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
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
so i went back to Traveloka
and accidentally found that
they have similar fare
minus the transaction fees
Traveloka / JAL/MAS / KL-Tokyo
some dilly dally took place
and i wasn’t able to
find the same fare again
from
Traveloka / JAL/MAS / KL-Tokyo
it was suddenly jumping to
Traveloka / JAL/MAS / KL-Tokyo
then i decided to
go back to CTrip and
proceed with 4 tickets instead of 5
Ctrip / JAL/MAS / KL-Tokyo
and they were telling me like what
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
for this price which is at
an average of MYR 1366 per pax
well done Traveloka
haha MYR 25 coupon
is almost like nothing, isn’t it
and would have to
book the remaining
1 adult and 2 children’s
at a much higher price
Traveloka / JAL/MAS / KL-Tokyo
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
and within the next 24 hours
the price remained at 4.9k for three
and decided to just proceed
Traveloka / JAL/MAS / KL-Tokyo
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
but it’s alright
at least everything is secured
and we are on our way to
Tokyo this Summer!!
