A SPECIAL rate offered last year on Qantas Airways to London is being reintroduced on a selective basis.
Peak season departures on July 3, 5 and 10 are being offered at $6,900 (children for $4,650) round trip including a car for one week. The catches are there must be two adults (so $13,800); and the Qantas flights to London operate (nonstop) from Bangkok, so you must take the Qantas flight from Kai Tak, which leaves at 5.50 pm, with a transit time in Bangkok of 31/2 hours.
You can return when you like.
Contact Wallem Travel, phone 821-3868. THE Sukhothai hotel in Bangkok has further discounted its suites rate until the end of September.
The rate is B3,850 (about HK$1,280), compared with the published level of B7,500.
Contact the hotel's representative office in Hongkong, Beaufort Hotels, phone 526-1163, or fax 810-6792. THERE will be a one-hour time change in Australia in March. This means different changes to different airlines. Some will maintain the present schedule but with others flights will arrive and depart one hour earlier.
