Dato Jack Ting of City Neon (left) said that there will be ample parking for guests at the BRIDEX event and there will be ushers as well to make sure that there’s good traffic flow

It’s time of the year again where Royal Brunei Airlines, Malaysia Airlines, MasWings and Singapore Airlines will give super deals but these amazing deals are only available at Travelmania 2012 which is a travel fair happening at BRIDEX this weekend starting Friday. As you may know that the travel fair was previously headlined by Abacus. Now Abacus Holiday Travel Fair is part of Travelmania 2012 which is a bigger picture. I was slightly confused before but I’m sure Travelmania brand will grow year by year.

There will be more companies participating in Travelmania and there will be international vendors participating such as Royal Plaza on Scotts, Star Cruise and World Resort Manila.

Under Abacus, there will be seven travel agents participating and they also have Brunei Tourism, Tourism Malaysia, Tourism Authority of Thailand and Taiwan Visitor Association on board. Baiduri Bank Berhad will be the official bank and there will be privileges for those who swipe with their Baiduri Bank credit cards.

Evelyn Ang of Royal Brunei Airlines hinted that there will be 36% to 48% discounts on airfare namely to Singapore. The tickets purchased is valid until May 2013. It was tough to get the prices of the airfare though but what I know so far is that the Singapore fare will be less than $300 but only for certain days. This is my target for my December trip and of course, the earlier you come to the travel fair, the better chance of you getting this amazing deal. I won’t be surprised that this price will be gone by Friday but then again, Royal Brunei Airlines have hinted that there’s another low end tier price which is in the low $300 for a return flight to Singapore. So that’s also a great deal nonetheless.

Siaw Ling, Head of Sales, Singapore Airlines, will be promoting leisure of travels ranging from America (NY, Houston, LA and San Francisco), Europe (London, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Manchester, Zurich and Munich), SE Asia (Singapore, Bangkok, Ho chi minh, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Manila, Penang, Yangon, Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, Da Nang, Chiangmai, Langkawi, Phuket, Surabaya, Balikpapan, Bandung), Indian Sub-continent (Banglore, Dhaka, Colombo, Kolkata, Mumbai, Chennai) and Africa (Cape Town and Joahnnesburg) and SQ will be offering a 30% discount from the normal market fare. On top of that, Singapore Airlines will be giving away a small token for passengers who purchased ticket during Travelmania 2012.

The press conference also revealed the prizes for the grand draws, which include a return air ticket to Melbourne, a return air ticket to Shanghai and a return air ticket to Manila.

Irene of Abacus announced that those who purchased tickets can stand a chance to win an Apple iPhone 5 (16GB), a Samsung N8000 Galaxy Note 10.1 (16GB) or a Samsung i9300 Galaxy SIII (16GB) Blue Edition

Alias Suut of Malaysia Airlines said that Malaysia Airlines just recently celebrated their 40th anniversary. There will be special fares for those traveling beyond KL such as UK and Europe (Amsterdam, Frankfurt and Paris) with the introduction of their Airbus A380 to London destination on morning flights

Nurul Suzainee of Royal Brunei Airlines announced of a $50 discount on travel packages per adult and $30 for every child. For KK, the packages are already very low that you can get a 2 night package below $200. They also have a package where you can visit Legoland by travelling to KL, then inclusive of transfer to Malacca (one night) then on route to Johor (two nights) for Legoland then fly back to Brunei via Singapore. This deal is packaged below $800 per person. So do find out more at their booth at Travelmania

Evelyn Ang of Royal Brunei Airlines (left) said that there will be super amazing deals from RBA. For instance, travelling to Singapore, you will enjoy discounts from 36% to 48% of current market price. For London fares, you can save up to $500 to $600 per person. Travellers also can enjoy extra 10k baggage allowance for long haul flights such as UK, Dubai and Melbourne.

Adilah Multazimah of Brunei Tourism said that Brunei Tourism presence will be the biggest with 7 partners under them. She also announced that Holiday Lodge will be promoting their $50 weekend rates during Travelmania 2012
