P/s: sebelum aku ke India, monolog dalam hati “this is my first and last i’ll travel to India” tapi once experienced my self, India is incredible! Cuma, my cost to India is radiculous sebab I scared to eat street food. Semua makan di 4 and 5 star Restaurant. And transportation mostly guna chauffeur.

Rocking at 8 Hard Rock Cafes, World 7 Wonders, UNESCO Pink City and 10 Incredibles India Cities

Salam Ramadhan and Namashkar to all traveller…

IMG_6535

Sebelum aku proceed to the itinerary, just nak Tanya. Korang travel untuk tujuan apa? ada yg suka view, ada yang suka history, ada yang suka city, ada yang suka food, shopping and ada jugak pegi cari ‘buddy’ during travelling.

So, aku punya tema kali ni adalah jelajah Hard Rock Cafe India (8 cafes in total) and pegi world seven wonders and UNESCO City.

Amaran: Itinerary ni hanya cadangan perjalanan. Tak perlu follow untuk jenis transportation. Hanya ambk idea je, okay?

As per request (chewaah), attached is my itinerary for previous India trip.

Hi Everybody!! Penah korang dengar tak shopping di Singapore sgt murah berbanding di Malaysia? Yerrrr… Memang murah.. Kadang2 satu barang bezanya bole cecah sehingga RM500.

Hello Shopping!
Hello Shopping!

Yessss…!!!!! Summer sales di bulan June dan Christmas sales or year end sales di bulan December setiap tahun merupakan trip yg paling ideal utk ber-mega shopping di Singapore. Tambah2 26 december…sebenarnya, mana2 negara pon memang akan ada boxing day (barang yg tak habis dijual waktu Xmas, sales up to 80%) pada tarikh tu.

By the way, no point cerita pasal Singapore kalau ada tempat lagi best! ye idok?  Here, saya nak kongsi pengalam duty free shopping di sekitar Dubai. Ye… Dubai. D.U.B.A.I, DUBAI. Jangan terkejut, Dubai memiliki Mall terbesar di Dunia… Menarik kan?

On the to Dubai Mall from Metro Dubai
Kene marah sebab guna tripod

Ok, plan asal saya, mahu ke Dubai dan Abu Dhabi. Namun harga ticket punya la mahal even beli time Matta Fair, roughly RM3500. Berbekalkan pengalaman travel saya, saya request travel agent dr Discovery travel, Aida namanya utk click ke Istanbul dan transit di Dubai selama 36 jam. Cuba teka traveller sekalian… Br harga tix saya dapat? RM 2080. i repeat, RM2080 dan saya bole cover dua tempat. Yessss!!!!

Hologram welcomes you at DXB

Walaupun waktu transit sy hanya la 36 jam dimana sehari setengah sahaja. Namun, saya terpaksa utk menginap di Hotel selama dua mlm rentetan (chewaahhh rentetan) waktu ketibaan sy di Dubai pada pkl 3 am dan waktu berlepas ke Istanbul 11 am the next two days. Hotel Xclusive Mapel yg saya menginap berharga RM150 semalam melalui hotels.com, saya mampu dpt di bilik studio room yg super duper besar dan juga kitchen yg best.

Bayar Economy tapi FLY Business Class? How come??

Salam and selamat petang untuk traveller. Mintak ampun minta maap… Kali ni saya kembali dgn nak share pasal airlines pulak.

Ramai diantara kita yg tau brand airlines seperti Air Asia dan MAS sahaja kan? (Tak semua, tp bilangan tu ramai). Malah yg sedihnya, ada yg rasa Air Asia tu jauh lg murah, walau kadang2 airlines lain bole beat the price dgn luggage 20-30kg, makan minum disedia dan entertainment on board for free!

Ok, tanpa berceloteh panjang, saya nak share mcmana nak fly dgn airlines lain (full service airlines) dengan harapan untuk free upgrade or pay less for business class cabin.

Saya penah diupgrade untuk beberapa airlines lebih 10 kali sepanjang hidup saya kalo tak silap. Dgn membayar ticket economy, tapi saya mampu merasa business class cabin.

Situation upgrade:

1) Upgrade melalui online service. Bole surf to this website www.optiontown.com . Dengan website ni, kita bole upgrade ticket economy to bis class ticket dgn bayaran yg minima. Jika dulu, MAS ada join UTO, tp skrg hanya bbrp airlines sahaja spt Vietnam Airlines, Air Asia etc. Saya penah tambah RM110 je utk merasa bis class MAS. Jimat, bukan?

2) Upgrade using frequent traveller cards such as Enrich, Skyward, Qmiles, Royal Skies etc. hanya tolak point

3) Request dgn check in counter. Untuk teknik ni, here the tips:

A) pakai mcm business man
B) confident utk request
C) mention u r frequent traveller
D) request utk flight yg x byk org dlm bisness class cabin cth, MAS ke London waktu pagi, Emirates ke Dubai waktu pagi.

4) kalo x lepas request di kaunter, bole request dlm kabin dgn Senior Flight Officer (SFO) or senang cite ketua pramugari. Ada yang berbayar, tapi please request for free. Teknik ni kene guna PR skills yg tinggi dan confident level yg 100%.

5) kalo kenal ngan pilot, bole minta trus ngan pilot… Hahahha… Ini yg paling ‘dajal’.

So, benefit utk business class:

1) luggage lebih 10kg
2) priority baggage claim
3) priority immigration clearance

Kalo PR level tahap si kancil, bole je beli direct dr website… X selalunya mahal… Penah ticket bis MAS ke Bangkok and Phuket lg murah dr eco. Begitu juga Royal Jordanian.

Qatar pulak selalu buat promo buy 1 free 1. And skrg Qatar buat promo discount RM650 utk bis class ticket.. Cuba la fly ke Phuket dgn Qatar bis class.

Selalu la usha web airlines. Sy penah dpt promo.. Closing route Qatar Singapore-Jakarta and opening route Singapore-Bali dengan harga lagi murah dari eco singapore airlines.

Nak fly? Tapi tak tahu nak pilih airlines mana? Nak Transit kat mana? Here you go!!!!

Hi.. Salam rakan Traveller sekalian… Kali ni sy nak share pulak berkaitan pemilihan airlines dan pemilihan airport.

Ramai yg tdk tahu bahawa airlines dan airport juga ada ranking bintang nya tersendiri bukan. Saya harap lepas sy share benda ni xde la yg merungut apabila naik 3 star airlines, tp nak service mcm 5 star..

Antara syarikat penerbangan bertaraf lima bintang ialah:

1) Malaysia Airlines (under review)
2) Singapore Airlines
3) Qatar Airways
4) Asiana Airlines
5) All Nippon Airways
6) Hainan Airlines

Biasanya service ground handling, call centre, in flight service, amenities and lounge service 5 star airlines ni tip top la sikit..walau kadang2 rasa juga ke’taik’an dia tu.

Tutup cite pasal airlines 5 bintang, kita sambung pulak pemilihan tempat transit.

a) Singapore airlines = Singapore
b) Thai Airways = Bangkok
c) Emirates = Dubai
d) Etihad = Abu Dhabi
e) Qatar = Doha
f) Turkish airlines = Istanbul
g) ANA and JAL = Narita
h) Air astana = Almaty

And byk la lagi, Korean Air, British Airways, Oman Air…bla bla bla.

So, lepas ni, check la dulu kat mana korang kene transit…nanti xde la mati kutu kalo transit kat airport entah apa2.. Hehehe

Antara airport bertaraf lima bintang pula:

1) Changi, Singapore
2) Hong Kong
3) Incheon, Seoul

Airport 5 star ada provide byk amenities, seperti lounge yg byk, kerusi tido, swimming pool pun ada, ada wayang free, powder room n mcm2 lg la… So, backpackers nak tido pon selesa… Siap ada carpet lg… Nak mandi senang, ada shower… X mcm Airport yang tak five star. Kosong! KLIA Airport 4 star je….

World best airport shopping: 

1) Heathrow
2) Dubai
3) Amsterdam
4) Changi
5) Hong kong

World airport dining:

1) Munich
2) Hong Kong
3) Incheon
4) Amsterdam
5) Changi

Itu saja kot…. Haaa sblm saya akhiri, satu lg sy nak share… World best airport transit:

1) Incheon
2) Changi
3) Hong Kong
4) Amsterdam
5) Narita

Nak jimat bila Melancong? Last minit Booking?? Zoom tip-tip di bawah.

Hi Traveller!!! Happy Saturday… Korang penah tak nak travel on the spot, tp selalu dpt ticket mahal… Emergency nak fly… Ticket juga mahal… Begitu juga hotel… Last minutes plan… Semua mahal!!!

Ok sy ada sikit tips… Walau x brp nak best tips yg ni.. Tp sikit juga la rasanya bole membantu..kpd spesis2 last minit travel mcm sy ni…

Ok kita tolak tepi Matta fair price, Air Asia sales, MAS deal ke apa2 airlines deal… Yg ni hanya applicable utk yg beli normal fare sahaja..

Hari yg sesuai utk travel dgn harga economy promo:

1) rabu/wednesday
2) sabtu/saturday

Alasan:
Pada hari tersebut jarang org travel.

Contoh:
Business man, working sector biasanya fly on monday or tuesday.. And back on thursday or friday… Org x pg meeting or kursus tgh2 minggu…

Bg traveller pulak, org travel on friday and sunday… Jarang org travel on tuesday… Sbb tu kbyk seat airlines kosong on saturday…

Dari segi timing pula:

1) first flight in the morning
2) last flight

Alasan:
Biasanya yg naik flight pg ni…org yg nak pg meeting, seminar or apa2 urusan kerja..dan diorg hanya beli ticket 2-3 before fly… Jd korang ambk la peluang fly pg, beli ticket 4 hari awal pon da bole murah.

Contoh:
Time sy praktikal at senai airport, tiap2 minngu sy ulang alik dr JHB-KUL… Sy dpt ticket monday morning dr MAS RM50 or Malindo RM49.
Sabtu pagi pulak naik Malindo RM39-49 perway. Lg jimat dr naik bus. Flight hari sabtu sy beli on the spot pon dpt harga tu at that time… Hahahaa

Ok, dr segi hotel pula, ada dua kategori.

1) corporate hotel
2) resort

Corporate hotel:

Hotel yg biasa ada di city centre cth westin, concorde, shangri-la, ritz-carlton.. Hotel2 mcm ni akan mahal bila weekdays and murah bila weekend… So, korang nak test branded hotel, bole la try weekend… Murah la sikit..l

Resort:
Biasanya resort akan mahal bila weekend, public holidays, cuti skolah…n bla2 cuti…
So, try la bercuti on weekdays!!!! Yg murah tu, xde la murah sgt…tp murah sikit… Kira as low season price…

Happy travelling guys!!!

MAS SINGAPORE-MANILA USD 4 jerrrr!!!

Salam Hari Malaysia Traveller!!! Kompem ramai yg ambk kesempatan ambk cuti Monday and here we go, Travel!!!!! So do i, sy masih lagi di Singapore, waiting flight utk blk KUL.

On Board to KUL

Today, just wanna share my trip to Manila using Malaysia Airlines “our nation proud airlines”.

On Board to MNL

Okay, percaya tak ticket saya ke manila RM98 return dari Singapore-Kuala Lumpur-Manila-Kuala Lumpur-Singapore? Total of 4 flights? Basic fare USD 4 je? Percaya x?

1907812_802541389765935_8766491018598112310_n

Saya pon terkejut. Setelah 3 minggu research pasal airlines, finally saya jumpa ticket through apps KAYAK.com

BTW ticket Air Asia saya ke Singapore adalah redeem points and just byr TAX and LUGGAGE sahaja.

Ok here the tips how to get cheapest fare:

No 1: download as many as apps that u can, then compare them all. Tp kayak adalah search engine yg paling baik buat masa ni pada pandangan saya.

No2: Compare dgn 3-4 destinasi. Jgn aim satu destinasi je.

No3: jgn ambk home airport flights. Sila ambk transit flight. Contoh, kalo nak naik Mas, best way naik kat Singapore or Jakarta.

No4: pengalaman sy, flight dr Sinngapore byk lg murah dr KL. So do with flight dr Bangkok.

No5: katakan kalo aim Malaysia Airlines, buka website MAS dekat negara yg kita nak fly from. Maybe ada promo kat certain route. Them your duty is to find best fare from apps base on that route.

No6: da jumpa price, date and destination yg kene dengan impian. Trus GRAB! Biasanya ada 5 je seat.

No7: happy flying!

Apa2 lets review:

Class yg saya naik Economy.

Fleet: B737-800

The Wing

Seats: rasanya kurang selesa utk flight dekat dgn 4 jam. Sbb takder neck pillow. Blanket and pillow on request. So seating sy bg 3 bintang je.

Entertainment: KUL-MNL agak bosan. Sbb most of movies sy da tgk. Tp MNL-KUL MH ada tmbh movies. So dpt la layan CHEF! Satu lagi. Ada apps al-Quran atas tu. Alhamdulillah, sempat sy mengaji walau kat umah tidak! Opppst!

Alhamdulillah.... ada ayat suci al-quran
Alhamdulillah…. ada ayat suci al-quran
Suggestion to MAS: Please provide headphone before take off.
Suggestion to MAS: Please provide headphone before take off.

Lavatory: sy bole kasi 4 bintang. Biasa la org Malaysia.

Cabin crew: ini sememangnya semua tau! 5 bintang! Sy minta mkanan 2 pack! Air 2 gelas darab 4! Hahaha diorg mmg baik!

Announcement: 5 bintang! Mmg clear. Eventhough pilot announcement. Mmg friendly and warm greeting.

Foods: KUL-MNL sy ambk both chicken and fish.

Chicken: pack yg telanjang! Nasi, ayam n sayur + biskut je. Patut la kene kutuk ngan Chef Wan. Takder appetizer, xde dessert, xde buah! Haiishh sungguh bosan! 1 bintang je lah! Mas patut stop Berahim

Ikan: portion sama mcm ayam cuma ikan berbau sangat!

By Brahims. Taste just plain. The rice are smelly.

MNL-KUL yg ni sedap! Sumpah sedap! 4 bintang utk food dr manila. Sy mkn 2 juga. Meehun with shrimp and chicken with rice. Ada juga dpt cloud 9 and drinking water. Rasa food dia ok sbb bukan Berahims.

Bufday cake: yang ni 5 bintang! Kalo nak buat surprise anda bole call Mas utk book on board bufday cake! Price bole check ngan MAS.

MH Gourmet:
Ini 5 bintang juga! Food bole order through call centre. Menu ada dlm website. Harga rm70. Route applicable when fly from KUL only. Sy xdpt nak try sbb MNL-KUL xde food ni and sy expect makanan MAS sedap mcm dulu2.

Rasanya kalo mas ada masalah kewangan, bole stop champange and wine and focus more on food. And stop berahim.

Remove alcohol and spend more on meals. as pax, we glad if our meal are real meal.

Ermm, rasanya ni je kot pengalaman sy naik MH medium haul. Tak tau la sy akan cuba ke tak utk long haul memandangkan mcm tu je food sy dpt and seat x selesa utk tido. Apa2 pon utk short haul, mmg saya akan support MH!
