Flight Centre Deals
As much as we hate to admit it, public holidays in Singapore are sometimes disasters served on a silver platter. Chaos – or should we say 5.47million people – flood the streets to celebrate the New Year. This would be fun if we were not so hot (temperature), and not so much a parent! What we really want to do is go to bed early and get off the island in January instead. With these new year travel deals, we can do just that. So can you! Sweeping us off our feet is travel lifesaver, Flight Centre.
Nature Escapade
Far from the concrete jungle, and just jungle really, of Singapore, is some wild Japanese wilderness – Hokkaido has some of the best scenery in Asia. If your little one’s 2014 obsession is “Frozen”, this is a chance for them to live out their fairytale dreams. Look out for wildlife animals on the Drift Ice Cruise at Abashiri, and enjoy a picturesque train ride through Norokko.
Packages start from $3,338 for a seven-night stay in Hokkaido with daily breakfast, five dinners and a chartered car. The packages also include seeing the Kushiro Crane dance, watching the penguin parade at Asahiyama Zoo, enjoying a scenic train through Norokko, spending time at Kushiro Washo Market and riding a snowmobile. The price is based on travelling in a group of six and is valid for travel from 20 January 2015 to 31 March 2015.
Ski Japan
Adrenaline junkies and families alike can head to Hokkaido ski resorts for a white post-Christmas break. Celebrate New Year and shred the snowy mountains of Hokkaido. Hokkaido is Japan’s second largest and least developed island. The mountains are covered in fluffy powdery snow, making it one of the best ski spots in the world.
Prices start at $1,498 per person, which includes return flights, accommodation and a two-day lift pass.
Australian Open
Bbbrrr. If that sounds too chilly for you, head south for the winter and soak up the sun in Australia instead. And while you’re at it, see some world class tennis! January is the time of the Australian Open in Melbourne which delivers a great line-up and awesome atmosphere. See your fave tennis stars battle it out for the top prize and then check out some well-loved Australian bands and artists as night falls at the Heineken Live Stage. Book through Flight Centre to travel in style with Singapore Airlines and stay at the luxurious Rydges Melbourne Hotel. Get your tickets before the year ends and enjoy a complimentary private chauffer transfer to Changi Airport – perfect if little tots are tagging along.
Prices range from $2,598 for four nights during the first week to $8,598 for five nights over the finals weekend. The package also includes Rod Laver Arena tickets, access to the Game, Set and Match Lounge and access to all outside courts except for the Margaret Court Arena.
With Flight Centre’s awesome packages, planning a last minute trip no longer comes with a pounding headache.
