Firefly, a unit of Malaysia Airlines, expects a 20 per cent year-on-year increase in seat occupancy for the upcoming Chinese New Year festival, compared to the same festival period last year.
In a statement today, Firefly said routes experiencing good demand this year are Subang to Penang, Langkawi, Koh Samui and Singapore.
"The increase in air travel to these destinations is partly due to passengers traveling to reunite with their families and loved ones during this festive period as well as holiday makers taking advantage of the long break," said its head of marketing and communications, Angelina C Fernandez.
She said due to strong demand for travel packages during this period, Firefly Holiday is offering several online travel packages, inclusive of flights and accommodation, to domestic and neighbouring beach destinations covered by its network.
"We've kept the price of these packages affordable to cater to the mass market. Packages start from RM509 per person on twin share basis for three days/ two nights, inclusive of flights from Subang to Langkawi and accommodation at Awana Porto Malai Langkawi.
"We are also offering free and easy packages to Phuket, Medan Lake Toba, Koh Samui and Singapore," she added.
Angelina said Firefly Holiday is also offering a four days/three nights fly and cruise with SuperStar Libra (Penang-Phuket-Krabi-Penang) with return flights departing from Subang to Penang from RM1,249.
"The booking period is ongoing until Jan 31 for travel between Feb 1- Oct 27, 2012," she added. -- BERNAMA
