28 Feb - 1 Mar 2012. Cukuplah 3 hari 2 malam saja... Since trip kali ni bersama parents, so I decided to appoint travel agent. Save and secure. Tambahan pule, abah sponsor pakej travel agent :D. Tq abah!
First time family trip seberang Selat Melaka. Jadinya tak cukup ahli. Adik-adik sekolah. Even-though aku dah booking airfare untuk Aiman dan Abang Cik sebelum ini. Anyway its ok. And thanks to Air Asia kerana memberi special promo. I booked since Feb last year as a b-day present for mama. Dan kebetulan tahun ni abah pencen. Kerana airfare berharga RM25/person return, so aku tak kesah melabur RM150 untuk trip family walhal kami pun belum confirm jadi tak jadi.
Aku rasa trip ini sangat-sangat ekonomi (may be sebab ada abah co-sponsor so ringan lah beban kami). First thing first, aku hanya bayar promo airfare RM150. Aku belum pay for any extra baggage or any travel agent yet. Till to a week before departure, Air Asia send email reminder to online check-in. Baru aku terkial-kial surfing for travel agent, and go to manage my booking. Within a week barulah confirm betul-betul our trip. Check baggage RM100, which I took RM30 atas 1 nama KUL-MES dan RM60 atas 2 nama MES-KUL. Naseb baik berat beg kami were manageable. Remember, pay for baggage online as it is 50% from normal price.
Airport tax tak banyak. IDR70,000 (+- RM21).
Travel agent, sangat lambat aku cari ok. 3-days before. Aku book online through Air Asia Go. Actually masa tu dah malas sangat nak deal deal bagai. Oklah. Pakej Medan Lake Toba 3-days 2-nights lebih kurang RM360/person, 3-star Hotel. Sangat cepat. Confirm payment je Air Asia dah lantik travel agent di Medan untuk kami; Lovely Holidays (antara travel agent yang famous di Medan).
Plus kos parking. Ye, I parked my car at LCCT. Secure tak secure?
Wallahualam. Aku tawakal.
Before, I did a survey first, mereka takkan cover jika berlaku bencana alam atau apa-apa. But so far, parking dikawal and I confident with their facilities and security. I parked at zon C. If not mistaken, zon ni rate paling murah kot. Total 3-days parking RM100.50 (RM2/hour).
Sekian intro untuk family trip kami. Jika ada masa akan ku update lagi my diary. Intro saje je letak budget estimation as for any others reader yang berminat. Bukan apa, from my observation, most of other tourist 1 bas dengan kami pay for extra cost rather than us. Siap makcik Zakiah berminat nak join kalau kami ada trip ke mana-mana lagi. Theheh. So, just to share info with any interested... And my ref for future also.
So berapa budget habes ni? Total up la ek? Roughly not more than RM500/ person excluded shopping and tips.
