Planning the next overseas holiday can be exciting, but finding a good airfare is often the part that makes travellers stop and think twice. Flight prices can change quickly, and a fare that looks attractive one moment may be considerably higher when the booking is finally made. This is why promotional periods such as the Trip.com 8.8 Great Getaway Sale are worth keeping an eye on, particularly for Singapore travellers who already have a destination in mind.
Trip.com is running its 8.8 Great Getaway Sale from 8 to 11 August 2026, bringing together a collection of airline offers, travel deals and limited-time promotions. The campaign is available through the Trip.com Singapore website, app and mobile site. According to the official promotion page, the campaign also includes $88-off coupons for eligible OCBC cardholders, subject to availability and the applicable conditions.

A useful opportunity for travellers with flights in mind
The main attraction of this campaign is the selection of airline deals. Instead of being limited to one carrier or one destination, the promotion brings together different flight offers, giving travellers more reason to compare before paying for their next trip.
Among the offers highlighted for the campaign is Singapore Airlines, where travellers can enjoy S$100 off with a minimum spend of S$800 on eligible Singapore Airlines flights to Europe. For anyone already considering a European holiday, this could make a noticeable difference to the overall cost of the trip.
The saving is particularly interesting for couples or families who are booking more than one ticket. A higher-value booking can make it easier to reach the minimum spend requirement, although travellers should always check the exact eligibility and fare conditions before completing payment.
Bangkok Airways adds a giveaway opportunity
Not every deal in the campaign is simply about reducing the price of a flight. Travellers also have a chance to look out for the Bangkok Airways TikTok Live Giveaway, with a pair of tickets to Koh Samui up for grabs.
For travellers who have been thinking about a beach escape in Thailand, this is certainly an offer worth checking. Koh Samui is already a popular holiday destination, so the possibility of winning a pair of tickets adds another interesting element to the campaign.
Giveaways naturally come with their own rules and eligibility requirements, so participants should check the relevant Trip.com promotional information and campaign channels carefully before taking part.
Scoot fares could be worth comparing
Budget-conscious travellers should also keep an eye on the Scoot Low Fares Alert included in the campaign.
Scoot is often considered by Singapore travellers looking for more affordable ways to reach destinations around Asia and beyond. A limited-time fare promotion can be useful for those who are flexible with their travel dates, especially when they are prepared to compare several departure dates before making a booking.
The important thing with low-fare campaigns is not to focus only on the headline airfare. Travellers should also check baggage, seat selection, meals and other optional extras when calculating the actual cost of the journey. A slightly higher base fare may sometimes work out better once all the required extras are included.
Air Canada offers up to 10% off Vancouver flights
Vancouver is another destination featured in the campaign, with Air Canada offering up to 10% off selected flights to Vancouver.
For Singapore travellers hoping to visit Canada, Vancouver can be an appealing starting point for exploring British Columbia or continuing to other parts of the country. The city also makes an interesting choice for travellers who enjoy a mixture of urban attractions and outdoor scenery.
An offer of up to 10% off could be useful for anyone already researching Canada flights, although the final discount will depend on the eligible fare and promotion terms.
Etihad Airways focuses on travelling together
For couples planning a holiday, the Etihad Airways Lower Fares for Two offer is another deal to investigate. The idea is straightforward: travelling together can potentially mean more savings when the relevant fare conditions are met.
This may be particularly useful for couples who are planning a longer-distance holiday and want to make their airfare budget stretch further. Before booking, it is sensible to compare the promotional fare against other available dates, as airfares can vary depending on demand and availability.
China Airlines joins the list
Another airline featured in the promotion is China Airlines, with up to 13% off selected flights.
For travellers considering Taiwan, Japan or other destinations served through the airline’s network, this gives them another option to compare. The higher headline discount may catch the eye, but the actual value depends on the route, travel dates and fare selected.
This is where a little research before checkout can pay off. Rather than immediately choosing the first discounted flight, travellers can compare several dates and routes to see whether the promotion produces a genuinely attractive final price.
Why should travellers check out this deal?
The biggest reason to look at the Trip.com 8.8 Great Getaway Sale is the variety. There are airline-specific offers, a giveaway, low-fare opportunities and additional travel promotions available during the same campaign period.
Trip.com also lists hotel deals, attractions and tours, car rental, airport transfers and cruises as part of its wider 8.8 promotion. The official campaign page highlights travel deals across categories including flights, hotels and attractions, meaning travellers who are putting together a complete holiday may have more than just airfare savings to consider.
For example, someone booking a flight could also compare hotel prices at the same time rather than purchasing everything separately without checking for available promotions. This can make the whole trip easier to organise and potentially help keep the overall holiday budget under control.
There is another reason not to leave the search until later: availability is limited. Trip.com’s terms state that promotional quantities are limited and offers are served on a first-come, first-served basis. Prices can also change according to availability, so the price shown today may not necessarily remain the same later.
That means travellers who already know where they want to go should take some time during the promotional period to compare fares. There is no guarantee that every discounted fare will remain available throughout the campaign.
A few things to check before paying
As with any travel promotion, travellers should read the conditions before confirming a booking. Trip.com states that promo codes are subject to eligibility, availability and other restrictions. Codes generally need to be entered during checkout before final payment, and promotional discounts may not be combined with certain other offers, cashback programmes or discounted items.
It is also worth checking the cancellation policy, baggage allowance and other fare conditions for the specific flight. These details can vary between airlines and fare types.
For Singapore travellers who have been waiting for a reason to start planning their next getaway, the Trip.com 8.8 Great Getaway Sale offers plenty to explore in a short period. From S$100 off eligible Singapore Airlines flights to Europe and up to 10% off selected Air Canada flights to Vancouver, up to 13% off China Airlines flights, Etihad fares for two, Scoot low-fare offers and a chance to win Bangkok Airways tickets to Koh Samui, there are several different ways to potentially save.
The promotion only runs from 8 to 11 August 2026, so travellers interested in these offers should check the available fares and conditions sooner rather than later. With limited promotional quantities and dynamic pricing, the best deal may not wait around.
