Phuket, Kota Kinabalu, Shanghai and Hangzhou top the list of popular
destinations with travellers on Dragonair over the Lunar New Year holiday
period, when the airline will operate 65 additional flights.
Among the other cities seeing additional services and aircraft upgrades between
January 15 and February 2 are Shanghai, Kota Kinabalu and Phuket.
"The attractions of sun and sea are as popular as ever over the holidays, which
is why we will be operating more flights to Phuket and Kota Kinabalu and using
larger aircraft on our Bangkok route," said Chief Executive Officer Stanley
Hui.
"Equally popular is Shanghai, with all the attractions it has to offer, as well as the
opportunity to celebrate the start of the Year of the Monkey with family and
friends. Hangzhou, famous for its historic sites, is not far behind."
Flights to Dragonair's two Taiwan destinations - Taipei and Kaohsiung - have
also been increased to meet the demand from business people heading home
from their businesses in the Mainland to be with their family.
"We will operate a total of seven more services to Taiwan over the holidays as a
result of demand mainly from business travellers," Mr. Hui said.
"With the large number of people travelling over the holiday period we advise
passengers to arrive at the airport in good time to clear check-in, immigrations
and customs procedures.
"Dragonair wishes all its passengers an enjoyable holiday and a very happy Year
of the Monkey."
With effect from January 9, the airport
tax at Hong Kong International Airport will rise to $120. |
