azimuth Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Exactly. But I guess it would be an eye (candies) opener for those new to circuit parties lol I didn't pre-order the party ticket though. I will go and take a look if I feel like it. I doubt they will get sold out anyway. Free and easy. Heh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enelym1978 Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Shouldn't you be putting your seat number so that the person know is you when in the plane? Seat numbers can change... airlines can change your pre-set seat (yes they can), or those who booked budget might have taken the option without seat assignment to save another buck or two. Seat assignments should be discussed at online check-in between the interested parties I guess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaohsiung is under marketed by the Tourism board too.When I was there last year, my group met a volunteer museum guide (a married retiree without children). After chit chatting and knowing our visit, he hosted us for the next 4 days driving us around to all the lesser known places and to/fro Tainan. He even paid for our makan at local eatery and buffet at hotel. All which we tried to pay or pay without his knowledge, and failed terribly. He insisted as host, he would pay for everything. Even for payments which we have already made, he got the cashier to return us the money and he pays for it.Whichever city that we next visit, he tries to get his friends to host us.That is how hospitable Taiwanese are. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CX is really pricing aggressively for HK and beyond via SIN. I paid about S$500 for HK/Taipei Have a good trip to Tokyo (perhaps consider MH instead of CX next time?

Enelym1978 Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 I'd rather do a stop over or a transit in HKG than KUL to be honest Plus, you're kinda flying "backwards" if your final destination is Taiwan, losing a bit more time. CX can be super cheap, $500 more or less from SIN to TPE or HKG. Very restrictive booking class but once you're decided... why not? SQ is just crazy with $1000-1500....

They only have limited seats at those prices... they are used to attract your attention and once you're there, you see fares at $600-$800 and you will still go for them, cuz still cheaper than SQ for example Yield management same goes for hotels.

Enelym1978 Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 Just FYI, Scoot is having huge sales right now.... $3 per way, Fly, to any destinations out of Singapore. Taipei still has some fares at $3+$3 + taxes. Total is around $170 for Fly only. Forget about weekends though. Fly out on Wednesday for example, and back on Monday.
