how is the food there?

hey guys, is rm615 cheap for a return flight ticket to seoul? This is airfare+airport tax. If including luggage and meal it will go up to rm700

is it the current promotion? RM279+-? thats the lowest i've seen so far for several months..of coz cant compare when AA 1st introduce Seoul route.
go for it!

Yeah...it's the current rm279 promo...actually the previous promo, that 'whale of a sale' is slightly cheaper. It was RM555 for return tickets back then...but its only rm60 difference and if i were to wait for the next promo, it might be early next yr and i have to travel early 2013...i'm still considering but most prob i'll go for it.

I book last Thursday 3 days before the sales. It was RM254. 2 person + luggage + tax for RM 1,470 on 2012 sept.

thanks alot. this helps

anyone here stayed in ann guesthouse/bangrang hostel during ur trip ??
help me choose one ..

in my opinion food is simply awesome...had nothing but good food every day...not cheap but not expensive either...really good bbq and noodles...also love all their banchan...

It's exactly the same with the current price i'm looking at. the fare i see now is also rm254.whenever airasia says 279 one way, it means fare+tax, so urs is not cheaper, just the same. I believe they already reduced the price when they announce AA promo. After AA promo period ended, they announce AAX promo. Probably, they reduced all the prices at the same time, just the announcement on dif date since i think they dun wanna overlap both promo period.

that's cheap....last time I check was around RM9++.++ - 1,000.++

I booked AA RM604 nett which included fuel, airport surcharge, meals & luggage.

I found Japanese food is cheaper than korean food. ^^

Added on September 28, 2011, 11:43 amI stayed in Ann Guesthouse last week. Ann & her husband are very friendly. Very good service and they provide free laundry service.
The location is excellent. Subway just in the basement and hongik market just opposite.
I booked Hongdae Guesthouse at 1st but I changed to Ann GH cause I found they actually in the building and the main point is the environment looks better and its cheaper.

No comment on Bangrang Hostel. Not on my survey list o....

hmmm i disagree about ppl getting sick from their food...i never had any issues and i had a big variety of food...i feel their food was cleaner and safer...not a single tummy ache...but note i had a friend working there so i get to visit many local places and try all sorts of food...

I jus mentioned if all the time bbq will get "sick" the sick means "sore throat" & cough. I never mentioned their food is " dirty " & make u tummy ache @@""

Oh well, I only had the chance to try Korean BBQ once due to te packed schedule. Even had to eat chinese food as I couldnt find any restaurants open in the middle of the night. @@

i had encountered a 7-8hrs delay flight to london also (tis is d worst..others only like 1-2hrs).. tat time i got booked connected overnite transport to manchester.. so i have to take d trouble to make an overseas call to change my bus ticket & later me & hb stranded at london airport for than 6hrs for the next bus.

yet my hb still prefer to book AA, since cheap mah. rm1.1k to korea for 2 person.
can save at least rm2k+ for shopping

in btw. it is wiser to change to USD$ here & exchange it to Won at korea?
thanks!

yes. its advisable to exchange to USD here and to KRW later when in Korea. rates over there are much better.

hello teik wing
ohh okok. duly noted. TQ

how big is the difference? if change all to WON directly or change some into USD then WON? RM50-RM100 difference? if let say im changing RM3k.

yeah~ .. juz book my flight ticks for next year june..

hmmm I dunno where my friend check, but she told me if change rm5k, diff will be rm300++.
mid yr we already change rm2k @ 2.85.
So now cc how accurate my friend said b4 hb decided to change another rm5k to usd or won....
rm300 woh. Can use it to makan seafood at busan or sokcho.. Hmmm ask ask makan raw seafood will be best at sokcho or busan??
