You can buy ticket at airport in cash, but there is a possibility that ticket price is higher. I am not sure if you can pay online without credit card, but as a Chinese airline, Wechat and Alipay should work too. The free checked luggage is 20kg per person and travelers need to be at airport 2 hours in advance for boarding process. If you buy a ticket there, you need even longer time.

What the difference between domestic 1st class and in international 1st class
I’m planing to fly from SHA to PEK on Air China B747 when I booked I noticed that 1st class is cheaper than business class so do I get a 1st class seat or business class seat?

1st class seat for domestic flights are still the best seat, better then business class. For domestic routes, some times there are very good discount offered. So the 1st class can even cheaper than business class. If you booked the 1st class, you will get 1st class.

Usually it should be 23kg X 2 pieces based on the general policy, but it may different in detailed route and ticket price etc. You may double confirm this with airlines directly.
