It is cheap + ok. Problem is they dont transfer your baggage. You have to claim it in transit and transfer it yourself and that also only before 2 hours of your next flight.

I went in August, its cheap but comes with hassle as you have to check out and check in your luggage in two cities, Shanghai and Kunming. If you are travelling with toddler, I don't recommend. However, if the other airlines are pretty expensive and you can save, 3-4 hundreds on this, you can try. There will be Bangali guys waiting in Kunmin once you get out from Airport, they will take you to their hotel, provide dinner and room, then drop you to the airport in the next morning just in $20, not bad..huh.. This is ok for youngster with no kid but its up to you.

If the total duration of your flight is more than 24 hours, you have to check out luggage in Kunming and check in next morning. But that is not an issue.  As soon as you check out your luggage in Kunming, you will see Bangladesi guys waving/whistling at you. They are very honest and good people.    They will take you to their motel, cook you dinner, breakfast and next day drop you at the airport all at cost of 100 RNB. Very cheap for such a great service.    Next day after they drop you will see all the nepalese in the airport, just follow them. Their is absolutely nothing to worry about. I just travelled 1 month ago and I was worried like you.  I dont think there is any trouble traveling with family.    Enjoy your trip.
