Hongkongers hoping to grab any of the 21,626 free HK Express flight tickets to 19 Asian destinations went through a "never-ending" wait yesterday. A total of 80,000 free flight tickets are being given away through different channels of HK Express, Cathay Pacific and Hong Kong Airlines. Both Cathay and Hong Kong Airlines had earlier given most of the free tickets to overseas visitors. The HK Express campaign began at 10.30am, with its website already experiencing heavy traffic hours before the launch. HK Express replied to the post, saying the queue arrangement was to ensure the stability of the server.
