Another question on room upgrades.

Recently I booked one room through HotelClub with the following offer:
Special Offers: Rate includes: Super Saver-Save Up to 8%, FREE Breakfast & Upgrade

In this case, is the room upgrade automatic (confirm will get), or need to request?

Thanks smile.gif

Try 1st & confirm wth us later  biggrin.gif  BTW, I got a surprise free upgrade in the hotel I booked in Perth too.. There was no such free upgrade mentioned in agoda site & etc but once I checked in, the receptionist saw me checking-in wth 3 pax.. So she suggested a bigger tripple room instead of my booked twin room. I started sweating in cool winter wind b4 she told me it's a free upgrade  thumbup.gif  rclxms.gif

I already confirmed with HotelClub it is automatic thumbup.gif I have yet to check with the hotel. I planned to wait until the time is near and then request for a complimentary free upgrade for another room (booked separately through Agoda).

Interesting, you booked twin but you didnt 'hide' the 3rd guest? I plan to go stealth mode brows.gif

What is the term and condition? Is it based on availability at the check in or confirmed? Normally if its a confirmed upgrade, you will see your room has been upgraded once you have paid and get the confirmation.

According to HotelClub, the room upgrade is automatic, so i am all set biggrin.gif

Hi all. My wife & I will be travelling on Air Asia with our 3 kids, so in total we have 35kg of cabin luggage allowance. Definitely my kids cannot carry 7kg each, so I've checked with Air Asia's Online Chat personnel and he confirmed that the 7kg weight can be combined and packed in fewer number of bags. Refer to the screenshot below. Hope this will help others since I initially cannot find the answer online.  biggrin.gif

In your question, you were asking on hand carry luggage but I believe the AA personnel was referring to the checked in baggage (he stated max kg per bag).

I think it's correct since he mentioned about the bag's dimension. I'm not aware of any restriction on check in luggage's size/dimension.
*
In this case, weight is more important due to safety factor. Max weight for carry on is 7 kg and he said max 32 kg which is for checked luggage. The dimension is for the second question. The personnel is clearly confused.

What he meant was although we can combine the 7kg for each 5 person into fewer bags (instead of 5 bags), each bag shd be <32kg. Since I have total 35kg for carry on, I must use min 2 bags,
max 5 bags.
*
Yup, as per below. Separate the bags and say they are your kids' quota, or checked in. Two hand carry bags of combined 35 KG is a safety issue. You wouldn't want to face problem at last minute.

QUOTE(JohnJon82 @ Feb 11 2014, 11:25 AM)
Carry on each bag max limit 7kg because of safety issue. I saw parents rearranging their carry on with their kids at the gate because exceed 7kg which is similar to your case. The CSO is talking about check in luggage, you see they use the word baggage in the end.

Guys, wanna ask bout something, not sure where to ask, but this subtopic seems to be a good place. laugh.gif

So I've bought this air ticket from AirAsia via online transaction to Bali. So for now I just wait until my travel date and print out the Air Asia Travel Itinerary emailed to me? Coz I see there are booking numbers in it. So on that day I just bring the Travel Itinerary and use it to exchange with actual tickets? And also in the email there's this link, View and Print Travel Itinerary. So I assume we must print it out to exchange with actual tickets?

And also what is a Web-Check In?

This is my first time buying flight tickets on my own. So kinda blur. Hope u guys can give like step of procedure on what to do on that day itself.  notworthy.gif

You may print and bring the Travel Itinerary along as reference. There is no exchange of actual ticket for AirAsia.

What you need to do is to perform Web-Check in:

All flights from 14 days up to 1 hour before departure for AirAsia (AK, QZ, FD, PQ, Z2, I5) flights and up to 4 hours for AirAsia X (D7, XJ, XT) flights.

Once you performed the Web Check-In, you will get the Boarding Pass..print it. Bring this Boarding Pass to the counter.

ok, so basically, I just perform Web Check-In anytime between 14 days to 1 hour before departure, print out the Boarding Pass and I'm good to go?

Thanks for the tips.  smile.gif

Yes. Make sure you have obtained the visa if the place that you are heading to requires it.

Recently I got delayed flight for over 20hr at Kix, Mas, gave ~rm500 + one meal allowance.
Upon return home I made insurance claim of flight delay, according policy I shud be compensated bout rm300 x every 6 hr block bout rm900. The claim rejected bcos it says I was adequately compensated Mas when I stranded at airport. Where can I make complain on this kind BS.

Nope. Cannot. Finish all your liquid bought (unless it's sealed liquor) before 2nd security check.

After the 2nd security check only you can fill up your water bottles. I dunno why they don't sell water bottles after 2nd security check. Each gate has a water dispenser somewhere though. If packed then need to queue cause only 1 of the water dispenser can be used to fill even though there's 2 there (water pressure not enough).
*
Yeah that's why..was unable to find any shops selling water bottles after the 2nd check..mom had stomachache after drinking the water from dispenser last time. Guess will just buy on board then. Thanks.

If you are a teacher and is planning to go to Europe, go apply for the International Teacher ID card. It cost RM21/year but it gives a lot of discount for tourist attraction's admission/ticket, sometimes even free admission. Considering how expensive the tickets for Europe is, the price is worth it.

that is interesting. did a google but found that it costs $25 per year?
