WITH a three-night tour to Singapore costing $2,900 per person sharing (so $5,800 per couple, $3,700 single), there must be a catch.
Actually, there are two. There are only a few seats at that price - the number is unspecified; but is probably no more than 20 on each flight - and the offer is only valid on fixed departure days.
The package includes economy class air fare on United Airlines, three nights' hotel room, daily full breakfast, tax and service charges. There are seats on UA flights on November 4, 18, and December 2.
The hotel used in the package is the Ladyhill. Other hotels are the Rasa Sentosa, the new Shangri-La managed hotel on Sentosa island, but off the track for a business traveller, and the ANA Hotel, on Nassim Hill. These two hotels cost about $200 to $300 more on the basic per-person package price.
The United flights arrive in Singapore late on the first day and leave early morning on the fourth day. So even though this is billed as a four-day package, there are only two days in Singapore in practical terms.
