*
yes, normally Monday 0:00 start, need get ready on Sunday night
and before 2~3 days will announce the free seat in FB
airasia BIG member can priority one day to purchase it, join it for free

P/S : free seat is not the cheapest fare in airasia

not cheap comparing to normal price?
i thought we're only paying the airport tax?
*
of course not, example airport tax for KUL - KIX return flight, the airport tax only RM165
but you never get this fare for osaka flight

you only can get cheapest RM650 for osaka return flight in free seat promotion, airasia still need profit....really free seat then what tony earn, haha
free seat only happen the destination not far, example KL to penang

Which to book to Tokyo, Cathay Pacific or MAS? Both almost same price, Cathay is about RM100 cheaper than Mas but stopover at HK (just for 1-1/2 hour). Which is better plane to take? I heard MAS lately service quite bad. I took Cathay to HK before and their service is good.

Cathay service & food better than MAS thumbup.gif

hi,

1st time visiting japan here. i bought ticket to tokyo (haneda) from june 1st (depart 2:45pm from KUL) to june 10th. i have a couple of question regarding a number of things

- what season is it there. from google seems to be beginning of raining season?

- i did not book hotel on june 1st upon arrival as i plan to explore the tokyo at night and try capsule hotel or manga cafe. any area of tokyo that are best to do so at night?

- also as i arriving around 10:45pm at haneda, i plan to buy suica or pasmo on the airport, then take train/subway to the place i ask above. are the timing ok or is it too tight

-on june 8th i plan to take overnight bus to osaka and reach on june 9th morning. explore osaka for the whole day, then depart back to tokyo on the same day, arriving at june 10th. any feedback on this?

Estimate time of arrival? Cos i'm going to do the same return to airport as my flight is at 10.30am. btw..all the transport you mention can use Suica card?
*
for return, if your luggage heavy, take lift will use more time, estimate 2 hours better

Hey guys I will be going to Japan during the Sakura season.

I will be going to Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka
I have been to Osaka before and I will be staying there for 4days 3 nights, just want to ask if there's any place worth visiting near Osaka ? For day trip or overnight ?

I know Nara and Kobe is nearby, other than these 2 places anywhere worth visiting ?

famous thing beside onsen is pen, basket, biscuit, one wood toy museum there

Pen

hot water onsen? which one ya?

i thought of including onsen into my itinerary too but I'm allergic to sulfur water.
*
normally onsen have different color, if the water is clear like plain water, that is not onsen, it's just a hot water
what he mention is correct, many private room is just hot water
private room with onsen is very expensive
