Family Trip to Korea!

Date: 20th September 2012

I was browsing through some information on Korea only to realize that it has been 8 months since we booked our air tickets to Korea. Eight months ago, a sudden decision of going for holidays came into the mind but at that time Nico was still too small to travel in such a long-hours flight. So to travel during that period was a bit too troublesome for the little baby. So last year, I did not manage to travel for holidays.

Coincidentally I bumped into AirAsia promotions with the travelling dates for second half year in Year 2013. It was quite a sudden decision, without really sit down to consider where to bring the kids, I bought the air tickets to Korea for our family of four. Thinking that it was a long trip and flying with Airasia X, I bought Nico one seat for himself instead of putting him under infant group.

Time flies! During that time when I bought the air tickets, deep inside the heart was thinking... 'Aiyo, one more year to go, still a long way! When date is nearer only think about it.' And now, it is only 3 months++ away from our holidays. Excitement seems stronger from day to day. And the planning shall start from now I supposed :) A 7-days trip... seems a bit too long. Hope the boys can take it!

Our total spending for the Air Tickets to Seoul for 4 people is RM2,896.00.

My sister's family was supposed to book the same flight with us to go to Korea. But she was late in the promotions bookings. So her family will be flying with MAS and we will meet up in Korea as the air tickets price at the time she wanted to book for MAS and AirAsia were about the same price, around RM5,200.00. So they chose to fly earlier with MAS and we will meet each other at Seoul then. Thinking of the 4 kids can go for holidays together again, it is really a joyful thing! We are sure the 4 kids will enjoy each other companion very much. So looking forward to it :)

After some survey and discussed with Hubby, in April, we have decided to upgrade our seats to AirAsia X Premium Flatbed. More about this premium flatbed upgrade information can be read at: http://www.airasia.com/my/en/inflight-comforts/seat-options.page?section=airasiax#flatbed

We paid a total of RM1,248.00 for 2 ways which the price looked reasonable to us. But the down side of this is that you can only know your status of upgrading 1-3 days before the departure date. Fingers crossed! It will be a bit too troublesome if we get to know that status only when the departure date is so near. If the upgrade fails, meaning I need to rebook my seats numbers, in-flight food, luggage, etc. Just hope that we got to upgrade the seats so that at least the boys can sleep comfortably in the flight. Praying hard for it! Hehe... :)

Note: If we do not get to upgrade the seats to the Premium Flatbed, the fee is refundable.

Total amount spent as of now for the flight tickets: RM4,144.00 (included the Premium Flatbed upgrade fee).

Counting down to the holidays time!
