        Update on the Bargain Airfare to China
        ======================================

Dear fellow Chinese students and scholars:

   The following are answers to commonly asked questions concerning
the China visit airfare program.

   The plane take off at 8:30 am on both Sunday (to Beijing) and
Tuesday (to Shanghai). You may come to L.A. the night
before the your scheduled departure from L.A. Hotel will be provided
free of charge. You will stay in Tokyo for about two hours and then
take CAAC to China.

   After your seat has been confirmed, you will be required to send
a non-refundable $50 in money order to PTS.

   After the ticket has been issued, it cannot be changed. Otherwise,
there will be some penalties. The return date may be open.

   This information will be stored in IFCSS.ORG ftp site in service
directory.

   The price has been slightly changed. In most cases, it has been 
lowered down further. (see the attached reference price list).

   IFCSS introduced this Visiting China Program in an effort to
promote the communication between Chinese students in the U.S. and
our homeland. This, we believe, will bring about positive changes
in China.
