HK Flight Promo

[calkel20]

Stroller is FOC, best is bring to boarding gate as normally check in at counter, the chances of stroller damage is quite high. Also please remember to get the baggage tag for your stroller and ensure the staff tag it. As for Kid meal, If not wrong is really some snacks for the child.

For below 2, likely infant baby food.

Panerex planning 20 Nov-25 Nov.. Very hard to get promo for this period le. Dont think will have last min promo le since is sch holiday already. Anyway if really want to travel, just go ba

Your right cx cities cc promo At $278 travel is to 31 mar 2017 but big season fares apply from 19 nov.

If can shift a little earlier can mean quite some savings. Checked 11-14 nov can get $277.60

 

[Panerex]

thanks all the helpful insights. really appreciate.

I am not able to shift the dates earlier due to work commitment.

I think I shall proceed to book from the local tour agent for the CX tickets. Per pax about $70 more as compared to Jetstar but at least have a bigger plane, full-flight service.

Are tour agency prices cheaper than buying direct from the airline? I always thought agency prices are more expensive.

Same thoughts here ...
if i m not wrong, if u were to book budget airline, prices normally cheaper if u were to book direct ...

For full fledged, I understand that they can use gds system to book ...
However, in my opinion, would still think book from direct airline or ota is better
afterall travel agencies need to sell higher, to cover their overheads and rental cost ...

I've encountered occasions where agency was able to give good price a while back. Not saying it's always the case.

I've checked cx online for period 20-25 nov best is $408. In this case, the agency is able to give a competitive price.

Self help probably get rebates back thru cashback program
400 for a few person can become anything from 3~7%
So may consider doing it yourself
Next, i heard before travel agent can be cheaper even for budget but then it is hard to believe though.

Agree ... last time my friend went to travel agencies to book ticket
then the airline also enter the budget airline website ...
then told my friend, we book for you, we would charge 20sgd more as admin fees.

One colleague of mine told me he got it cheaper for qingdao at travel agent in chinatown.
Or maybe promo was running while they were checking.
Anyone's guess.

Hopefully SQ fares can drop to $270+ range for early Jan travel.

Should be full fledged airline ...
my understanding is that gds system gives travel agencies cheaper price
is up to them to mark up how much they wanna sell the ticket ...

Bought our SQ tickets during August promotion for early Jan too. Cost us $380+ each. I don't think it'll drop to $270+, unless you fly on weekdays to and back from HK and on early hours.

Why so ex? You're going over the New Year's Day period? I am intending to fly on a Wed and back on Sat.

Looking for same period. Cx and sq can get below $300. Issue is flight out if around 7am or in afternoon. Hoping for delayed 9-10am

Yes. Fly on Sunday before 9am and back on Thu before 4pm. Just take 3D leave. Didn't want to take the flight too early as well.

 

[Panerex]

Wow, you guys really plan early, all the way till next year already.

I always do at most 2 months in advance, hence can never enjoy good flight pricing

I bought my Dec Japan flight tickets back in April. I'm currently looking at March 2017 flights to HK, and already looking out for early bird flight deals to Taipei in Dec 2017...

I think I very kiasu haha..

Think generally many of us prefer to buy tickets early, plus promotions! I bought my April tickets to Japan last October and planned my itinerary only after I'd secured a 3N stay in MiraCosta (6 months before the trip). Planning for Japan again in next Nov. My friends like to book tickets at least 8-12 months ahead as well.

Anyway HK is quite near SG, my SO prefers here to Taiwan and SEA anytime too. So hope to come more often (that's if we could afford it)

Dec, they would always block out ...
since demand is alot more higher than supply

however this year tiger have a one-off promo (usually would not happen)
during their ndp promo, they have 119sgd to taipei , only for one flight ...
even if end dec xmas or new year period, price is 191sgd

perhaps next year can look forward to good promo ..
