hellokitty82 0 Report post Posted June 18, 2007 after much consideration, we decided to take air asia to macau then transit to HK instead of take cathay coz much more cheaper.i also planning to stay around mong kok area....not a hotel, but hostel which is clean n much more cheaper...about HK220-HK280 per nite.

Alzier 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2007 hmmm kitty actually you can get everything from air asia itself. I book my flight ticket and the hotel accomodation from the air asia homepage. They are kind of cheap. My total cost for 2 person only sums up to around RM 1,176.00the break down as Air ticket was FOC cuz book during the free ticket time. So airport tax total with insurance is RM 546.00Hotel stay is at 209.98 or something so say its RM 210.00 x 3 nights its at RM630.00all in all ints RM 1,176.00 But of course after adding the ferry ticket to and fro from macau will add additional RM 200.00 to it will add up to RM 1,376.00 So not that bad still okay la.

tarrytng 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2007 (edited) The packages that I got from my travel agent...Royal Plaza hotel (5 stars) + transport from airport - hotel - airport + Cathay air morning flight + 4 days 3 nights = RM 2051Royal Plaza hotel (5 stars) + transport from airport - hotel - airport + Cathay air evening flight + 5 days 4 nights = RM 2061YMCA (3 stars) + ................................................................................... = RM 1780See.... Only RM 10 different you can stay 1 more night... Bacause afternoon flight will cheaper than morning around RM 200 and evening flight another RM 50, you save the air ticket then you can stay one more night ....Cathay flight timeable :**** Morning - 9.40am - 1.30 pm until you arrive hotel is around 4pm**** noon - 1.35pm - 5.00pm arrive hotel arounf 8.30pm**** evening - 6.55pm - 10.20pm arrive hotel 12.00amRETURN : 8.30 - 12.00pm12.50pm - 4.20 pm3.40 pm - 7.10pmYMCA (3 stars) + transport from airport - hotel - airport + China air + 5 days 4 nights = RM 1640China air timetable :KUL - HK - 7.50am - 11.30am only 1 flightHK - KUL - 6.30pm - 10.20 pm also only 1 flightNormally I wish to choose Cathay because I am a Marco Polo member, if the flight is full then I can upgrade to business class and I can go through the express counter to check in. But my friends argue with me because they are the 1st time to go HK so that they wish to have more time to stay there, so we choose China airline which the package is RM 1640 or cheaper.
