Include air flight tickets?

Here's my cost for hotel and flights

Flight ticket for 2 - RM720
Hotel stay for 2 (6 days, 5 nights) - RM1.3k

As for food, I'm trying to calculate the base cost now. and might take extra HKD2-3k per person as pocket money to there.

WHOA!!! Nice price for flight tickets. Last I checked like 2 days ago, Air Asia with like luggage and seat arrangements charges are like RM1200 for 2 people.

A relative managed to rent a 2 bedroom unit at HarbourView Suite @ Hong Hum for HKD1000 per day. One room with double bed and another with single bed. It is not legal as the suite is built to rent out for long term but some just do it for various reasons. Comes with a living room and kitchen for cooking well. Can sleep 4-5 if you don't mind cramping / sleeping on floor / on sofa.

Understood. Thanks for the head's up.

So, how much should I put aside to travel via MTR? Also, Sim cards with data plan which I can use as a hotspot?

really depends on how far you travel - on average HKD50 per day should be more than sufficient.

Eh, got one question. If I charge $150 to octopus card, $50 is considered deposit right, so I can only use up to $100?
