DEALS AT HK OBSERVATION DECK
The sky100 Hong Kong Observation Deck, located on the 100th floor of International Commerce Centre, Hong Kong's tallest building, is celebrating its seventh anniversary with offers for all visitors until June 30.
For example, those who buy a seventh-anniversary double delights package - equivalent to the price of one standard adult ticket - will get a free HK$50 (S$8.50) dining voucher that can be used at the attraction's Cafe 100 by The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong.
On Sundays, visitors can also receive an ice-cream voucher by taking a photo with any of the designated photo frames found at sky100 and sharing the photo on social media. This voucher can be exchanged on the same day for a free soft-serve ice cream, worth HK$52, at the cafe.
During the promotion, 50 cups of ice cream will be given away every Sunday.
Cathay Pacific Airways customers travelling from Singapore to Hong Kong this and next month get extra perks. They can buy two adult standard tickets and get a child ticket free - which works out to be a 25 per cent discount off the original price of the tickets. They also get half-price off for a 360-degree virtual reality experience for kids.Visitors have to present their passports and Cathay Pacific Airways boarding passes at the sky100 ticket centre on the first floor.
