     I was about to sleep when I received this email from Cebu Pacific stating that there's a very cheap seat sale to Beijing, China, and other destinations for travel between 01 February to 30 April 2010.  And it's really dirt cheap, like Php 2,500+ round trip, although you may have to stay for 6D5N [one-way is Php 988.00; Go-lite is Php 888.00], but I've seen sale seats for their Thursday out-bound and Monday in-bound flights [3D2N].  I've already made a mock booking for the latter part of February (24 Feb to 28 Feb), and I am so tempted to buy a ticket and relive the wonder that is Beijing, although I don't know what will I do in 6 days, again.  I mean, it's costly to stay at a hotel for six days, alone.  But I'm close to buying tickets now...Must restrain myself.  [Edited to add: I almost clicked the confirmation button after I entered my passenger details.  Must endure.  Must remember that I want to go to Japan next year...]

     Do check it out before those prized seats get snagged!

     Happy travel planning!

Tiger Airway's Manila-NAIA to Singapore Seat Sale [09 Dec to 15 Dec 2010]

     I'm not much a fan of Tiger Airways.  They don't have free check-in luggage; you have to pay for it.  And while their sales have a very low base price [for this sale it's USD 15, one-way], but their taxes amount to treble the seat fare [lowest fare is around USD 105 for this sale, roundtrip].  But it's still a cheaper alternative.  So, happy travel planning.

Air Asia: To Paris, With Love [Seat Sale from 22 November to 24 November 2010]

Update: 22 November 2010; 7:10 am

     I did a mock-booking for 05 May 2011 to 10 May 2011 and the total roundtrip  tickers cost RMB 1226.00, or less than Php 18,000.00.  That's a huge savings! Makes me want to book for real.  For tennis fans, this is the opportunity to watch Rafa Nadal in action (wedgie and all) at Roland Garros.

      Air Asia X is finally offering flights from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Paris, France!  And I just couldn't contain my excitement!  Maiden flight will be on Valentine's Day, 2011, and seats will go on sale on 22 November 2010 at 7:00 a.m. (GMT +8) until 24 November 2010.  Travel Period is from 14 November to 10 November 2010.  All I know is that I'm having visions of the Eiffel Tower and of the Louvre Museum right now.  Gosh, this is my chance!

   From Air Asia's Facebook Page:

Eifel Tower, Mona Lisa, Louis Vuitton, Louvre Museum, Notre Dame de Paris and the list goes on and on. Yes, we know you’ve been waiting for this exciting news! It’s official! AAX will be flying to city of love - Paris in February 2011!

Air Asia: Teaser, Perhaps for an Upcoming Sale [Stay Tuned: 15 November 2010]

     Remember how disappointed I am because there's no Air Asia seat sale for Tokyo?  Well, lo and behold, Air Asia released a teaser via Facebook about their possibly upcoming sale.  It's just a picture, but it does paint a thousand words.  See for yourself:

     As you can see, Australia, India, China (or perhaps, Hong Kong? It's possibly Taiwan), Japan, Korea and London are representing, like they're parading for United Nations Day.  I honestly don't know which country the girl between Ms. Korea and Mr. UK is representing, but it looks like China to me.  Can they get any cuter?  So kawaii!

    I'm so excited, to tell you the truth, considering that I'm contemplating on visiting Japan. Indeed, good things come to those who wait.  We'll just have to see if the sale would extend to the latter part of November 2011.  I'd really, really want to spend a week during autumn in Japan.  If not, however, I'll just have to wait for Cebu Pacific's sale going to Osaka, Japan.  Or, I might get a ticket going to Tokyo via Air Asia and a return ticket via Cebu Pacific from Osaka, Japan.  I would have to get a Japan Rail Pass either way, so I think I have several options for me to choose from.  I'd really like to stay for a day in Kuala Lumpur and go to the Petronas Tower up to the observation deck/bridge, too, so going from Manila to Kuala Lumpur, and from there, to Tokyo, isn't a bad idea either.  Costly, but still enticing.

     It'll be a happy sale hunting for me.  Yay!

 

Seat Sale: Cebu Pacific's 11-11-11

     What we've been waiting for! 11 11 11! eleventy!

     I made a mock booking for Incheon, and the taxes made the fare a lot higher.  However, it is still cheap, like less than 3,500 pesos round trip.

     Happy travel planning!

Air Asia: The Best Seats are Free Seats! [Update 3 - Promo Starts 00:01, 09 Nov 2010]

     In just a few hours, Air Asia's seat sale will commence.  I can actually see again the promo details when I logged on at Air Asia's website a while back.  I am not planning to buy tickets for this sale considering that I would have wanted to get super sale seats to Japan for some koyo or foliage during autumn next year.  Perhaps, I'll just wait for Cebu Pacific's seat sale for Osaka.

     I think, however, that Air Asia's seat sale is best for island-hopping in Thailand, cross-country travel to Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam and Cambodia.  

     Below is the promo list; it is set to the Philippines as country of origin and the fares are in pesos.  Happy travel planning and sale hunting!  Who knows, you might be able to score some free seats.

     Before I forget, Air Asia also provided  some BOOKING TIPS to minimize glitches, anxieties, impatience, frustration, etc., during the busy bookings.
