If you want to travel the world with your family, one of the best saving tips is to plan for your destination several months ahead. This allows you to not only save up but take advantage of promo fares. Take note that promo fares are not just limited to local destinations and neighboring countries anymore.
For instance, Singapore Airlines and MasterCard will offer all-inclusive round trip promotional fares for destinations like Dubai, Australia, New Zealand, and Europe. Here is a list for the Economy Class promo fares starting July 8:
Singapore USD180
Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Hong Kong USD230
Cambodia, Myanmar USD250
Dubai, Australia USD600
India, Maldives, Nepal, Sri Lanka USD650
Europe, South Africa USD850
New Zealand, Amriaca USD950
There are also premium economy and business class fares available. The travel period is from July 8 to March 31, 2017. Now you have to also remember that some of these countries require travel VISA so book dates that give you enough time to process this requirement.
How to book promo tickets
To avail this particular promo from Singapore Airlines, you must have the following:
1. Any MasterCard credit card which you will use in paying for your tickets
2. KrisFlyer membership – you can sign up for FREE anytime at krisflyer.com
On July 8, Singapore Airlines will announce the promo code on their Facebook Page. Once you get the promo code, you can now book your promo tickets online starting July 8 at www.singaporeair.com. I recommend doing this online versus braving the Travel Madness Expo on July 8-10 at the SMX Convention Center.
I am currently saving for a trip to Australia, it’s not the cheapest destination but my sisters are all there. The promo fares being offered by Singapore Airlines are indeed very attractive. Plus, I like how their economy class is a lot more comfortable compared to other airlines. Theirs have generous leg room and an LCD screen.
I flew to Sydney once (8 hours) for work and it was a relaxing flight even for someone who is afraid to fly like me. I slept very well and when I was awake, I distracted myself with shows available in the Krisworld Flight Entertainment. I heard that some flights even have Internet connectivity for economy class.
Good luck to all of us who are saving for travel and may we all get the best deal and flight experience!
