Well, I did it.
I finally went ahead and booked a pair Economy Plus tickets for JY and me to travel to Shanghai at the end of September.
The EPA pass purchase went rather quickly, I was able to book my E+ seats the very next day. It’s not business class, but with the addtional 4-5″ leg room, I think we’ll manage just fine.
We met with our friend Alex and Jay today over lunch. Alex just came back from China, and he brought back tons of digital photos that he graciously shared with us. There are so much changes happenning everywhere in China. Shanghai especially, looks like a modern metropolis.
Alex got us excited about our trip, hopefully we can keep blogging while we are in Shanghai to share our trip with you guys.
BTW, a good United Aireline ticket consolidator in the bay area that we used for our UA tickets is May’s Travel in Oakland CA, here is her (May, the owner) phone number: 510-832-7128. May has access to low-price UA tickets, although they are still more expensive that Air China tickets, UA seats are slightly bigger, and they offer the E+ seats. From my dealings with her, she seemed honest and helpful.
Jay, thanks for the baby bath tub, it’s just the thing to get the job done.
