Cathay Pacific has just announced a buzz-worthy sweepstakes to Bali. Simply plug in your e-mail address on their website’s sweepstakes page (which will offer you the option to sign up for the airline’s free e-newsletter), and enter for a chance to escape to the tiny Indonesian island’s surf, sand, and fun-in-the-sun culture for free. The prize package includes two roundtrip economy tickets from select North American cities (Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Toronto, or Vancouver) – that in itself being a real treat, given Cathay’s renowned economy class, which features spacious seating, a personal entertainment center, and a flight crew that doles out white-glove service.

Flying to and from Hong Kong in Cathay Pacific’s plush Business Class pods was a dream, mostly because the seats go completely flat, allowing for true horizontal slumber (check out the new seats here). From now until April 30, you can sleep in these Biz Class seats for 15-percent off (or in First Class for 5-percent off) published roundtrip fares from the U.S. to Hong Kong. You can also sleep soundly once you arrive in Hong Kong, with two free nights at either the Four Seasons or the Intercontinental Hotel. The lower fares are only available for outbound travel from March 1 to April 30, 2009 on Cathay Pacific’s Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York JFK flights. Tickets can be purchased by calling Cathay Pacific’s reservation line at 1-877-707-2742 and requesting the “Hotel Offer.” Hotel stays must occur between March 1 and April 30, 2009. Visit www.cathaypacific.com/us for complete terms and conditions.
