FREE FLIGHTS TO BANGKOK
Jetstar Asia to commence daily flights to Bangkok on March 23rd, tickets on sale tomorrow
Singapore March 2, 2005 – Jetstar Asia confirmed today that it would begin services to Bangkok, Thailand with the introduction of two daily flights commencing March 23, 2005.
Jetstar Asia will celebrate the introduction of its Bangkok service with 1,000 free seats and fabulous launch period fares starting from just S$28 each way for bookings made between March 3rd and March 16th, travelling through May 27th.
"Bangkok remains one of the top business and tourist destinations in the region, and is an incredibly popular destination with Singaporeans," said Jetstar Asia's head of marketing, Ms. Dorit Grueber. "From weekend treats to week-long shopping trips, the demand for travel to the Thai capital has continued to rise throughout the past several years and we're confident of being able to help even more people in Singapore experience the delights, adventures and wonderful cultural offerings that Bangkok provides in such abundance," she added.
To accommodate the flights to Bangkok each day, Jetstar Asia has decided to suspend its daily service between Singapore and Pattaya in order to better utilise its existing fleet of aircraft. "We were thrilled to be the first international carrier serving Pattaya and certainly look forward to resuming those services at some point," remarked Greg Thompson, VP Operations. "With a limited number of aircraft available to us, we made the tough decision to redirect our assets towards serving a destination that continues to see growth in demand, and we look forward to continue flying to Thailand, but now via daily flights to Bangkok."
The free seats are available only for bookings made via the website and will be offered on a first-come first-served basis. Bookings in general can be made via the Jetstar Asia website at
www.jetstarasia.com; the call centre at 6822 2288 or by contacting Jetabout Holidays and Chan Brothers Travel.
