credit card bookings.

    They do have some very attractive promotional offers, but unless you get that very cheap fare I would probably not fly with them. As others have said, they have quite strict luggage requirements.
