Passengers must still pay for taxes, surcharges and other fees, though tickets include 20 kg of checked-in baggage.

The campaign is part of the Airport Authority Hong Kong’s “World of Winners” promotion.

In all, flights for half a million tourists and 80,000 residents are being offered to boost post-pandemic tourism.

Winners of earlier phases of the giveaway told HKFP that the taxes they were asked to pay were steeper than expected.
