Free flight tickets to Hong Kong promo anyone??

[theking]

Hong Kong is giving out 500,000 free plane tickets. I tried to get one as a Singapore resident and ended up stuck in a waiting room behind 50,000 people.

Hong Kong's campaign to give out 500,000 free airline tickets to the city is proving very popular.

Thailand and Singapore residents snapped up 29,900 Cathay Pacific round-trip tickets on Wednesday and Thursday.

The giveaway ended within 45 minutes on both days due to overwhelming response.

Hong Kong is giving out half a million free flights to the city — and the campaign is so popular that Cathay Pacific had to park people in a virtual waiting room before they could even enter the giveaway.

The promotion is part of the "Hello Hong Kong" campaign launched in February to entice visitors back to the city after three years of COVID-19 isolation battered its economy.
