“Guam is renowned for its pristine white sandy beaches and clear blue waters and it has long been a popular holiday destination for the people of Hong Kong. We are excited about the resumption of the direct service which makes us once again the only airline to fly direct from Hong Kong to one of the most popular tropical island holiday destinations in the Pacific Ocean” said Walter Dias, Continental’s managing director of Greater China and Southeast Asia.
Vacation packages for four days two nights or five days three nights including flight tickets and hotel accommodation are available from HK$3,999 (additional taxes, fees and surcharges may apply). For more details, customers can contact Continental Airlines Holidays at 2870 8711 or visit www.co-holidays.com.
To celebrate this exciting moment, an inaugural cocktail reception was held today. Mr. Steven Giegerich, Deputy Chief, Consular Section, US Consulate General, and Ms. Amy Lee, representative from Guam Visitors Bureau, joined Continental Airline at the cocktail and offered their congratulations on the new service.
“I think this is the right moment for Continental Airlines to re-launch this direct flight service. As I expect that number of Hong Kong visitors to Guam will surge, given eligible Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Passport or British National Overseas passport holders can travel to Guam or Saipan without a visa under the Guam/CNMI Visa Waiver Program.” Steven Giegerich commented.
“We are delighted that Continental Airlines is resuming their direct flight service between
Guam and Hong Kong. Not only will it provide Hong Kong people with convenient access to our fantastic holiday island, it will also make it easier for US and Guam residents to go to Hong Kong and experience the exhilarating vibe of the city.” said Amy Lee.
