Hi everyone,

I'm flying to indo tomorrow and I would just like to know if it's fine for me to bring some 'over the counter' medicine (like panadol, immodium) with, hand carry on board?

*(one friend claim no)

Any comments pls?

Hi,

I am planning my trip to San Francisco on the coming March/April 2011 and i plans to use my KrisFlyer points to redeem the round trip tickets.

Below shows the points required.

Flight1 :  SM 
From: Penang
To: San Francisco

Award Type Miles
Round-trip Economy Saver Award Ticket 70000
Round-trip Economy Standard Award Ticket 140000
Round-trip Economy Full Award Ticket 256000

My question here is what are the differences between the 3 categories above? Saver vs Standard vs Dull Award ticket?

Thanks in advance and kindly let me know if this is not the right forum for this.

guys, how did u make online booking for hotel?

i email a hotel in phuket for booking, but they reply asking my card number (complete with the three digit number and expiry date). is that normal? if im not mistaken, we cant give out that kinda info...

Hi, I went into UK immigration website to check what are the items prohibited but still confused, especially on what medications/OTC that I can bring along. As I don't like scrambling around looking for pharmacy in foreign countries when I got sick, I prefer to bring my own medications. Are these allowed into France and UK?

Teck Aun pils (for food poisoning)
Minyak Cap Kapak
Activefast/Paracetamol
Actal for gastric
Fybogel (the packaging says made in UK, actually).
Sevensea Cod Liver Oil (supplement that doctor recommended to me as I'm prone to flu, packaging says made in Great Britain).

I had bring all these to Korea and SE Asia countries before without problem.

hi all,
i'm taking a domestic flight with airasia next month. do they allow hand carry sun block, lotion etc on board? cause i didnt buy the check in luggage to save cost...

thanks in advance!

I know my question is quite subjective, how you guys estimate how much money to change to the overseas currency? Because over change might cause lost when need to change back to RM

Yeah really subjective.. Depending on where you go.

Just estimate the food & transport per day there _ how much you willing to spend on souvenmirs & etc and you hv a good idea already

thanks. Maybe I'll consider asking for lomotil from doctor instead for food poisoning. I get sick a lot especially after flights. So these are basically my imust haves when travel. Is redoxon passable for the custom check?

Hi all , I have one question in mind which is will custom check on laptop software if it is genuine or not? As I heard before ppl end up been caught using a pirated window os

Need urgent advice. I just bought a nasal spray from Guardian and after open the package just realized it's an aerosol bottle. I need nasal spray because the last time I was on flight, my nose seriously dry and hurt. Can I bring the nasal spray onto plane?

But the hurt is inside the nose, at the nose bridge area wor.. I need the aerosol nasal spray to pump in sterile water into that area.

Just checked at TSA (US) website and an Australian dept of infras & transportation website . It says aerosol for over-the-counter, personal care and toiletries are allowed in hand-carry if under 100 ml. Just worried whether this 'standard' rules is  made known in LCCT or not.

I'll think I'll gamble. Put it together with my other liquids into zip lock bag. If they notice then I explain, if not .. 

You mean spray the water into my nostrils? Last time I did bring a water spray but I just spray outside the nose lah, doesn't work.

Hye sorry if the topic had been asked before, I'm curious did anyone of us here ever wondered about one more important thing for travelers which is phone+connectivity, which telco do u guys prefer to use or prefer to use for international roaming?

hi..all sifu..where do get the re-sealable plastic to put in my cleanser, toner and all comestic product?any zip plastic will do?

oh..ok..i will try to look for it...thanks!

hai,
i need some advice on the travelling
as this will be the first time for us travel out from country
i m not so clear abt the luggage & the way to settle in airport, really blur now.. huhu

What is the size & weight for the luggage if using AirAsia.
Can i bring lotsa dry food like maggi, nescafe / tea
How abt the toiletries.. I heard the max is 100ml per item
(not so clear is it only for carry bag/ we can bring more in big luggage)
And what to do in airport, need help here =(

8.6

Unchecked Baggage: Passengers (except infants) are allowed two (2) items of baggage to be carried on board.  The items of baggage may be a combination of any two of the following: cabin bag or a laptop bag or a handbag.  The cabin bag shall not exceed the dimensions of 56cm X 36cm X 23cm and must not weigh more than 7kg. Such baggage must fit under the seat in front of you or in an enclosed storage compartment in the cabin. Items determined by us to be of excessive weight or size or of an offensive nature will not be permitted on board.

Subject to the prevalent applicable local laws and regulations passengers may take liquids on board in their hand luggage provided they meet the following restrictions:

The liquid is in a container with a maximum volume of 100ml
That all liquid containers meeting the maximum volume of 100ml each can be fitted comfortably into a transparent, re-sealable 1 litre plastic bag
The plastic bag should be presented separately at security. You may be required to dispose of liquids which do not meet the above requirements.

REPLIED

- Depends if you have bought 15kg, etc. Size does not matter as long as you do not exceed the weight purchased. Else need to top it up at the airport for a higher fee.
(This charge oni for hand luggage aite that we bring together in cabin?)

3) Yes you can bring dry food out of Malaysia but the question is - will the country that you are entering are allowing you to do so. Why need to bring all those when you can buy it where you are at?
(Easier to find HALAL food?M goin to phuket)

4) Toiletries - refer no 1).
- It means that total must not exceed 1litre. That also means you can only bring 10 different liquid bottles of 100ml each.
(This charge oni for hand luggage aite that we bring together in cabin?
How if i put all them in big luggage, can i bring more then?)

5) What to do in Airport?
- WTH?!?!?! Eat, sit, go online (if got free wifi), go toilet, check out duty free shop.
(What i mean is, this is my 1st time so i dunno the procedure, what to do once i get there, shud i go to counter 1st change itinerary for ticket, then which way to go, & others till i getting on the plane, i really dunno all this. Thats y ask here. I never travel out from country before.)

What do u guys think are my chances of using my 35+10L backpack as carry one luggage on Singapore Airlines? Their webside says 55cm x40cm x20cm trolley bag. Could i get pass with a backpack?

i got one question. can we reissue a part of ticket that we have not used 3 years ago. i know there is fee involved but just want to know whether is it possible or not.

e.g. Sydney-KL-Paris (to/fro), i'm not utilise the route of KL return to Sydney (consider no show as well because the date of flight already printed out in e-ticket)

Apart from 100ml for each toileteries.. how about disposable razor in hand carry luggage?

I travel frequently KL/Kota Kinabalu/KL and does not have problem with liquid. Shampoo, toothpaste, mineral water, face cream or whatsoever. But this is with MAS. Not sure if AA apply the same rules.

Even for dosmetic flight??

I want to have a trip for half a month next month from LA to Singapore.It's a big trip for me , long distance and long distance for me.So I want to know what should I taken,what is the most important that should be paid attention?
