maltatoday, SUNDAY, 15 JANUARY 2017 Events 41 Travel to Cyprus for less with Emirates super offer With the re-launch of the daily service between Malta and Dubai via Larnaca in Cyprus from 1st February 2017, Emirates is offer- ing customers a super early bird offer to Cyprus. Whether you are seeking to surprise your spouse or partner for Valentine's Day, or seeking to take long weekend breaks around public holidays of 10th February, 31st March, 16 April (Easter), 1st May, 29th June or even a summer vacation, now is the time to make the most of this special offer. For travellers from Malta, an all inclusive Economy Class fare is €143 per person. The generous sales period is six weeks long: from 16 January until 28 February 2017, for outbound travel from 16th Jan- uary to 31st December 2017, with no high season supplements. The earlybird offer to Cyprus also ap- plies on child fares. A supplement of €20 will apply for departures on Friday and Saturday. Terms and conditions apply. Cyprus is a gorgeous island with lots of nature's charm. It is an ideal destination for those seek- ing to escape city life and want to explore the splendour of the coun- tryside - from picturesque water- falls and rugged mountain peaks to walking trails and breathtak- ing landscapes that can be easily reached by car. Cyprus is also a beach-lover's paradise with exten- sive sandy beaches, great water- sports offered by different resorts, as well as some quaint and remote beach spots which are often not on the tourist's trails. If you are not looking for 5 star luxury accommodation, many en- chanting villages offer traditional houses and apartments that take you back in time but are equipped with sun terraces, outdoor swim- ming pools and modern comforts. Food lovers can feast on Cypriot cuisine at village taverns at very reasonable prices. Driving a car in Cyprus is easy as Cypriots drive on the same left hand side as in Malta. Their very well kept roads are well signposted in English. The Malta-Larnaca-Dubai flight is operated by an Emirates wide- body Boeing 777-300ER aircraft with eight Private Suites in First Class, 42 lie-flat seats in Business Class and 310 spacious seats in Economy Class. In addition to this great value fare for world class quality, customers can experience the Emirates hos- pitality of its multi-national Cabin Crew, including Maltese, as well as gourmet cuisine and Emirates' award-winning ice entertainment system. With more than 2,500 channels of on-demand enter- tainment, from movies, television programmes, games, audio books, and music from around the world, ice has been named the world's best inflight entertainment sys- tem by Skytrax for the last 12 con- secutive years. As with all Emirates flights, pas- sengers also enjoy generous bag- gage allowances: up to 35kg in Economy, 40kg in Business and 50kg in First Class. In addition, First Class and Business Class customers can experience chauf- feur-drive home/office and air- port pick-ups and airport lounge access.

Winner drawn for the Pizza Hut 'Everyone is a Winner' Campaign Following a draw early last month at Pizza Hut restaurant in St Julians, Mr Anthony Fava is the winner of a trip for two to Thailand, the grand prize in Pizza Hut's 'Everyone is a Win- ner' campaign. This is the fifth year that Pizza Hut have run this successful campaign and the second year where a grand prize was intro- duced. Throughout the cam- paign Pizza Hut gave out other fantastic prizes including sev- eral holidays for two to Rome, Berlin, Venice, Catania, Mi- lan and Taormina, Playstation 4s, Pizza Hut food items and vouchers, Cisk pints and Pepsi pitchers. The campaign is based on a concept that everyone has a guaranteed prize. All diners visiting Pizza Hut during the months of August and Septem- ber were given a sealed enve- lope which contained a prize. In October and November din- ers were invited to return to the outlet to have their envelope opened and their prize revealed. Pizza Hut once again col- laborated with Cisk and Pepsi for this campaign and this year they also collaborated with Fly- away Tours who sponsored the European holidays for two and the grand prize. The grand prize winner was presented with a choice between a trip for two to Thailand with a full itinerary of activities and tours included, or a family trip to London with several activities including Sea Life London Aquarium, the Harry Potter Film Location Bus Tour, Lion King Musical, Thames River Cruise Hop on, Hop off and Legoland. Ms Isabelle Hyzler, Marketing Officer at Food Chain Hold- ings thanked Cisk and Pepsi for supporting the campaign once again and also thanked Flyaway Tours for being this year's main sponsor. Ms Josianne Tonna, Director at Flyaway Tours, thanked Pizza Hut for the op- portunity to collaborate with them and wished the winner a fantastic experience and safe travels.
