hmm interesting, domestic flights. perhaps i should drive from SG to JB then start an islandhop around northern malaysia. Is that a good deal?

HAHA yep! whee back to kuching after 3 months

lol k guys! wooohoooo everythings resolved. ICA allowed me to make an instant passport, will collect it today at 3pm. hehe. Now i only have to worry about the itinery of the trip

ok guys i've checked with ICA they asked me to deal with Malaysia's High Commision. called them, the officer refused to help and directed me to go to ICA again. In case, it does not work out, can someone confirm with me the rest of the 6 tickets can still be received right, although me being the one who booked them dont get to go?

OMG! I will be flying with Jetstar to Kuching this Wednesday. I just found out yesterday that the passport validity to Sarawak for Singapore passports is 6 months. My passport will expire in July 2009 and to make a new passport will take at least 3 working days. To make matter worse, I cannot just get an instant extension since the passport has reached its 10 years expiration. So now, my next option is to not go to Kuching BUT theres 6 other family members under my booking name. So anyone has any idea that in the event that I back out, can the other 6 still proceed on or are they barred from entering too? And can I confirm if its 6 months not 3 months to enter Kuching?

ahh. nvm i guess i shall move on. noone has any inputs,i guess

still curious...

wait. but the difference is that, this is a sales vs nonsale period comparison. not a sales vs sales one. Why would they claim that its a sales with given deadline when the price post-deadline is cheaper than the former?

^ Standard faresSingapore Kuching $29 Sale fares There are no sale fares at the moment. Please visit our all day every day low fares. However, on the booking page, the sales fare is clearly showed. While when I did my booking within the sales period, it was not indicated. if thats a glitch, than im at the losing end , no? shouldnt i get to enjoy the 0 dollars fare for the round flights? anyone has any idea if i should pursue this matter? 140 SGD is quite alot and we can channel that to our miscellanous expenses in Kuching.

There was a Pre-Natas Fare Sales for Jetstar with booking period from 23rd February to 1st of March. Initially,the fares for Sin- KCH on the 18th-21st (going and return respectively) was 0 dollars for both that means the total per pax is 80. I have already collected that amount from my relatives. However, on the morning of 1st March it was 0 for going and 20 SGD for returning. Since I thought I would miss the dateline of offer, I booked for 7 passengers amounting to 700 exactly without the insurance coverage. To my dismay, I checked the standard rates 10 minutes ago and it is 0 + 0 for both while the offer has ended. Is this some kind of marketing strategy? I find this revelation very disappointing and wonder if there is any way we can find out what happened. I hope we can get the benefit of booking within the sales period. If not, whats the use of it when we can have a much cheaper fares without the rush and trouble? The Jetstar hotline being virtually impossible to get thru is also much to my upset. Brr.

oopsie, i did the put the name on both first and last column, hehe. Hopefully it is alright. Thanks guys. Looking forward to Kuching!

nope. her passport name is basically that. no last name or surname. im sooo panicky since the promo will end soon

Hi guys, im booking some jetstar tickets to Kuching. My aunt's maid only has a first name but the form requires both first and last name to proceed on. Any idea what I should put? NIL or for domestic helpers we have to apply through another channel? PS: how come the sales fare was removed for the flight KCH- SIN on 21st march. so sad. haha

when i am overcomed by such fears, i hold a constant reminder closely to my heart: when He invites you, in can take place irregardless of the place. faith is what keeps me strong.

its confirmed now that we will be staying at harbourview. hope i have a great vantage point for photography there. We will prolly need help one the subsequent days after settling down. whee. Thats nice of you Kenneth, I'll consuly my uncle and see what he thinks . There'll be 3 adults, 2 teens, and 2 toddlers. Wow, thats quite costly, I reckon I'll have to bring some spare change to enter the tourist attractions. I would love to learn more about the tribal people indepth, that'll be enriching. Nearer the date, I'll confirm with you, Kenneth the helpful. Well, sorry again for my obnoxiosity, most are due to my kiasuness doing everything by the book. Now that I have booked the flights, there's no turning back I guess Taxis are more reliable? In travelwiki, it says the drivers charged you not according to the supposed meters but just their own discretion. Really? Ada hantu ke? hehehe. I assume harbourview hotel is just beside it? To each his own- Fendy. Hope one day you are desensitize and leave that bad experience behind "D

with the 15kg cap on luggage, i assume i'll only bring home dirty laundries heheehe i will shower you with average looking pictures

thank you! you know who i am right, iskandar from flickr , thanks for the help in directing me to this forum. thnaks for the guide, kenneth. you've been very helpful since day 1. I will be going there with 6 other family members. It's either Harbourview Hotel or Kuching hotel. From 21st to 25th, very long right. hehe hope that it will be a blast! As a photography enthusiasts, I'm yearning for some pictureque places to shoot near the hotel or elsewhere. I heard the taxis are not reliable, guess I will be taking bus rides then. I guess I should loan a DSLR for the tirp hehe

okay guys thanks for putting up with my nonsense. I have finalized and booked two tix to Kuching on the 21st. wish me luck since my last flight was like 6 years ago. Freaky. I'm gonna shoot lotsa photos. Now need to find an indepth guide for Kuching whee.

haha why does everyone mentioned that the credit card convenience charge is 5SGD, mine is 20 SGD so i assume thats 10SGD each per pax. wow thats cheap 45SGD only, thats equal to my tax charges hehe. Ignatius, ddid you purchase the Purrtection insurance, was it necessary?

so to summarize : - Is it risky if i don't purchase the travel insurance? Is the rate of TR flight postponement/cancellation high? - Do you think opting out the 15kg luggage for my bro so we just share 1 luggage is a smart move? If i uncheck those two components, that would be 450SGD total.

Omg, sorry if i came across being obnoxious or whatnots. I don't have a credit card, that's my dad's. I mean the process and hidden costs are tricky. I don't get the convenience cost portion where we have to pay 20 bucks just because we pay via Visa. Just would like to know that if we book online, is that the only payment mode available? Well then that would offset the internet discount, thats what i thought. Its 490SGD. And the 40 dollars is in SINGAPORE Dollars. That would be like 100 Ringgit wasted, no? I'm thinking of just having one luggage and sharing them with my bro's so its 7kg +7kg + 15kg. I'm kinda stressed out as this is our first independent vacation and our parents donot want to fork out any amount for us. Needless to say, every SGD is worth alot.

yup omg its so silly first its 450 for 2 tix then when i wanna pay by credit it rose to 490. im gonna die. do you guys think the Tigerrr insurance is mandatory? i was thinking of not opting for that. is there a way i dont need to pay the convenience fare. wow i feel cheated the internet discount price is offset by the credit card convenience cost. or am i missing something like other payment methods. im so broke im 18 and i am sad

yes, whyyyy is there something life jeopardizing that i should know if i take Tiger?

why , sir?
