what cheapoair is showing is almost half of what the travel agencies quoted me. However I ran into some concerns:
1. Lots of negetive reviews of cheapoair on Trip Advisor's forum.
2. China Eastern's local staff at LAX office said that the luggage will be checked from KTM - KMG only and need to be checked again from KMG - PVG. So, the travelers need to hold on to their luggage the whole night while layover at KMG.
3. Called their 24 hour hotline in China and got very vague answers. Staffs from LAX as well as China could not understand or communicate in English.
4. If intending to go to a hotel in KMG, one has to get Transit visa prior to traveling to China.
5. The official website of the airlines does not have much information.
5. The website of the NEW Kunming airport is all in Chinese. Even Google translate could not handle it! FYI, they moved to this new Kunming airport just a year ago.
6. No Airport Hotel at the new Kunming airport.
