We are going to bandung … but not with Air Asia.
I was about to cancel my leaves when I accidently landed on KLM web site. After looking at the price flying to Jakarta, I straight away booked a pair of ticket for both of us.
With Air Asia the flight tickets is about +-1200 for 2 persons flying to Bandung. With KLM I only need to pay RM 598 for 2 person to Jakarta. I survey around and it seem transport from Jakarta to Bandung should be less than Rm 200. Thinking of taking the train from Bandung to Jakarta so we can enjoy the scenery.
The KLM flight time is better than Air Asia. KLM departed from KLIA. I don’t need to pay for my check in Bags or my meals (not that it’s a long fight but still …).
we are yet to decide whether we want to spend a night in Jakarta. I’ve been to Jakarta for work. May be I should check the Mangga Dua complex since hubby is with me the last time I was in Jakarta my colleagues advised me not to go there alone. We don’t plan on doing shopping but more toward spending time together exploring and trying stuffs…
I haven’t book any room yet but according peoples I can just walk in… Not sure whether I’ll do that but I think hubby would prefer having everything prepared and booked as he’s not that adventurous.
Well guess it true what Ady commented in my prevous post… thing happen for reason…
We are not going to Bandung …
It seem like we are not going anywhere after all …. Due to Air Asia system error … The transaction we did last night was Failed but it was charged to my credit card … In simple word we pay for nothing … RM1800 charged to Air Asia but Air Asia claimed there was no record of the transaction.
The bank had given me the approval code and transaction details but … No record was found in Air Asia database. We did about 10 calls to Air Asia and 5 calls to credit card company just to canceled the transaction. According to Air Asia customer service it would take 30 to 60 days for them to refund back the money but I need to submit my credit card statement. Up till now the transaction yet to cancel… argh ….
I never shouted at customer service but today it totally over the limit that I can handle. What I need from Air Asia is just a black and white stated there was no record of my credit card transaction last night and fax it to my credit card for cancellation (void it) …Why do they need my credit card statement? I wonder? I already provide them with transaction details. Now everyone can fly and got screwed …
I’m so mad right now … I’m canceling my leaves … I can’t go a week after coz there’s a family event in Ipoh. After that would also be a NO NO since my sister in law is due to deliver soon and she would be staying at out home for a while … June and July would be a busy month for me … August we will start puasa … so I guess no holiday trip with hubby this year …
Going to Bandung
We felt that we need to take a short break. Since hubby new pay day is 18th … yeah I know it’s really early. We booked Bandung holiday package through air asia go holiday.
We’ll be flying off on April 30th and coming back on May 02nd. Hopefully after this trip I won’t be too stressed for work. Planned to bring only the camera + 35mm 1.8 …. hubby is planning to look for a belt bag for the camera. According to him it would be easier to carry around than my 7 million crumpler.
Any suggestion + tips on places to visit, transportation or food? This is my first time travelling outside malaysia with hubby… hope it would be a pleasent one… As hubby don’t really fancy windows shopping.
Love my weekend …
Got myself Nikon 35mm f/1.8 AFS on Saturday and on Sunday had O’brient’s for bfast and then lunch TGIF Fadzli and family for his coming birthday (April 17). I know it way too early
