Might sound a bit crazy, my flight is 7am, can bring my family in just after midnight?

Realised that we have not really explored the transit area, though things may be limited at such early hours

Another question, any lobangs to get a Taiwan sim that allows us to extend expiry? Cause likely to make multiple trips in a year

most shops are closed after midnight in the transit area. nothing much to do.

the rest close between 11pm - 1am

Thought Agoda only charge in sgd?
If you manage to see it in foreign currency, do select that.
Unless it is v obvious price is a huge margin, then select sgd.

You didn't use hotelscombined to look for cheapest pricing from all the ota?
Hotels.com, if member also give special price.

I prefer to use sgd, other currency there is a charge I think.

I chose NT$

member special price only for certain hotels ...
Same here, usually use sgd ...
For agoda, if pay in sgd, cancel the booking, the refund would still be the same amount in sgd ...

Normally use expedia ... their discount seems more attractive
both r under the same group though ...

i use booking.com, show me SGD

but go there still paid in NTD

the SGD shown is just the rough figure based on the exchange rate that they r using

agoda should be the same, cuz agoda and booking.com under the same corporation

just now the price quoted under agoda excluded tax while booking will include the tax
so in the end, still the same same

how i know, cuz i had tested and tried

[calkel20]

I will check agoda and also the hotel's website.
At times, hotel is cheaper.

[dede1217]

I find booking on 3rd party website is cheaper generally ...
there are discounts provided by 3rd party website.
having said , there might also be chances where direct is cheaper ...

so far all the hotels that I have stayed, usually from 3rd party websites.
mostly used agoda, expedia.com ... rarely use booking.com and hotels.com

[rrr2015]

if you pay during booking, in sgd
if you pay later, in nt$
