hahaha

I have seen your team at 背包客站

hi,

I'm planning a trip to taiwan with 4 people total for about 2 weeks.
I come across some problem, so pls advice me.

I plan to travel with airasia, should i select 20kg baggage or 25kg baggage for check in bag?

I'm actually from PG, so if I arrive LCCT from Taiwan at 2035, am I able to take another flight from LCCT to PG at 2120? I mean can i make it in time which is less than 1 hour?

Regards,
Eddie

20 or 25kg is depending on u. u should know how much of clothes u bring to taiwan and u should know which to choose. wats the point u asking ppl here for the baggage u r briging to taiwan???

and this applies to ur flight as well. u should check air asia website whether they have flight to penang on the time u wan or the next best possible flight back to penang. u don even have the need to ask ppl here for the flight and time u wan cos its all ur work.

cant imagine wat will happen if go travel wit u...

Thanks for your reply.

I have done my study and will change the travel date.

20kg or 25kg really depends on how u pack. I went for a week, and just took 1 hand carry, didnt even check in any bags. Pack light is my advise if you can.

1hr for transit flight is definately a BIG NO. If u check in bags, u need to wait 15mins to collect yr luggage, plus MINIMUM 45mins to check in fr lcct-pg.
Moreover there is always risk of delay for air asia flights. I would say put at least 3hrs buffer time between flights to be safe..

This is obviously your first time flying, so pls do lots and lots of homework b4 u go.
Good luck!

Agree. For relax traveling, just get a hand luggage or check in 15KG (estimate 20" to 22" luggage). Return will recommend 20KG if light shopping but 25KG for heavy shopping.

For connecting flight, if the next flight is not available (or too near the arrival time from Taiwan), then may consider stay one night at Tunes hotel (10mins walking fr LCCT) and catch the next morning flight back to Penang.

May I ask whether will alishan recover during Jan/Feb 2010? Where can I get this info?

End of the year for sure cold-lah winter mth going to start soon..currently day time ~20C i.e Cameron Highland weather, by December will be ~12-15C...Jan ~11c liao

I am going there from 25/11 till 6/12
so need to bring those thick thick winter clothes?

no need-lah..sweater will do...

cuz i never been to Taiwan before. Based on what you said (like Cameron weather) then no problem for me because at Cameron at night I only wearing jersey and short pants went out, so do Genting. So, it's not a big deal for me lar if like that

but just in case sudden cold (han liu)....I will bring along sweater just in case.

i think have to bring think clothes for better secure.....read from the weather forecast.....last week i went highest temp for the day is 28c, this week max only 20c, so at night i think will very cold....anywhere have a nice trip!
