DL Pulls Out of "Chinatown" Cheap Package to Asia Market

I was walking through SF Chinatown, looking at the mostly Chinese flyers in the windows for cheap packages to China. Some very good packages on Singapore, UA, but nothing listed for DL. I spoke with one of the agents, who told me that while NW was big into the Chinese ethnic package tour market, DL did not continue offering the discounted fares to tour packagers.

Bummer.

I see this as a thread more appropriate for Budget Travel or Asia Travel. This is one tough Moderator call.. My instinct says to forward this thread to the Asia Forum.

What about discounted Business Class tix that NW used to sell through the "Chinatown" TA market? For example, www.angeltravel.com, used to sell World Business Class roundtrips on NW USA-ASIA for fares in the $3000's. Has Delta kept that channel and pricing open?
