Flight Searcher X Deal Scouter: Skyscanner

winter plan taking a turn

now there’s someone who is willing to travel

and her schedule is 100% the same like mine!!

next question

where to head to?

 

we spent the whole afternoon

in lab during the free and easy class

researching where to go

 

but it’s not so easy

since it is already late September

with RM 200, the furthest we can go is Langkawi

 

whereas

if you are booking much in advance

under RM 200 can bring you to

Asean and some Asian destination already

 

or to maximum the fun

we can go as far as our budget allows

summer at the southern hemisphere for RM 1.2k

or

winter at the northern hemisphere

which was my initial winter plan

but at RM 2000+

 

and the AirAsia website

which always screws up

during promotion period

they direct you to the waiting room

and it’s never-ending

 

non-promotion period

they keep returning the error code

whenever you are trying to

refresh the page to another date

just to look for better deal

 

fret not!!!

here’s your savior

skyscanner

 

http://www.skyscanner.net/

external flight search

for airlines all over the world

 

 

and it’s even more efficient and stable

than Airasia

when it comes to searching Airasia flight

 

Eg:

there is this monthly view

daily price are displayed

 

and you can even make your search

crossing months and year

going on Dec, 2011

coming back on Feb, 2011?

no problem

 

which Airasia always returns error code

because they have two servers

one for those flying before 1st Jan

one for those after 31st Dec

so what if I am flying on 30th Dec

and returning on 2nd Jan

error code is what they give you

 

OMG

I think I am being addicted to this

Skyscaner monthly view flight plan

been playing with it for different destination

 

Japan this winter?

less than a thousand ringgit?

impossible…

Skyscanner monthly-view search

 

yup..

Skyscanner doesn’t lie

when I cross-check with Airasia

both ways are promo prices

and perfect take-offs on Sundays

Kuala Lumpur - Japan

 

London:

before that I thought Kuwaits Air gives

the lowest on earth at RM 2.6k

wait a minute

this is even cheaper

Skyscanner London search

 

then..

cross-checking with Airasia again

both ways promo

both ways promo

 

therefore the total is..

accurate as provided by Skyscanner

they are way faster though

and directly giving you the price

tax, what what surcharges included

London-Kuala Lumpur

 

and even if you do not know

where you really want to go

just go for the Everywhere search

and they give you a list of places you can go to

2011.09.27 Skyscanner Everywhere

 

so how??

RM 200 langkawi or

RM 2000 London

this is a tough decision to make, really

 

it’s no longer about

how expensive the flight ticket is already

  • do you have the time
  • do you have the right companion
  • do you have the travelling plan
