Best website to book a Chinese domestic Sichuan Airlines flight?

[RSD]

Someone please help me - I'm having complete brain block tonight! I've never flown on Sichuan Airlines before (had never heard of them until 10 minutes ago), but they are the cheapest of the three carriers offering a non-stop flight from Shenyang to Chengdu and it is too far to use the train. What is the best website to use to book the flight with them? Their own website or ?

EDIT: Please ignore request - I have managed to bumble crash and stumble my way through the booking process on Sichuan's website and now have an e-ticket!

In case you have issues with other Chinese airlines, usually any OTA (like trip.com) is fine too

trip.com is easy to use.

Agree, trip.com is good for anything in China

Bets option for train fares too? That is my next task!

Trip.com is good for trains re ease of use, but they do come at a premium fare wise, 12306 CHINA RAILWAY is the clunky official site

Cheers - I might do Trip.com and hope the premium isn't too much!

The premium for trains on Trip is not that significant in A$ terms - the big advantage with Trip is their competent English speaking support if reqd

That is always nice to have!

Be aware that often the train stations in the North of the cities will be called xx_ bei, first time I travelled to Shenzhen North it was announced as Shenzhen Bei, Bei being Mandarin for North.

Many thanks - very handy to know! I've finally managed to locate on a map where one of the train stations is - some of the stations can be hard to pin down where they are!

Hotel locales can be an issue as well, Google and Apple Maps are often inaccurate, again trip.com was very good in pinpointing locales as far as hotels and their proximity to subways.
