KEEPING an eye on the approaching holiday season, Cathay Pacific will soon come out with an advanced purchase scheme for travel to the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand in the coming summer season.

The Hong Kong-based airline will offer a 30 per cent discount on tickets booked to these destinations between March 1 and March 31. The offer, to open on March 1, will be valid for outbound travel undertaken by May 15, while the return journey can be undertaken during the validity period of the ticket.

According to Mr Jason Philip, Marketing and Sales Manager, Cathay Pacific, for India, Nepal and Bangladesh, this is not the first time that the airline has come out with promotional offers but the current deal is different as it covers a number of destinations.
