Hong Kong is giving out 500,000 free plane tickets. I tried to get one as a Singapore resident and ended up stuck in a waiting room behind 50,000 people.
the giveaway involves the distribution of 500,000 airline tickets via three of the city's carriers: Cathay Pacific, Hong Kong Airlines, and Hong Kong Express. It started on March 1 in the Southeast Asian markets and is slated to later move onto other markets, such as mainland China and Northeast Asia.before the pandemic, and it appears the city is still a draw.
A minute after the giveaway started, the webpage went down, with a message saying it was under"system maintenance." I managed to get back into the waiting room after a few minutes, only to be told there were over 50,000 people ahead of me — putting my estimated wait time at over an hour.The page for the waiting room refreshed itself at 12:43 p.m.
