Win a Year’s Worth of Free Travel on Jetstar Asia

To commemorate Jetstar Asia’s inaugural services between Penang and Singapore, the low cost airline has launched a “JetSaver Light Challenge” where contestants have a chance to win a year’s worth of free travel from Penang to Singapore.

Jetstar commenced an inaugural daily service to Singapore on the 1 July 2009 and has plans to expand this to a double daily service on 1 October 2009.

The new low fare A320 services will grow Jetstar’s weekly flights between Singapore and Malaysia up to 88 times weekly, and entrenches Malaysia as the biggest travel market for Jetstar from Singapore.

Jetstar also operates to Kuala Lumpur (double daily), Kota Kinabalu and Kuching from Singapore.

Jetstar is inviting value-savvy intrepid travelers to enter to be one of 20 lucky participants in the JetSaver Light Challenge.

The JetSaver Light Challenge will involve ten teams of two flying to Singapore to see how they can creatively experience Singapore on RM70 a day – the savings gained by travelling JetSaver Light.

The participant with the most exciting and creative itinerary with given budget of RM70 will win a year of free flights from Penang to Singapore.

JetSaver Light is Jetstar’s new fare class which allows travelers with only 10 kilograms of carry on baggage, to fly for RM35 less per flight.

Jetstar Asia and Valuair CEO Ms Chong Phit Lian said Jetstar’s new Singapore service provided a great new value driven short break experience.

“Singapore is a perfect short break destination for Malaysians and with our even lower JetSaver Light fares, budget breaks are now even more accessible,” Ms Chong said. “With Singapore’s famous fantastic cheap hawker food, affordable public transport and great attractions like Sentosa, we have no doubt the participants will have a great opportunity to show how much fun can be had on a budget flying with Jetstar.”

All competition participants will stay at the Grand Mercure Roxy in Singapore.

“Singapore has never been more affordable to visit than right. With an ever expanding number of routes by Jetstar – has also never been more affordable to get to” added Evan Lewis Communications VP for Accor Hotels. “The cost of accommodation in Singapore has come to a level that will now appeal to whole new travel market, that may have previously sought alternative destinations.”

Entry details and the competition terms and conditions are available here. Applications will close at 11.59 pm on 12th July 2009.

Challenge participants will be chosen by 14th July 2009 for travel on 18th -19th July 2009.
