One of my frugal friends has been flying to different cities every weekend lately, claiming it’s to escape Beijing—where you’re constantly putting on and taking off autumn pants—and find a cooler city for a vacation. In the end, he even asked me, “Father’s Day is coming, why not book a ticket to take your dad out for some fun?” How I wish I could, but those sky-high airfares always stop me in my tracks. He noticed my dilemma and mysteriously pulled out his phone, opened an app called Golden Century, tapped a few times, and showed it to me: Wow, in the middle of our chat, he booked another flight to Haikou at 25% off, just 560 yuan. That’s when I found out that in June, Golden Century and Capital Airlines were jointly offering airfares starting as low as 20% off.
It’s reported that from June 1, 2014 to June 30, 2014, as China’s leading business travel value-added service provider, Golden Century launched a campaign in several domestic hot-spot cities such as Beijing, Hangzhou, and Xi’an, offering airfares starting at 20% off on dozens of routes. I quickly clicked in and, with my IT-savvy eyes, swiftly browsed through it. Here are two major highlights of the campaign for you to check out first.
Highlight one: The airfares offered by Golden Century this time are unbelievably low—pure savings for you
For a long time, us frugal folks have been resigned to taking trains—crowded, long journeys, and now that it’s midsummer, if you’re unlucky enough to end up on a regular train with only fans for cooling, even though I’m young and healthy, I can’t bear to see my dad suffer through that. Looking at Golden Century’s current 20% off airfares, the cheapest ones are just 220 yuan, truly absurdly low, and genuinely affordable for us.
Highlight two: Five major cities, dozens of routes, greatly meeting customer needs
This campaign covers hot-spot cities such as Beijing, Hangzhou, Xi’an, Yunnan, and Hainan. Each city has its own unique charm—historical depth, beautiful scenery, seaside warmth—perfect for taking mom and dad out for fun. There are also plenty of routes available, greatly satisfying our needs.
I saw a friendly reminder on the Golden Century website: there are three ways to book these airfares—online, by phone, or via mobile app—which is very convenient.
Alright, enough chit-chat, I’ve got to hurry up and book. Ah, I’m not even a Golden Century member yet. I can’t miss out on such great deals. I’m going to the Golden Century website right now to buy a membership card, which even comes with complimentary high-value insurance, so I can take my dad out for fun. I can already imagine my dad’s reaction when he sees the tickets: “You rascal, you’ve grown up!” Hehe….
