it's never a good idea
to book your flight ticket in a rush
I was actually working on something
then at the same time
would like to sort this out
as soon as possible as
my sister boss has been
talking and talking and talking
she really wants to make this happen
despite I am not really keen to
to have 4 adults + 2 kids on
a family trip to HK
that is something
which have never cross my mind
having written this post last week
how I miss wandering alone in HK
but 6 is too large a number for me
first...
flight booking
as long as flight tickets are booked
that's no way I can run away from this
I guess that's what's in my sister mind
as AirAsia tickets
go by this price discrimination tier
there are only 4 tickets left at
a certain price
had to book it in two batches
and since only 4 are left
it's to grab the last 4 now or
buy all 6 at a more expensive price
by the way
I just realize
there's not much difference
between adult and kid tickets
well.. understandable
they occupy a seat anyway
batch #1
2 adults & 2 kids
for my sister's family
suddenly all the sections
e.g: hot seat selection, meals,
x'tra luggage weight
I have been skipping all these while
are applicable when you are
going on a family trip
but of course
being a tour guide
keeping my tour members satisfied
would be my top priority
despite it is not my personal practice
then suddenly
something happened
my sis performed the transaction
via her online banking
I went to fix the collapsed
Ferrari garage for my nephew
in seconds when I came back
it showed that
the transaction code is invalid
so we were not even redirected to
a confirmation page
yet she got confirmation SMS
from the bank informing of
a successful transaction
and the transfer has been reflected in
her transaction record
I hate situation like this
and would never want to
go through another one
as the payment is pending
you would be in catch-22
either to book for new pairs of tickets
or to wait for a confirmation
and if it was released some weeks later
you gonna find tickets are at
a totally different prices
while calling up the bank
going through the long call transfer
hey yup suddenly got confirmation email
and the payment status is cleared
okay.. good grief
batch #2
2 adult tickets for
myself and my mom
that's what I mean
the price for third flight of the day
is no longer at 391.08 MYR
simply because I grabbed the 4 seats left
suddenly realized
I have made a mistake of
booking 40 kg for my sister
due to my really lousy Mathematics
in fact booking 20 x 2 kg would be better
anyway
okay proceeded to payment
somehow did not work again
simply because I was logged in
at another tab in my online banking account
and they wouldn't allow double log-in
well thank goodness to this
because while I went through the details
realized I have filled up a wrong year for
my mom's birthday..
detail editing was not available
probably can only do so at an extra charge
the booking was put on hold for an hour
so I got back to my work
got it all done
before I came back to
make a new booking after
the previous one was released
alright done finally
marked!
weather is around 15'C in HK
alright at least the bulk of
duffel coat, denim jacket, varsity jacket etc
I bought two days ago can be
put to use pretty soon
