Travelzoo just published a package to India that's a pretty amazing deal. For $999 (based on double occupancy), you'll get nonstop, roundtrip airfare to Delhi, a whole bunch of tours, ground transportation in India, and five nights in 4-star hotels.

While we've yet to cover Newport, RI, this oceanside town is an
easy bus ride from New York, and the perfect place to escape the city year round.
Luckily, we've just found out that one of its fanciest hotels -
The Chanler, a mansion-style property - is 25% off rack rates for the rest of the year. The catch? You need to make reservations by the end of this month.
That said, planning ahead is a small price to pay for this veritable boutique property - the Chanler only has 20 rooms - that overlooks the Atlantic Ocean. …
For the first time in forever, I'm flying on an international flight and it won't be
American Airlines - after years of being Platinum (their 2nd-highest elite frequent flyer level), I've learned I've just been downgraded to Gold.
Ah, the irony of running a travel site - you spend more time in front of a computer than on a plane!
