SUBANG, From now until February 19, MasterCard cardholders who fly Malaysia Airlines (MAS) stand a chance to win business class tickets to London, Melbourne or Shanghai.

According to MAS Commercial Director Datuk Abdul Rashid Khan, MasterCard International Worldwide cardholders who purchase any products from the on-going Malaysia Airlines Travel Fair (MATF ’09) will automatically be in the running to win business class tickets to the three destinations.

Three winners will be chosen from among cardholders who charge their purchases to their MasterCard. Each winner will receive two MAS Business Class air tickets for travel commencing in Kuala Lumpur.

The prizes will be awarded based on the highest amount spent, with the first prize winner getting a pair of Return Business Class air tickets to London. Subsequently, the second prize comprises Return Business Class tickets to Melbourne while the third prize winner gets a trip for two to Shanghai.

"MasterCard International Worldwide has been a firm supporter of the Malaysia Airlines Travel Fair and they return as ‘Official Card’ for the sixth consecutive year," Abdul Rashid said in a statement here, Monday.

"This year's fair offers customers the choice of 55 destinations and the chance to travel just seven days after securing their booking. So check out the fares, use MasterCard to facilitate the payment and who knows, you could be a winner," he said.

Over one million seats have been up for grabs at discounts of up to 70 percent off the prevailing market fares since February 10.

In conjunction with the travel fair, MASholidays is offering a promotion whereby those who purchase MASholidays packages worth RM1,500 or more in Peninsular Malaysia will be eligible to win a Caltex StarCard worth up to RM400 and a cash rebate of up to RM1,000 towards the purchase of a 42" Samsung LCD TV.

"These are just some of the many ways that Malaysia Airlines aims to reward its customers. The MATF will be running for only a few more days. I hope members of the public will take advantage of this opportunity to enjoy the lowest fares and best deals that we have on offer," Abdul Rashid said.

Customers can visit the offices of over 600 participating travel agents in Malaysia and over 1,500 agents from Singapore, Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam. Malaysia Airlines will also offer these attractive deals through its website http://www.malaysiaairlines.com/ and ticketing offices in Malaysia and in selected ASEAN countries.
