Hi Guys

urgent advice needed. i've read through this thread but i need a more updated information. anyway, here's a potential problem i face. I will be arriving HZ via Airasia on the 2nd of Aug at around 1:10pm, i need to get to SH on the same day, as soon as possible. I was told by my friend it's very hard to get either a train or bus ticket to SH now because of the world expo.

Airasia shuttle service - i heard they will sell the ticket during the flight, but i cant bank on this, imagine what's going to happen if tickets aren't available for whatever reasons. The shuttle will depart at 2:15pm (from the HZ Xiaoshan airport i guess). Is there a way to buy the shuttle ticket in advance? i couldnt do that via airasia website.

Train - my friend said i have to pre-book and pick up the ticket a day in advance. how am i suppose to do that when i don't know anyone in HZ.

Other bus services - absolutely no idea. seen some info here and there but most are posted before the world expo. have to put this event into consideration.

really appreciate if anyone can help. taxi is not an option as it costs a bomb, which defeat the purpose of me flying on budget airline

Thanks a million
