SUBANG, January 28 – To meet the  surge of demand to travel during the forthcoming Chinese New Year holidays and for the convenience of its customers, Firefly, Your Community Airline, is offering extra flights on the Subang -  Alor Setar – Subang and the Singapore – Ipoh- Singapore routes. These extra flight are now on sale online at Firefly’s website, www.fireflyz.com.my or at all Firefly’s Airport and City Ticketing office, and Malaysia Airlines Ticketing Office.

In a statement issued by Firefly today, the extra flights during Chinese New Year covers  the Singapore – Ipoh  route  on the 9, 11, 12, 13, 16, 17 and 21 February 2010 and the Subang – Alor Setar route  on 13 February.

The Singapore – Ipoh- Singapore route extra flights have been on sale  since October 2009.

Firefly’s head of marketing and communications, Ms Angelina Fernandez, said they are sharing the excitement of this year’s Chinese New Year falling on the same day as Valentine’s Day. The demand to travel has increased dramatically as we think that apart from those rushing to balik kampong both to celebrate Chinese New Year Family reunion and the holidays, the demand has probably been arisen from couples  and families going for their romantic reunion weekends.  

“Firefly looks forward to bring families together for this Chinese New Year festive holidays to all our passengers.  Family reunion are especially important and is a very significant part of all our lives. Every festive holiday is always a family reunion for all of us. We would like to wish all our passengers and their families a very Happy and Prosperous Chinese New Year and Happy Holidays” said Angelina.

The sale is organized every year to attract avid, insane shoppers to Singapore for, what else, SHOPPING, of course.  Look out for discounts up to 70% off the usual prices.  Get more great deals and privileges with your MasterCard as they are the official card for this sale.

Almost everything including designer products are discounted. These are genuinely great bargains. However, do watch out for fake goods and it is always wise to visit genuine store for their branded products.

Plus, always ask for a sales receipt and an original warranty card, especially on items such as cameras and electrical goods where the manufacturer’s international guarantee card should be available.

Singapore has earned the distinction of being one of the most crime-free countries in the world. The streets are usually quite safe at all times, even at nights. However, there are occasional pickpockets and purse snatchers who prey on unsuspecting victims. So, do keep an eye on your wallets and purse even when you are busy shopping but there’s also that easier option, which is to just bring your credit cards.

There are no specific areas, which are crime prone but it is better to avoid dark and secluded streets, especially if you are alone.

Malls from Orchard Road to Bugis slash prices off their products for this sale. Selected malls also extend their shopping hours (10 am to 9 pm), which may sometimes run past midnight, but apply to selected weekends only.
