Experience Shanghai through Zest Air
MANILA, Philippines - Being the financial and commercial hub of modern mainland China, the city of Shanghai is truly a must-see international destination. Among its most popular attractions is the historical Yangtze River; The Bund or the waterfront area in central Shanghai along Huangpu River; the pedestrian walkway in Nanjing; and the monumental skyscrapers in the Pudong area such as the Shanghai World Financial Center, which is ranked among the tallest in the world.
Zest Air has made it so much easier for travelers to visit the city as it now flies conveniently to Shanghai. The airline will provide flights to this cosmopolitan, showcase city of China every Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Flights depart from the NAIA Terminal-3 at 7 p.m. while the return fights depart from Shanghai’s Pudong International Airport at 12:30 a.m.
The Manila to Shanghai route is currently being offered at a special introductory base fare of only P1,488, giving avid budget travelers a chance to book and enjoy this latest addition to Zest Air’s already varied offerings of international routes.
“Being a global center of growth, China is an important overseas destination for us to provide at Zest Air,” says Alfredo Herrera, chief marketing and sales officer of Zest Air. Zest Air is the only Philippine carrier with a direct flight from Manila to Jinjiang City in Fujian, China, and also offers flights to other destinations in China serviced from Kalibo and Cebu airports.
“Filipinos can now explore such a historically significant and economically important global city as Shanghai, and at the same time, Manila can also now welcome more international tourists from such burgeoning foreign growth centers,” adds Herrera. Zest Air will be deploying its reliable and comfortable Airbus 320 aircraft for the Manila-Shanghai route.
With renewed enthusiasm and more focused commitment to customer satisfaction undertaken by its new management, Zest Air also makes it easier for travellers to select and book flights with its online portal, flyzest.com. “When it comes to best deals, flyzest.com is the site to check out,” beams Herrera.
