Hong Kong, 29 March 2016 – Hong Kong’s low-fare airline has some exciting news that comes just in time for the summer holidays. HK Express is getting ready to fly its Guests to 3 new destinations in Japan: Ishigaki, Takamatsu and Kagoshima.
As the first low-fare airline providing direct flights to these 3 beautiful seaside destinations, HK Express is now offering the “Buy More Save More” introductory discounts enabling Guests to enjoy up to 40% off tickets to these new destinations*! The special offer will be available when booking via its official website www.hkexpress.com or mobile app on or before 31 March 2016, with travel period valid until 25 March 2017.
To the south, Ishigaki Island is one of the most happening spots in the Okinawa Prefecture. Its tropical beaches have been named the most beautiful in all of Japan, and the archipelago is a haven for scuba diving, manta ray spotting, kayaking, surfing, and -snorkelling. Flights depart twice weekly on Thursdays and Sundays starting from 16 June 2016.
Also called the “Udon Kingdom”, Takamatsu is well known for its green and peaceful Ritsurin Park, imposing Takamatsu Castle, an historic port and an abundance of fresh seafood. Flights depart triweekly on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Sundays starting from 6 July 2016.
Another seaside city, Kagoshima, is the capital of Kagoshima Prefecture nicknamed as “Naples of the Eastern World” for its bay location, mild climate, palm trees and its symbol – Sakurajima. Located in the middle of Kagoshima Bay, Sakurajima is one of the active volcanoes in Japan and has become Kagoshima’s most prominent geographic feature. Flights depart four times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays starting from 11 July 2016.
“HK Express is responding to our Guests by adding destinations considered highly sought after. Our new flights to these under-served and under-the-radar destinations in Japan will bring much needed tourism and provide a welcome boost to the local economy,” said Andrew Cowen, CEO of HK Express. “We are especially thrilled to be the first and only airline flying from Hong Kong to Takamatsu and Ishigaki, providing a welcome alternative to the more conventional destinations.”
