Cathay Pacific Airways has introduced a range of airtel packages (airplane and hotel) for Koreans traveling to Hong Kong over the years.
It has provided budget-conscious travelers affordable options to explore one of the world’s most popular tourism destinations. This time, the airline is offering deals for those seeking fun in Hong Kong Disneyland.
Its latest airtel package includes economy-class round-trip tickets between Incheon and Hong Kong, two-night-stay at Disney-operated hotels and a Disneyland access pass. It is available from Feb. 15 through July 13.
Based on four guests sharing a room for 2 nights, the package starts from 639,000 won per person, and for 3 travelers it would be from 659,000 won per person.
``Compared to planning the same trip separately, Cathay Pacific’s Disney package would cost 20 percent less and this is a great opportunity for those planning a trip at a reasonable price,’’ said a spokeswoman at Cathay Pacific’s Korean branch office.
The Disney hotels ㅡ Disney Hollywood Hotel and Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel ㅡ offer various complimentary benefits, such as a stay and play ticket for extending the access pass one more day, a special pass for fast access to the amusement park and late checkout until 4 p.m.
In 2010, Hong Kong Disneyland celebrated its fifth anniversary, attracting 52.3 million visitors. As a dream filled it has hosted many events and festivals, including the fifth anniversary commemorative party with Disney friends and a dazzling fireworks display.
Detailed information about this package can be found on the Cathay Pacific Airways Korea website (www.cathaypacific.com/kr).
Cathay Pacific operates five daily flights from Incheon to Hong Kong. The Cathay Pacific Korea website provides diverse online special offers, promotions and events year-round, as well as convenient travel services like ``online check-in’’ and ``manage my booking.’’
