How do you know your holiday has been absocheesinglutely awesome?
When your Nintendo DS and the book you brought are still sitting in the luggage. Intact.
My Shanghai trip has been one of the greatest holidays i’ve been on. And i’m about to list Shanghai one of my favorite places on earth. It was nothing like what i remember of 4 years ago.
And what’s more, i had the bestest Shanghai friend. Who speaks Mandarin (and French oh so sexy). No you can’t hang out with Oli. I have claimed ownership of him. You have to queue to get a number to queue for an application to be a Niu Nai Entourage. Cheeserland reserves the right to ruthlessly reject, terminate, modify, amend or suspend any application, including canceling any method of entry, and select a candidate from previously received eligible entries. Good luck.
I am sooo glad i bought my Shanghai on an impulse!!
At first was supposed to go to Japan but someone FFked. Then thought of going to Australia, but tak sempat book the free tickets online. Then was considering a relaxing holiday in Bintan but someone forgot to book it before the promo was over.
It’s so stressful to plan a holiday. Most of them too busy to put their jobs aside for a few days. Some too indecisive. Some just plain rude FFK me last minute.
So depressing.
The trip to MATTA fair was even more depressing.
It was so annoying. And confusing. So many posters and banners shouting LOWEST FARE and SUPER DEAL with an unbelievably cheap price printed below the screaming red font just to trick you into visiting their booth. Then you found out that their prices isn’t low after all.
8 days in Shanghai for RM998? Sure anoooooot. My ticket alone to Shanghai is RM2000.
Bali free and easy from RM99!!! I’m sure the journey from 99 to the destination is longer than a flight across the globe.
Club Med Bintan, Buy 1 Free 1!!! From RM172. Wow. How?
RM2199 to London!!!
I spent 15 mins waiting to get assistance only to find out that the full price is 4K plus! Damn stupid and wasted my time. If it was really 2199 i would have booked there and then already. Give false hope. Meh.
Again. 1XXX? So dubious. Hie everyone i’m 2X years old.
So misleading!! And it’s just plain frustrating, to be gleeful at the “promotional price” then get let down after knowing the “real price”, and constantly have to make a guess about the full price. URgggh!
They should all just put a total sum upfront and not spend the subsequent 10 mins explaining to customer about the hidden costs. I’m so glad when i read that Malaysia Airlines launched all in fares!
That’s the way to go!!! 😀 What you see is what you pay for!
It that way i can just compare the real prices, decide, then move on without wasting any time.
According to the latest news, MAS slashed the All-Inclusive Low Fares by a further 50-73% offering the lowest fares in town.
Two million seats are on offer with the lowest fare starting at RM54 nett for domestic flights, RM149 to ASEAN destinations and RM639 nett to Australian destinations.
NETT!
Hopefully by the next MATTA i don’t have to queue so long to find out that the air ticket i wanted is way out of my budget. Australia is already practicing All-In-Pricing. Hopefully this should form the basis of air travel marketing in Malaysia too.
More info on www.malaysiaairlines.com.
Hmmm. I’m loving the word “NETT”. 🙂
I am thinking of booking my tickets to Shanghai again with MAS. It’s only RM1140!!!
What turf! Even though Shanghai is not part of the all inclusive fare promo but it is still almost 1k cheaper than what i paid for my Shanghai trip! Gonna book now. You all don’t fight with me.
YES! NETT PRICE! NO HIDDEN CHARGES!
That’s the way they should advertise! Just make things so much more easierrrrr to us, the consumer.
lol I hope to go there some day la =) go with cheesie can?
yeah! pocket-friendly air fares…good for us travellers!
Mas,AirAsia fighting!!? good for consumers!
The “from” word near the prices should have given you a clue as to whether they are truly cheap or not..
I wanna travel…………….
There are less-than-cost tour operators who offers amazing deals. Problem is, they force you to buy stuff at certain stores (where they get commission) and also go to certain destinations, which may not be where you wanted to go. Kickbacks from restaurants etc also helps them bring down the cost drastically, but in the end it’ll not be a fun vacation.
It’ll be more like a high pressure MLM “free buffet dinner” seminar.
I’m more of a traveler so I’ll go free and easy any day.
Shanghai return for RM 1140 nett? I’m there!
Come, let’s go Japan. I won’t FFK you.
BTW, arriving in KL tomorrow (today technically) after midnight. See ya next week! 🙂
Nice! I want to go somewhere too, hopefully early next year.
Keeping my fingers crossed!
Teach me how to fight with you.. 😛
Hidden charges are everywhere, those big firms especially,are engaging in these deceitful practices… just be smart and read the fine prints very carefully.
maybe u should organize something like CHEESERLAND ENTOURAGE THINGY with blogger and airborne and raiding perfect vacation spot (*ah mike, curry egg and eve will be the 1st to sign up)
You onli need flight to UK..accomadation and food is free 😉 (spending money oso..hehe)
yeah! fairer deal and price transparency pls! no more sneaky fees and hate The Less You See The More You Pay
fuel price is volatile lately, so maybe getting better rate now then those agencies whom committed at earlier rates. tats the reason Matta is not necessary good deals.
there goes my business… hahahah
bah!! MAS is killing me already..
Porkie,
Can you extend that invitation to me? =X
hmm… i wonder where ur income came from…. just from blogging?
with “visit malaysia” campaign and berat sebelah on some party, semua orang tak payah balik la or pergi melancung. just have holiday at the back of your own house betterla. jimat duit and better scenery also.
All my bags are packed, I’m ready to go
I’m standin’ here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breakin’, it’s early morn
The taxi’s waitin’, he’s blowin’ his horn
Already I’m so lonesome I could die
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you’ll wait for me
Hold me like you’ll never let me go
‘Cause I’m leaving on a jet plane
I don’t know when I’ll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go
I’m …
There’s so many times I’ve let you down
So many times I’ve played around
I’ll tell you now, they don’t mean a thing
Every place I go, I think of you
Every song I sing, I sing for you
When I come back I’ll wear your wedding ring
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you’ll wait for me
Hold me like you’ll never let me go
‘Cause I’m leaving on a jet plane
I don’t know when I’ll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go
Now the time has come to leave you
One more time, oh, let me kiss you
And close your eyes and I’ll be on my way
Dream about the days to come
When I won’t have to leave alone
About the times that I won’t have to say …
Oh, kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you’ll wait for me
Hold me like you’ll never let me go
‘Cause I’m leaving on a jet plane
I don’t know when I’ll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go
And I’m leaving on a jet plane
I don’t know when I’ll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go
But I’m leaving on a jet plane
Leaving on a jet plane
Leaving on a jet plane
Leaving on a jet plane
Leaving on a jet plane
Leaving on a jet plane
Leaving on a jet plane
Leaving on a jet plane
(Leaving) On a jet plane
Weaauufroooommmm
Yo! you can fly you can fly you can fly! so cheap!

Maybe after CNY only can plan to go somewhere…
That’s why I always backpacking.
