I find receiving Pre Natas Fair 2012 promotion alerts from airlines, banks (credit cards) or travel agencies quite exciting. Yet, I’m not sure if I should commit to those tempting Pre Natas deals or should I wait for the actual Natas Travel Fair event and hope for even better Natas Fair deals to come by?
SQ Promo to Europe Destinations
For example, there is recent Singapore Airlines promotion to many Europe destinations at SGD1288. The travelling period is from April till August 2012. I supposed if my travelling dates are confirmed, I will go ahead to book the tickets with Singapore Airlines as the promotion ends on 15 March 2012 and seats are subject to availability. I will not take chance to wait for any promotion during the actual Natas Fair 2012.
Pre NATAS Fair Promotion by Travel Agencies
It has become a standard practice that many larger travel agencies organise their own travel fair 2 to 3 weeks before the actual NATAS Fair. From previous years experience, it was noted that some of the tour packages are priced lower during these Pre NATAS Fair promotions.
So, you might want to check out the following travel fairs:
- Chan Brothers – World ‘R’ Us Travel Fair
- CTC Travel – Spring/Summer Fair
- Dynasty Travel – CNY Celebration Travel Fair
- ASA Holidays – ASA Power-Packed Travel Fair
- Tradewinds Travel – Tradewinds FeBulous Travel Fair
- SA Tours – Sensational Mega Travel Sale
- Five Stars Tours – Pre-NATAS Fair
- Hong Thai Travel – 27th Anniversary Carnival Travel Fair
DBS Credit Card Promotion
DBS Bank is also jumping into the Pre Natas Fair’s bandwagon. Its Pre Natas Travel deals includes:
- Enjoy up to S$50 off per couple when you book any Asia packages tours – Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Vietnam or Cambodia with Chan Brothers Travel. Promotion ends on 29 Feb 2012.
- Enjoy S$200 off per couple when you book any WOW Japan Group Pacakge with JTB Travel Saloon at ION Orchard. Promotion ends on 31 Mar 2012 and traveling period is between 1 Mar – 31 Jul 2012.
- Enjoy mega savings when you book one of these Club Med Promotions – ‘Stay 7 Nights & Pay 5 Nights” at Club Med Sahoro, Hokkaido or Club Med Yabuli, Heilongjiang, China.

I want to go Sydney on Aug 7-15 2012. Any cheap air ticket available? Please Advice?
Hi Serene,
The cheapest air ticket to Sydney on 7-15 Aug 2012 is probably offered by AirAsia X from S$636. Just for your information that Scoot Airlines will be announcing its airfares in March and I believe the Scoot airfares to Sydney and Gold Coast should be attractive too.
Hi, any great deals offer for 2 Adults and 2 children, age 9 and 6 for star cruise during the June School Holidays period? Wanting to bring my family there..
Hi Sue,
June school holidays starts from 26 May to 24 June but Star Cruise’s NATAS promotion does not apply to this period.
http://www.goingplaces.sg/five-star-travel/
However, Royal Caribbean has a 4 night Isles of Southeast Asia Cruise on 7 June and price starts from S$689. Ports of Call: Kuala Lumpur (Port Klang) & Phuket. Do visit both Star Cruises & Royal Caribbean or other cruise companies at the Natas Fair 2012 to pick the best deal.
The list of Cruises participating in NATAS Fair 2012:
- Chong Qing New Century Cruises Co. Ltd (Booth 5H29)

Hi, any good air ticket offer to go to Hawaii? i am intend to go on 15 March to 23 March. please advice..
Hi Desment,
Korean Air and Delta Air offer pretty good prices to Hawaii at around S$1630 – S$1845. The prices vary when you book directly with the airlines’ websites and with Expedia.com.sg. Expedia seems to offer better price.
Can i ask if gg to gold coast for 7nights, $1.7k each pax incl. hotel and breakfast is a gd deal? Saw in zuji.com and am wondering if i shld book first or wait for natas fair?
Hi Ciin,
From you input, I assume the Zuji deal is about a free-and-easy tour to Gold Coast with 7 nights hotel accommodation with daily breakfast and a return air tickets (via Jetstar?) at S$1700. I can only say if I were to do it DIY, do my own booking for air tickets and hotels, I would probably do it at a cheaper rate. If the Zuji deal can wait, I would suggest you visit NATAS Fair.
With more airlines promoting special fares to Australia, especially Scoot Airlines will be announcing its special fares to Sydney and Gold Coast next month, I believe Jetstar and Air Asia will have to adjust their fares too.
Thanks for ur advice!! Guess i’ll wait for e NATAS fair and hopefully it’ll bring better deals!
CIIN,

Hi Syafiah,

May I know which tour agent could offer a very good rate & comprensive coverage for Europe Tour. I am looking at travel period end April for 2 weeks for 2 pax.
Hi Janice,
Most of the big travel agents organise tours to Europe and their rates are quite competitive. A typical 12D Europe tour costs S$3000 onwards. It seems that Five Stars Tours and Hong Thai Travel have some great deals to Europe which you may want to check them out at the Natas Fair 2012.
