        New York, December 2007 -- Vacations to China are normally a West Coast departure with tour operators offering add-on airfares -- Pacific Delight Tours is offering a unique special – the seven-day air-inclusive “Beijing SuperValue” package with non-stop flights aboard United Airlines out of Washington D.C.’s Dulles Airport at prices from $1,168 to $1,558 per person, double; and from NY, connecting in Dulles, from $1,088 to $1,478.  Eleven other winter specials, ranging from the popular 10-day “Three Gorges Yangtze River” itinerary to the luxury 19-day “Classic China & Yangtze River”, are being offered with discounts to add-on fares from 23 Eastern seaboard cities.  Normally adding $160 to $320 to the price, the special arrangement with United Airlines has dropped those rates to $60 to $220, saving up to $400 per couple.  Offers are good on new bookings made by Dec. 20, 2007.  Fuel surcharges are included in the price; government-imposed taxes and fees, including the 9/11 Security Fee of up to $155, are additional.  Prices are subject to change.
