QUOTE(fuu @ Jan 18 2011, 06:27 PM) Hi everyone, I plan to travel to Hong Kong next month. The thing is, this is my first time going on a plane. So, I'm quite worried about few things. I did search for information online, but it will be a great help if there are some feedbacks from experienced people too 1)like they said above about rdy about rm3k I will be taking Cathay Pacific airlines and will be there for 4 days. I haven't decided on the itinary nor accomodation yet. Right now, I am very worried,including on how to even pass the airport check-in >< Money 1) What is the estimation of money should I bring over? Assuming I just go there for normal sightseeing and not shopping spree. 2) In HK Dollars or USD? 3) What is the price range of things there (especially food). Example, if a bowl of noodles/plate of rice in KL is ~RM5, how much will it cost in HK? Insurance 4) Should I buy travel insurance? If yes, what is the recommended one? And how much? Clothing 5) Will 1 pair of jeans be enough? I read that the weather next month is quite chilly. 6) Will sandals be a good choice of footwear, or should I wear sports shoes instead? 7) Do I need very thick jackets or normal jackets will do? Luggage 8) I plan to bring only hand-carry luggage, which is 7kg maximum. Will there be a margin for it, eg +/- 1 kg? 9) According to flight rules, no sharp objects is allowed. What if I have no choice and must bring my housekeys along? Is that forbidden? 10) For my toiletries, if I bring along the original travel packs of my toiletries, is it ok? Or I must change it to transparent 100ml bottles? Payment & Ticketing 11) Can I use debit card to pay for the flight tickets? I do not have a credit card. 12) Cathay Pacific is using e-ticketing system. Does it mean if I reach KLIA, I just need to show them the passport and the print out of my payment to board the flight? 13) I read on the ERL website that Cathay Pacific passengers can check in at the counter of KL Sentral. How is the process like? 14) What does check-in at Sentral means? Will they just confirm my presence or will it include checking of luggages etc? Erm, that's all for now. I really appreciate it if there's anyone who's willing to give some feedback and advise  Thank you.  2)then convert some to HKD 1st just incase cos later wanna take train/taxi no HKD abit susah,then others to USD 3)donno nvr been there before but got feedback from ppl after come back from hk,wantan mee quite big bowl kinda expensive if convert like that. 4)up to u,but nothing much unless u really think u so unlucky something will happen to yr flight. touchwood 5)bring 1 or 2 pair incase u dirtied 1 of it then still got backup 6)don wear sandals even if the weather is not so chilly it wouldnt be nice wearing sandal around when others is wearing shoes. 7)the avg temp for the month of feb is about 20C so i think u wouldnt need a down jacket. just a t-shirt then plus a jacket,like going to genting. 8)depends on how much things u bringing 9)key shud be ok i guess just throw inside yr check-in luggage if u are checking in any bags. 10)trust me don put liquid inside yr handcarry bag and bring inside the airplane.cos i tried when coming back from korea got stop by the custom girls cos 1 of my cosmetic liq content about 120ml then have to throw away like that.the bottle cost me rm100!! and just throw away like that,heartache 11)not sure but i think debit card is not acceptable i guess 12)not sure dint fly with cathay pacific before 13)not sure too 14)not sure too btw if u dont mind how much u got yr air ticket for? hope my reply helped u.

QUOTE(aeiou228 @ Jan 14 2012, 11:17 PM) Ding ding is cheaper and you get to use fast track queue to the ticket exchange counter. Buy crystal cable car ticket can cut 90% of queue time. u mean crystal cable car is for the ngong ping 360 rite? |
