Any idea about any promotional flight tickets to Taipei coming up? Last year I went with MAS was at RM900/pax, which is pretty much a steal. Was looking forward to visit again mid of next year but the ticket price is so expensive now.... sigh. Anyway, there's a AA-X promotion going on now and price was around RM650 (ticket+airport tax). Do u think this is a good price?
*
OMG.. you manage to get RM650 with tax. Issit return??

i believe 650 is without luggage, meals, insurance etc.

Yeap, i just checked! Booking AA always need to add in luggage meals and insurance.

Anyway all together RM780 return per person consider okay?

Or should i wait for another promo?

I am planning to travel next year March smile.gif

WOW your friend is so lucky. I heard this year Taiwan tix all shoot up. Last year it was cheaper, i guess many people wanna visit taiwan now.

I don't know if should wait. What you guys think of another promo? hmm.gif

I guess you can wait for the annual zero fare promo. I got 12 tickets last year, and going this saturday smile.gif

it's RM425/pax, didn't manage to get the zero fare tickets (i think about RM250++) but good enough for me smile.gif
*
I tot the annual fare finished last month rclxub.gif You know the AA biggest sale. I was there too but couldn't manage to book so i'm waiting for next best thing.

The promo is mostly 9mth to 1 yr ahead lah..So not easy..furthermore. to get ticket really to coincide to your wanted date will not be easy.  smile.gif ..as an idea, any ticket ~ RM800 return consider very good dy  smile.gif
*
Really drool.gif I already set all my travel dates edy. JUst need to get the tix..

I got AA around RM800 return la. how you rate to grab it? scale of 1-10

Exactly the very good price.. but u hv to check the month of traveling.. June to July is summer and very hot and may have typhoon..
I went on last June.. it's hot.. and i think May maybe a bit better
*
Does it mean it's really really hot in June? Did you manage to enjoy yourself in taiwan?

I didn't manage to get promo tickets on May, so i ended up buying in June cos i noticed promo tix selling very fast.

Guys, any experience travelling in June you can share?

Weather averagely in the noon and night ? How about rain? Usually full day or half day? The shops during this season, issit high price and is there any summer sale?

I beg to differ. I was in Taiwan 8-14 July 2011. Weather not that bad as what peeps say about "hot".

Typhoon was passing by Taiwan and going up to Japan, brought little rain and cool down everything smile.gif

Unless you are the type that can't tolerate Malaysian weather (Sunny or Rainy), and prefer Taiwan to be in Genting Mode, there's nothing so different in Taiwan.

Else if you prefer cold weather, should go during their autumn or winter time then smile.gif
*
So i can expect weather like Malaysia? smile.gif

is the rain usually full day or just half day? I would like to quite a lot of sight seeing and market walking.

How about the shopping there during this season? Do they have summer sale usually ?

Btw, how's shopping like in Taiwan.. hehehe^^

I booked my upcoming Taiwan trip via Reliance. VISA is not needed.

Thanks for the tip!

Btw, anyone else have some opinions on taxi driver?

I'm actually a banana and i don't read chinese, so am a bit noob in doing research.

I am planning to be in taipei for shopping, then want to visit sun moon lake, hotspring, yehliu , geopark, are they all far from each other?
