A Cure for Wanderlust: The Great Singapore Airlines – BDO Getaway

An Asian proverb wisely reminds us that it’s “better to see something once, than to hear about it a thousand times.” Traveling the world, indeed, is an enriching experience for the soul and mind, one that cannot be substituted simply by listening to and looking at others’ tales and pictures of adventure. At least once your life, you must find yourself in spectacular, far away lands — your feet in the sand, wind in your hair, the sun in your face and your heart in the moment — to make it count.

This September, Singapore Airlines and partner airline SilkAir team up with BDO in The Great Singapore Airlines-BDO Getaway to help you get on your way and fill up that travel diary.

Economy class travelers with a taste for the special charms of the orient can find themselves taking in the sensory delights of Eastern gems like Singapore for US$150, Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Laos and Myanmar for a minimum of US$200 along with a host of other Asian and international destinations starting at US$450.

Premium economy class travelers, while set to enjoy more stretch and leg room during their flight, should also make sure to pack light and tight if they ever find themselves backpacking through India at US$1,200 and Sydney at US$1,350, or luxuriating in European cities and New Zealand at US$1,900 with a myriad of other destinations in this list.

Now for a real treat, business class travelers will be provided the maximum level of in-flight comfort before setting foot in intimate Maldives or ultra-modern Dubai for US$1,800, South Africa’s safari trips at US$3,000 and all time favorite destination USA for US$3,500 among many, many other destinations of a lifetime.
