Every Tuesday morning at 8am, Cathay release sale flights as part of their ‘fanfares’ promotion. Today’s Penang flights were sold out by midday!

About Me
I'm Nicola, and I love to travel. I backpacked in my teens, flashpacked in my twenties, and a move out to Asia with my boyfriend (now husband) meant that the world was my oyster.
