yup yup, this is the one I saw ar
I called silkway to ask for the exact price
and since I am only by myself, it's almost $900 instead of $638
the lady on the phone told me tax and surcharge is $700
another $100 to stay in HK = $1700 ar~
now I am thinking maybe buy a package when I am back in HK
I checked some 自遊行 package, wing on is having some for $2400ish HKD and up (I don't know "and up" 即係仲要加幾多啦.......)
don't believe everything you read from ad., they always quote you the cheapest price, when you book , the price will go up !!!!!!!!
like the travel agent who always quote buy ticket to china and a side trip will be added for free.
when you book the ticket with the side trip , the price will not be the same, so how could they say it's free ??????????????
Those Hotels with package are usually cruppy .. very small .. I don't mind it, you go Japan for shopping and food, and for luxury Hotel .. (or go China/Thai etc .. )
3-4 days is not enough la .. better spend a week ..
We usually take the package + 1 or 2 nights in cruppy hotel, then book other hotels....
errr..700 tax is CRAZY!! I went to japan few times using these air + hotel pkg.. and taxes usually around 350 only.. dun go to silkway la.. their agent sucks.. not experience at all...
2 yrs ago air to tokyo with 3 night 3 stars hotel was 898 + tax (around 350) with free stop in HK...
last year.. price increased 100..but still 989 + taxes (around 350) with free stop as well.. I booked that ticket in July..while the airlines start to charge 50 to 100 for a stop in HK...my agent waived the stop over charge for me.. and i also got 2 free limo bus tickets (worth 3000 yen each)! But i paid a bit extra coz i booked my hotel with Hyatt...so if you are choosing those Sunshine prince or washington hotel.. i think you should be able to get that 989 + taxes package..
what is the travel date that you are going sin? is it still within their promo period?
P.S. I dun think the hotels from pkg is that bad wor~ depends which hotel you book~ I can tell you that Keio sucks! I stayed in Hyatt Regency few yrs ago.. and they upgarded us to a bigger room for free.. we didn't even ask... and last year.. I originally booked my pkg hotel with Keio... and i booked 3 extra days thru Japan hotel website (coz the price is cheaper than the agent here)..when i email to Keio to confirm my hotel booking (3 night hotel pkg + 3 night online booking by myself)..Keio told me that the room from hotel pkg is lower class... and when i checked at keio website.. those rooms are shxt! look like old 3 stars hotel room.. so i go back to my agent and switch back to Hyatt as they have the same price!
We stayed 3 nites at Keio (from my online booking..coz if book Hyatt online.. needs 300 a night...lol) and 1 day at Hyatt (pkg hotel).. then we left our big luggages at hyatt.. and went to Nagoya and Osaka.. when we back to Hyatt for the remaining 2 nights. Hyatt suddenly provide us a free upgrade to their luxury club room! another free upgrade from the pkg hotel~!
The room we booked online with Keio is much better...but remember dun use the air + hotel pkg to book Keio....
