- Can I book tickets for my companion(s) during the Tickets Giveaway Campaign?
The Tickets Giveaway Campaign is only applicable to individual adult (12 years old or above) ticket bookings. If you have travel companion(s), please book their tickets separately. As ticket and seat bookings are first-come, first-served, we cannot guarantee that the winner and their companions can book on the same flight or adjacent seats. If the only companion is a child (2-11 years old), you can book the child ticket yourself and contact our Customer Connect team to make a remark that you will be traveling together. If the only companion is an infant (under two years old who does not occupy a seat), please get in touch with the Customer Connect team to book the infant ticket. If you book the child or infant ticket through the HK Express website or app, and the birth year is not available, please select the closest year first and then contact the Customer Connect team to change it to the correct year for free after the booking is made. Please ensure that the age of children or infants still qualifies on the travel date.
- Can I sit with my companion(s)?
