Medan-Singapore flights fully booked<\/p>\n
MEDAN, North Sumatra: Tickets for flights from here to
\nSingapore for Nov. 19 to Nov. 24 have been fully booked for

Several travel agencies in Medan said on Thursday that tickets
\nfor Silk Air and Garuda flights from Medan to Singapore from Nov.

\nreturn tickets for Nov. 19 to Nov. 26 from US$145 to $205 per
\nperson.<\/p>\n
