Although these air tickets are free, lucky winners will need to pay related surcharges, fees and taxes. But given that a one-way ticket and return trip to Hong Kong from Singapore usually costs upwards of $115 and $216, respectively, you will still be saving hundreds of bucks. So those keen can enter your names here starting 1 March to try your luck.
