How much approx to taiwan
- Thread starter arishize
- Start date
A rough gauge. I flew scoot for around $200+ with check-in luggage two ways. Taipei budget hotel stay should cost you between $70-$90 a night, southern side like Kaohsiung will be cheaper. A decent meal (not restaurant) cost you less than $10.
depending on your travel dates
budget airline:
jetstar 132 cheapest this year
scoot 166 cheapest this year
excludes cc fees $20 per person or offline payment $5 per person, or you can use vouchers ...
excludes optional add on such as luggage, seats, meal, etc
full fledged airline
sq eva china airline, 400+
hotels:
sun to thur : 3* xmd hotel might cost 40+ to 70+ per night
fri to sun: price might be doubled ... search for other hotels perhaps ...

hi, ask a noob question.
for scoot, can carry 2 cabin size luggages?
I got cabin size backpack + cabin size luggage.
need to buy extra luggage?
each can carry 10kg?
back pack 10kg + luggage 10kg?

By the book 7kg per pax
If you carry more, they may ask you to check in, that's will be more costly then normal check in.

is not by the book 7 kg, it is stated in their website 10kg carry-in bag.
Didn't notice scoot allow 10kg, most airlines is 7kg.
my trip last month on jetstar ...
there is one airport staff ...
her job is to weigh people's luggages
she random pick ppl ...
so suay in the morning 10+am, she picked us =.=
she weighed our luggages, together with our bags and waterbottle, all must put on the weighing machine she says ...
in the end our both luggages 13kg, but our bag with camera, water bottle with water etc is 3kg+ ... we planning to pour the water before boarding ...
she says must checked in the bag
in the end, she says, this time let u all go since is your first time ...
her job is to catch people's handcarry is below the weight given by the airline ...

Which airline? Airasia also very strict on this but didn't see them weighing.
Jetstar ... the staff should be from Changi Airport ...
She was in grey color uniform, not jetstar staff for sure ...
at terminal 1 ...
she stations around that area where you show your passport to verify,
before going into the immigration counter to scan your passport ...
saw her aim at those with one cabin luggage + 1 bag per pax ...
she would ask u put everything u have on the weighing machine, including your water bottle, books, food , jacket , etc ... she advised us to wear our jackets if we have , to lighten our load =.=
Thanks, I always less than 7kg.

kenna asked to weight my baggage once and i'm wasn't even with cabin luggage. only with rolling backpack + day backpack.
some very pro, they just "weight" your baggage with their arm & know if it exceed allowance

Haha yeah, seen that before in singapore and in some other countries
the officer would use their hand to lift up your luggage
then they would know u pass or failed, need to weigh your bag ...
I always have to borrow < 1 kg from friends ...
cox empty luggage is already 3kg ...
plus my clothings , portable big bags, about 6.7 to 7.6kg already ...
Jetstar quite strict. Especially after you check in and they start weighing u, good luck. No discount on check in luggage.
Scoot wise, if one cabin bag and a backpack, they can be restrictive as well.
Encountered before. Excuse was , sir your bag is rather big. Over our size limit.
They seldom have issues with ladies of huge handbags though.
So guys, backpack n luggage together can be a nono.

Longchamp huge ones.
If it seems too bulky to be light, sure kena ask to check in.
