were snapped up within an hour of Cathay Pacific launching its online giveaway in Singapore on Thursday , amid complaints about the registration process on the airline's website.
To enter the contest, registrants had to be Cathay members, sign in on the campaign website and answer three questions correctly. The first 12,500 entrants will win a free economy class round-trip air ticket to Hong Kong. Earlier, participants who were unsuccessful at entering the giveaway went online to air their complaints about the registration process.
"If the website is not able to handle this amount of people, why not set a limit on how many people can enter the contest and hold it for several days instead of putting all the tickets out at the same timing?" commented a participant.
