  • Tour Fare: Fares are in U.S. funds, per person, based on double occupancy.
     
  • Additional Costs: China visa processing fee, add-on airfare from your home city to Air China gateway (SFO or JFK) where applicable, optional travel insurance is additional to the tour fare. The gratuities of $8 per traveler per travel day to cover your tour guides, drivers, and porters are recommended and are at your discretion.
     
  • Special Promotion (Discount): From time to time, we run special promotion (as specified in the above "Discount" column). Depending on the tour and the time you book, additional savings may be available if your deposit payment is received before the booking deadline. Due to the popularity of this tour and the limited inventory of group seats, the tour fare and promotion discount are subject to change and will be assessed and adjusted at the middle and the end of each month.
     
  • Cash Discount Rate: A $200 per person deposit is required to secure a reservation and is payable by credit card or personal check. To take advantage of the cash discount rate, you must pay the balance due by personal check or money order. The balance payment is due 50 days prior to the departure date. The cash discount is not affected by how you pay the initial deposit.

    Unless otherwise stated you will be billed for the "Cash Discount Rate" as specified in your tour invoice. The credit card payment adds $200 on top of "Cash Discount Rate" per person. Please contact us at least one week prior to the balance payment due date if you would like to make the balance payment by a credit card, by doing so you are NOT eligible for the cash discount rate.
     
  • Flight Routing: Air inclusive packages start in San Francisco (flight duration 12 hours) or New York JFK (flight duration 13 ½ hours) to Beijing, which is Air China's hub. On the return day, you will be flying from Shanghai via Beijing to San Francisco or New York JFK. The Shanghai-Beijing flight is 2 hours 20 minutes and is part of the through fare for air inclusive packages. You can check your baggage through to SFO or JFK from Shanghai.
