Booking Trans-Siberian tickets from Korea

Hi,

Has anyone used China Trip Advisor (http://www.chinatripadvisor.com/english/) to book Beijing-(via Mongolia)-Moscow tickets from Korea?

From the little research I've done, they appear to be reasonably priced as you can just buy the tickets, rather than a package incl. accommodation.

We're looking at heading off from Beijing around the end of May and I'm currently searching for a way to buy just the tickets before we leave Seoul so I can get our visas here (ie. that way I will have arrival/departure dates for our Russia visa application).

Thanks for any advice you might have!
