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

i see..
finally understand on the free seat situation..
thanks for the info

welcome, but please remember, free seat is not the cheapest fare in airasia, haha

Hi, from June to September, which month is the best to travel? will bring along my 2 yo daughter.

SIC Zao Onsen Skiing Video (only concentrating on the skiing)




July/August is hot and humid, not very pleasant months to travel BUT there are quite a few summer festivals (and also summer is peach season, and Japanese peaches = LOVE).
September a bit cooler but it's a bit "in between" seasons -- I'd prefer if you can to push to October and go Hokkaido, or November and go Kyoto/Osaka, for the autumn leaves scenery.

Reporting fr yamadera, u need crampons if u plan to go up the temple top. Steps were cover with ice, going up may not be a problem but not for going down. I end up sliding all d way down on most stairs. 2 of my friends did not went up, but it is fun anyway, me n 3 taiwanese girls helping each other to go up. N best part, its queit funny seeing other fell down😂

Thanks for the reply, but too bad I only can travel on the month stated. Will it rain alot?

Ooh, was thinking of going yamadera on the way back to Tokyo from Yamagata / Zao onsen 2wks ago. Heng I changed my mind and decided to just relax in Kaminoyama Onsen instead. Don't have crampons, don't even have proper ice/snow hiking boots 🤣

Btw please share pictures leh.

either june or september

july and august is simply just too hot...unless you are family with preference to hot over cold

How hot is too hot based on your personal experience? Will it be warmer than summer in Dubai? 42+ C

Wiki pedia says record high is 39+ C

for me, every month can go japan, haha

personally i dislike walking under anything >35degC...

when i went to kansai during summer...the moment i stepped out from my accommodation already sweating, and require a lot of water to avoid dehydration

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

Its not only the temperature but the humidity. Its really hot and humid. Once you step out of an air cond place, you can really feel it.

Even though its a short stopover, you have to take into consideration of coming out of the plane, pass security again and then board another plane. And I think total hours will be at least 2-3 hours longer. So you have to weigh which is more important and what service are you expecting....

Decided on Cathy, the time different is not alot. I read Mas service lately is really bad with lots of complaint and delay. Thank you.
