The Groupon covers departure from LAX or SFO airports only, any airfare needed to get to these airports would be extra.

Kristi D. answered 5 months, 3 days, 1 hour, and 22 minutes ago

It is $320 fee to travel solo Jan-Mar; $360 Apr-Aug; and $420 Sep-Oct. This would be on top of the listed price.

Kristi D. answered 5 months, 3 days, 23 hours, and 39 minutes ago

The price of the package advertised is based on twin-sharing double occupancy basis. If a guest were to travel alone, and without a partner to share the hotel room, he/she would be considered as traveling "solo." All solo traveler will incur single supplement fee (or solo fee as mentioned) in addition to the charge. If you purchase this deal for two persons, you will not see the solo fee added during your Groupon checkout.

If you plan to travel beyond the special Groupon offer dates as specified in February and March 2013, say in your case when you plan to travel in July 2013, your purchase of the Groupon at $1199 is still worth a value of $1349 credit towards any of the future available same tour itinerary at www.AffordableAsia.com. For example, the peak-season July tours for this same itinerary will be at $1835, when you buy this Groupon for travels AFTER April 1, 2013, your pre-payment through Groupon purchase is worth a value of $1349, and you only need to pay a difference between $1835 and $1349, which is $486 for the July departure which is still a savings of $150.

Max C. answered 5 months, 3 days, 23 hours, and 7 minutes ago

This price is based on per person, double room occupancy basis. If you were to travel alone and made your purchase for only one person, you will occupy a single room throughout the trip and you will be charged a "solo fee" or single supplement fee.

Your purchase on Groupon WILL ALWAYS save you $150 from our offerings on our web site because your payment is always worth $1349 credit. All our prices clearly spell out the corresponding airlines' taxes, fees and fuel surcharges in full compliance with US Department of Transportation's rules and regulations. The advertised price on Groupon indicates the full total price inclusive of these charges, taxes and fees. There is nothing else to pay other than your optional local tours you may select during your redemption, your visa application fee (if you so wish to be handled by us), your personal expenses during the trip and your discretionary gratuities for the excellent guides who service you in China.

Max C. answered 5 months, 2 days, 22 hours, and 22 minutes ago

April 26 departure is valued at $1535. Your Groupon is valued at $1349. You have to pay an extra of $186 upon redemption of your Groupoon certificate... still a savings of $150 from normal retail at our web site.

Max C. answered 5 months, 2 days, 22 hours, and 4 minutes ago

Please see the details of the available dates and prices after April 1, 2013 at this link: http://www.affordableasia.com/vacation-packages/china-discovery-10-days-8-nights/itinerary Remember, your pre-purchase is worth a $1349 credit value towards the total price listed.

Max C. answered 5 months, 2 days, 21 hours, and 52 minutes ago

You have purchased a credit value of $1349 for future travel dates beyond 4/1/2013 for a price of $1199 - and that's a savings of $150 per person. The $1349 valued price in exchange for your $1199 expenditure is for specific departures in February specially catered for Groupon customers that may be still available. These are all clearly listed. Tours beyond 4/1/2013 are priced differently based on seasonality of airfares and cannot forever be at $1349 value. If you wish to travel at $1349 value by paying $1199, please do not redeem and instead refund from Groupon and buy what is available for departures in February where available.

You wii need to purchase 5voucher from groupon for option 24 and when you come to book with us, you need to book 4adult and one child with us in same booking using two rooms. For the 5 yrs old if he does not need an extra bed, then his rate will be 20pc off on adult tour fare but no discount on fuel surcharge and taxes, for the one year old,our system is not equipped to accept infant booking, so we have to do it manually and the price for infant is 25pc of adult tour fare and no fuel surcharge or taxes and we can use the credit from the child to apply to the infant charge and you pay the balance
