Oh yes, the promotional fares are still on till Nov 2004. If you are keen to purchase these tickets, you can visit the following websites for details at http://www.zuji.com.sg and http://www.airfares.com.sg.

I agree with you that these days the fares are at rock-bottom prices due to the stiff competition from the budget airlines. However, I think I have a weak heart to "run" from the boarding gate to the plane just to get the seats I want.... wow!
