Dear Jayne Lacey

Many thanks for your interest into our service. My name is Tina Chan, your personal tour consultant from TopChinaTravel. It's my pleasure to assist planning your trip to China.

We have well received your tour enquiry regarding the trip from Shanghai to Lhasa in early October.

We are happy to arrange the flight, tours and Tibet permit for you. So how long do you want to stay in Lhasa and what kind of hotel do you prefer. After the above info are given, we will tailored made you the tour itinerary with quotation via email.

As for the flight ticket from Shanghai to Lhasa on Oct 2, as far as I can see, there is only the first class seat left which the flight rate is about US$910/per ticket. That is due to the golden holiday from Oct 1-5, that's why the flight ticket is really popular. So what about delay your travel date 3 to 6 days later to avoid the golden holiday? So that you can get a economic seat from Shanghai to Lhasa and a enjoyable tour without crowed.

Hope the above info is clear and helpful. Please feel free to contact me for any questions about your tour.

Best regards

Tina Chan
