My friend Mary took a travel to Canada and USA. She set up from Shanghai, by way of Guangzhou. She took Guangzhou Flights and Guangzhou Hotels there. The route from China to North America is Guangzhou, Los Angeles, Vancouver, Los Angeles, Guangzhou. She chose the China South Airline with the single route cost 1199RMB. It was totally more than 5000RMB with the tax.
How much to pay from China to USA? At least 10000RMB, but this time it only costs about 1000RMB. So Mary set up immediately. She had a good friend in Vancouver, so she preferred to spend a good holiday there. There were so many North America airline companies and many airports in a city. While on the top of the searching page, there were prices ranking of flight with or without stops. The key point was the airlines tickets at that time were without tax. So with the chance Mary took the USA Mainland Airline and USA Compound Airline, the price totally was 299 dollars. Maybe it was cheap to book in America, but Mary was in China at that time.
When Mary arrived in Los Angeles, she went to the famous Melrose shopping street, but it was far away from what she had expected. The road was wide but the cars were roaring all the time. However the dwelling houses were as beautiful as it was showed in America TV series. The second stop was in the Hollywood Universal Studio, where the whole world’s movie fans were dreaming for. Mary was playing there for a whole day and had a great time. The most attractive part was fireworks in the evening, with the castles of Disney land around, Mary felt she was a princess.
When she arrived in Va
ncouver, she lived in her best friend’s house. The house was located in the seaside. There was a snow mountain over the sea. In the morning, there were lots of birds around the gate finding food. It was like living in the dream. This was the 2010year Winter Olympic being held.
There was still on thing to make Mary unhappy. Because she mistaken the first name and the last name. So Mary contacted the airline company as soon as possible. The airline company said that the name would not be corrected but they could add a remark. Although the process was not that smooth, but she got on board finally.
TIPS：
1 when booking tickets on foreign websites, the name order should not be written with mistakes, first name was the given name on the passport, last name was the surname on the passport. For Chinese, there is no need to write the middle name.
2 there are many airline companies to avoid defraud with credit cards, the people on 
board must include the holder who had using it to book on line. So be careful if you have this kind of question.
3many people think that it is not easy to take a self-help trip to USA, for the visa is not easy to get. Actually, it is not that difficult, for I have prepared a lot of materials for applying for visas, but the visa officer only watched the magazines with my traveling pictures and articles and said ok. He even did not ask my income and housing estate identifications. The price for visa is about 943RMB.
