In February, SIA showcased the B747-400 at the Singapore Airshow 2012, and announced special commemorative flights, SQ747 and SQ748, which will operate between Singapore and Hong Kong on April 6.
“Demand for seats on the farewell flights has been very strong. This contest represents one of the last chances to secure seats on these high-demand flights, giving the lucky winner the opportunity to join in the festivities as we mark the retirement of the B747 from SIA’s fleet after nearly four decades of distinguished service,” said Tan Chik Quee, Singapore Airlines senior vice president marketing.
