This looks like bookable without the hefty surcharge, at least for now.

Edit: The A350 is scheduled to fly between DTW and PEK in Jan 2018. Available from YWG/YYC/YEG and possibly other cities too.

The bl
gs have picked up on this, so if you want it, book quickly.
The min stay requirement makes this hard for me to jump on. Ah screw it, I booked it. Outbound on 2/27. I've never been to China! We'll see later today if I keep this or come to my senses and cancel/refund it.
I'm seeing the A350 through February. Goes away sometime in March.

Remember that USA (and many other) citizens will need a visa for this.

Check equipment carefully, seeing lots of 330 in January. One-way search DTW-PEK in ITA using "aircraft t:359" only shows every other day beginning 1/17. Daily from 2/23 onward.

The appeal of this deal is it's on the A350 which Delta has plans to levy hefty surcharges on to be able to fly.

Cheaper with Amex, $1826
I booked this 1/17-1/24 through Amex Travel. As a Plat member (or anyone?) I was able to get IAP pricing, bringing the fare down to $1826.
There is typically a $39 booking fee, however they waived it for me because no Delta flights were showing on the Amex web booking portal.

The min. stay requirement of 7 days (6 days with the date change on the outbound flight) is what's holding me back from booking it. I have been to China a ton.
Flight delays =/= visa/customs
Not out of DTW they are not. That said, UA can get you to PEK from YYZ for a hundred dollars higher transiting through EWR (likewise, a direct flight would be thousands more).
As far as other *A A350 routes depart/arrive from North America, I think only OZ (ICN-SFO), LH (MUC-BOS), SQ (SIN-SFO) have them at this point.

Aircraft code
Bless you for sharing how to do this. I'll be d@mned if I see "aircraft" as an option when I click on the ? icon for the routing/faring code list. If there is a more comprehensive list of routing/faring options I'd be indebted if you would please share it?

There's also this FT thread:

and the wiki at the top of that thread has links to a bunch of other tips/tricks threads. Happy reading!
