Jetstar to launch Guilin Flights; 12-Hour Promotion

Jetstar is, subject to regulatory approval, to launch flights between Singapore and Guilin, one of China’s most picturesque and popular tourist cities.

The twice weekly Singapore-Guilin A320 service, to commence on 3 November 2010, is Jetstar’s third mainland China route and sixth overall Chinese and Taiwan destination, in an expanding Chinese network.

Jetstar already operates daily services from Singapore to Hong Kong (up to three times daily), Taipei (daily) and Macau (daily) in addition to Haikou (4 times weekly) and Shantou (3 times weekly).

The new services to Guilin, situated in north-east Guangxi province, will provide direct access for travelers from, and through, Singapore to experience Guilin’s renowned natural scenery and outdoor leisure activity.

To celebrate the launch of Singapore-Guilin services, Jetstar is offering special all-inclusive one-way JetSaver Light fares from Sin$ 168.

The sale will commence at midday on Thursday, 26 August 2010 until midnight Thursday, 26 August 2010 unless seats sell out prior. Fares are not available on all flights, all days and are subject to availability. Sale fares are valid for travel between 16 February 2011 until 9 March 2011 and between 23 March 2011 and 25 May 2011. Terms and conditions apply.

“Guilin is a fantastic addition to our leisure network and provides yet another great Asian travel option for Singaporeans and connecting Jetstar, Qantas and international interline customers through our Singapore hub,” said Jetstar Asia Chief Executive Officer Ms Chong Phit Lian. “As a popular tourist destination welcoming 18 million visitors last year, Guilin until now it has only been accessible for Singaporeans transiting through cities such as Hong Kong, Bangkok or Kuala Lumpur ... The new Jetstar service at just over three and half hours will halve the current travelling time required from Singapore.”

Jetsaver Light one way fares all inclusive will start from Sin$299.
