Next trip: Austria & Czech Republic with a hint of Slovakia

I took time off from work for my November 2014 trip.

This time I am heading to Austria, Czech Republic and Slovakia (just a hint though).

I purchased the air ticket from Lufthansa during Matta Fair in September.

Flight: KUL-VIE/PRG-KUL bought at RM2404. What a bargain! However, when I wanted to book the seats, I am suppose to pay a fee! So... I didn't book a seat. :( There goes my window seat!

I have wanted to visit Prague for the longest time and now I am! :D

Going forward, I will try to document all my trips as accurate with where I have my meals, tours that I've bought and etc.

Accommodations for Vienna, Salzburg, Cesky Krumlov and Brno has been booked. All on www.airbnb.com.

Accommodation for Prague will be booked a little later this week!

Flight Review: Lufthansa

Date: 7 June 2014 - 13 June 2014

Took an impromptu flight to Munich - I was too stressed at work and I had to have a 1 week break.

So there I am, booking a flight to Munich on Lufthansa's website.

Seat pitch was OK for me. It was on a A340

OMG - a touch screen. Now I hate those old school monitors with remote control!

Seat pitch on a A321 flying from Frankfurt to Munich. Seat pitch was ok too! Drinks were served on this short 1 hour flight.

A view over.... err not sure where but it is from Frankfurt to Munich.

Overall flight was superb. I would fly with them again anytime. KLM update your interior or you will lose out big time!

Sorry, didn't manage to capture any of the food served during the flight - was too tired!

Flight Review: Fireflyz & Swiss

Date: 2 November 2013 - 12 November 2013

I saw a friend sharing a promotion for Swiss airline about a year before this trip. Swiss was flying again from Zurich to Singapore (from May 2013 onwards).

All I saw on Swiss's website was SGD709 for a return ticket to Zurich (from SG of course)!! In the end, I did get the ticket as it was beyond affordable. After converting to MYR, it is only MYR17xx (sorry, forgot the exchange rate back then).

Of course I had to buy a ticket from KL-SG. I flew with Firefly from Subang Airport - it's near, convenient and had a short waiting time. The return ticket cost me about MYR250.

All in all, almost MYR2000! What a bargain!

Snacks & apple juice served on Fireflyz


In Swiss's flight. Seat pitch was ok for me. :D

Dinner served on Swiss - not bad. The dessert was yummy!

Breakfast served on Swiss. Bacon!!! :0 As usual the omelette was yucky! Sorry!

Great flight with Swiss as the service was great. The flight attendant remembered that I wanted pineapple juice the whole time! 

Will definitely fly with Swiss again if they have another promotion. Their usual price is a little high for my liking! Circa MYR3500 for a return flight from SG to Europe.
