How Sure Are You X Confused Mode: Booked for Good

To Book or Not to X More Travel Blue: Good Timing Rules

i have almost 100 screenshots

taken since Tuesday evening

that i seriously don’t know

which is which

 

to keep the story

short and simple

on Tuesday evening

since we confirmed that

we have two expired passports

we should just proceed to

book the other five tickets

 

that’s the price for five

Ctrip / JAL/MAS / KL-Tokyo

Ctrip flight booking

 

then I realize that i actually

don’t have enough balance

to pay for the full amount

after a transaction fee of USD 46 USD

is being added during the final step

CTrip / KL-Tokyo

Ctrip flight booking

 

so i went back to Traveloka

and accidentally found that

they have similar fare

minus the transaction fees

Traveloka / JAL/MAS / KL-Tokyo

Traveloka flight booking

 

some dilly dally took place

and i wasn’t able to

find the same fare again

 

from

Traveloka / JAL/MAS / KL-Tokyo

Ctrip flight booking

 

it was suddenly jumping to

Traveloka / JAL/MAS / KL-Tokyo

Ctrip flight booking

 

then i decided to

go back to CTrip and

proceed with 4 tickets instead of 5

Ctrip / JAL/MAS / KL-Tokyo

Ctrip flight booking

and they were telling me like what

Ctrip flight booking

 

after rounds and rounds of

failure to secure tickets

at the same price

kinda clueless what’s next

 

then decided to given up

and give it another try

next morning, on Wednesday

 

where i finally managed to book

four adult tickets

at the best combo available

Traveloka / JAL/MAS / KL-Tokyo

Traveloka flight booking

for this price which is at

an average of MYR 1366 per pax

Traveloka flight booking

 

well done Traveloka

haha MYR 25 coupon

is almost like nothing, isn’t it

Traveloka flight booking

 

and would have to

book the remaining

1 adult and 2 children’s

at a much higher price

Traveloka / JAL/MAS / KL-Tokyo

Traveloka flight booking

 

passport renewal

was not as smooth as expected

my client was chased out

because her romper was above knee

 

and there was a slight delay

during payment as it was their

day 1 implementing card payment

what a waste because

i actually found this on CTrip

while we were waiting to be called

Ctrip / JAL/MAS / KL-Tokyo

Ctrip flight booking

 

and within the next 24 hours

the price remained at 4.9k for three

and decided to just proceed

Traveloka / JAL/MAS / KL-Tokyo

Traveloka flight booking

 

that would make 10.4k for

7 tickets to Tokyo

an average price of 1.5k per pax

which is considered reasonable

giving the season, timing, airline

 

there makes a 1.7k difference from

what we KIV-ed at 8.7k

in the first place last Saturday

Traveloka / JAL/MAS / KL-Tokyo

Traveloka flight booking

 

but it’s alright

at least everything is secured

and we are on our way to

Tokyo this Summer!!
