Delta Deals to the US for Christmas; Cathay Pacific Opens New Lounge in Taipei

It's suddenly gone a bit quiet in the travel world. Although a Ctrip and a few airlines offered deals for Singles Day, the day still seems to be about retail goods rather than a generalized consumer frenzy.

You can still access some good deals to the US from Delta Airlines through the end of Thursday, while seats last. Roundtrip to the US west coast from Beijing is as low as RMB 1,111, not including tax and fees, and to the east coast for RMB 1,411, with the same conditions. Most important are the blackout dates from China: January 1-13, February 1-11, 2016. That means Christmas is not limited. That's cool, again, if the fares are still available. More information and booking is available here.

Cathay Pacific Airlines opened its new lounge at Taipei's Taoyuan Airport on Wednesday. It features, among other creature comforts, bubble tea for visiting passengers. Yes, that's how desperate we are for items this particular Thursday.

Here's hoping for more news on Tuesday. One road flat safe.
