Cathay woos visitors to Bangkok and Singapore

Cathay Pacific has laid out a spread of Smart Saver Summer Specials to tempt bargain hunters to Bangkok and Singapore where they can shop till they drop and bring home their bounty with a sizable baggage allowance of 30 kg.

Holiday-makers can make use of the incredible fares to enjoy the enticing sights and fun-packed offers that enthrall the young and the not so young.

Both fares exclude taxes and ticketing continues up to end of June. Passengers have time to take advantage of this amazing offer and fly out on or before July 31.

Cathay's conveniently timed flights from Colombo means one can arrive in Bangkok or Singapore very early in the day and also late departures, giving enough time to enjoy shopping or sight-seeing.

In Bangkok you have a choice of fabulous shopping malls and outdoor markets with great opportunities to bargain. The choice is vast and the prices are attractive.

Many visitors to Singapore come with a view to seeing the sights rather than going on a bargain-hunting binge, but find the famous Orchard Road with clothes, shoes, electronics goods and cosmetics quite irresistible.

"Cathay always keeps the needs of passengers in mind and offers frequency of flights as well as convenient time schedules. This is truly advantageous, whether you are flying out for business or for pleasure" Sales and Marketing Manager for Cathay Pacific Airways Colombo Ruhan Abbas said. "If you're a shopaholic, you may want to time your visit to Singapore to coincide with the mid-year Great Singapore Sale" she advised "Bangkok also has fantastic shopping malls plus great cultural attractions."
