Hong Kong Airlines flight giveaway opens Monday, with free fares from city to Japan, South Korea, Thailand
Hong Kong Free Press
Hong Kong Airlines will launch its free flight giveaway at 10 am on Monday, with round-trip tickets to destinations in Japan, Indonesia and South Korea available – the latest phase of a campaign aimed at rebooting tourism after the industry was crippled by years of Covid restrictions.
Open to people living in Hong Kong, Hong Kong Airlines is giving away complimentary are fares to over 20 Asian destinations from August 7 on a first come, first served basis. Those who succeed in booking tickets will be expected to pay all taxes, surcharges, and any other relevant fees.
Flights must be booked through a dedicated webpage.
Destinations in Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, mainland China, Thailand, and Vietnam are included in the Hong Kong Airlines campaign, which is part of the Airport Authority Hong Kong’s “World of Winners” promotion. In all, flights for half a million tourists and 80,000 residents are being offered to boost post-pandemic tourism.
Monday’s giveaway follows one from HK Express aimed at Hong Kong residents last month. In April, flagship carrier Cathay Pacific gave away return tickets to those living in the Greater Bay Area, and several rounds of air fare giveaways were held earlier this year for international tourists to win tickets to visit Hong Kong.
Winners of earlier phases of the giveaway told HKFP that the taxes they were asked to pay were steeper than expected.
