Dang! I Missed The Boat
Every year, we will have 2 occasions where MATTA (Malaysian Association of Tour and Travel Agents) will run a fair over the weekend to bring its members together and offer to the public cheap tickets for tours, cruises, hotels and air flight. The last fair was held from the 16-18 of March which I missed. Even though I felt bad (initially) because I wanted to go on a cheap vacation, I’m now feeling elated after learning of a better leisuretime promotion. Many thanks to my next door neighbour who is a Singaporean. 
Qantas Singapore is having a promotion where you are allowed to have 2 stopovers in Australia for only SGD598 which equates to RM1,363. Mind you that these are return tickets and that’s a bargain for you can’t get this kind of price in Kuala Lumpur. There are multiple Australian cities to choose from and you can mix and match the stopovers subject to Qantas’ approved cities combination.
Though this promotion is enticing, there are 2 drawbacks:
- commuting KUL-SIN which you can easily overcome using luxury buses; and
- the extra days required to travel from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore and vice versa
