Have you ever noticed that rain in Singapore normally lasts for 1-2 hours?
I got this info from an email. Fairmont Hotel and Resorts, including Fairmont Singapore, is having a promotion.
This promo rate is exclusively for friends and families of Fairmont employees but using the promo code and Booker ID provided below you can circumvent this restriction.
Fairmont Hotels and Resorts, such as Fairmont Singapore, are giving promotional rates to employees’ Friends and Family until December 31, 2009.
This is ideal for you and/or your family members or friends who are coming to Singapore and are looking for hotel accommodations for their stay. (this program is worldwide and is not limited to Singapore only)
You may check out the current prices yourself and compare the standard rates with the promotional rates if you wish. A Five Star accommodation on a discounted rate.
Reservations for this program are to be made through www.fairmont.com. Just be sure to include the Promotion Code *NFAF* on the 1st screen and the Booker ID # *89999416* on the 3rd screen of the reservation process to avail the promotion.
Please take note that;
- This program is NOT applicable to family and friends in the *media*, or who are a part of the *travel agency community* (electronic or otherwise)
- This program is NOT applicable to friends or family *directly associated with business that is already negotiated with a Fairmont hotel
I did a comparison checked if the promo code will let me booked a discounted room and indeed I was able to get as much as 70% off. Using the promo code, the result indicates that the rate is for Fairmont Hotels and Resorts Friends & Family.
There has been a lot of anticipation regarding this fight specially the idea that it will be shown in Singapore live via satellite feed and is supposed to be sponsored by the Parmon Group as posted here.
But now, all hope has been shattered as the Singapore government has yet to approve Parmon Group the event license and this is already too late to make it to the event day.
According to a Parmon Group rep:
Sad to say we have cancelled the live feed in Singapore due to the delay in
issuance of the government license for the event. We are looking into airing via
TFC cable but delayed 1-hour. Will keep you posted.Regards
Susan
An alternative way is to check the P2P channel TVU/SopCast list on the event day. Somebody broadcasted Pacquiao's last fight with De La Hoya there.
