Who paid for the plane tickets to Shanghai, and why did it all seem to take so little time?
For Clark and Lana? Lionel loaned them the Luthor Corp. jet. 'Cause while Lex cleaned out Lionel's bank accounts earlier in the season, and Lionel's living in Lex's pool house or whatever for lack of rental funds, apparently Lex left the keys to the jet on the counter in the foyer.
Who bought Jason's ticket? Lionel?
I'm not sure about Jason. He's on Lex's payroll now, isn't he? But I don't know how it pays or if he's even been working for Lex long enough to get a paycheck. He might have just charged it. Considering his family background, Jason may well have a serious credit line.

I thought he took the job at the high school because he got cut off.
It was weird -- like he left Lana's apartment that morning, and called her from Shanghai at noon, no worries.

"Cut off" is kinda vague, though. He could have had his income cut off and had the sense to get a job rather than live on his own credit cards until they were maxed out. Or it could be he lost all access to funds -- real and credit-- and this is just more of SV's famous continuity.
Cut off is my vagueness in statement, not theirs. What I took from the ep was that he was left to fend on his own. They didn't state losing the credit cards -- it's just part of the 'TV financial abandonment' package default in my head.
I seem to remember Jason's fiscal situation being described about as vaguely as "cut off". Although my memory is hindered by the fact that I'm attempting crochet during the show and watching with other folks, and sometimes our mocking can get in the way of catching every word.
I think that Lex must have paid Jason's way. I have no idea how Lana and Clark got there. Boy, those Kansas farm boy allowances must be bigger than I realized.
It was a fun episode. Very amusing. I thought that the person that Swann said had the stone was the Margot Kidder character.
ION, BSG!!! Season 2!!!! This Summer!!!!

How could Jason sneak off to Shanghai with Lex paying his way?
Jason killed a guy and stole his money.
Hey, it could happen.
