Taiwan has always been on my wish list. I have only been to Taiwan once & that was on a tour leading assignment back in the late 90s. And recently when my in laws went to Taiwan for their yearly vacation, I was so tempted to follow but Daddy found the airfare expensive. :(
Then my sil & her family, my cousins, niece & nephews all went to Taiwan one after another & I so wanna go...
And I saw so many post on FB from my friends who went to Taiwan & back...
Not sure what made Daddy pop the question back in June & asked if I'm interested to go Taiwan. Would I say NO? Course not! So we have been checking on the various budget carriers website for promotions to Taiwan but the total for 2A & 2C would always be at least $1700.
I would always argue with Daddy on the fact that we are going during CNY & how would he expect the fare to be cheap?!!!!
Fast forward - 01 August 2014. Scoot was having a promo & their tag line: " Enjoy special fares on the return flight when you scoot to these amazing destinations. Taxes & surcharges apply. "
I clicked on the given link & indicated my preferred departure dates. However, the selected return date was not having promo as promised. Haiz... And then I saw - return (TPE/SIN) dates on 26 Feb onwards were only SGD$33 (FLY only category), excluding taxes. This means you do not get the additional baggage allowance of 20kg unless you book the FLY/BAG category, for a different price of course. :)
I played around, clicking on the various departure & returning dates & our conclusion:
SIN / TPE: 21 Feb 2015 $178 per person TPE/ SIN: 26 Feb 2015 $33 per person
Total including taxes: $1350 for 2 adults & 2 children, including 20kg baggage allowance to & fro for the 2 adults only. ( we added those in on the passengers details' page).
So its onwards to Taiwan, though only for 6 days & 5 nights next CNY, 2015.
Confirmed & Double Chopped!!!!
All Thanks to Scoot. :)
Courtesy of Scoot. I got this from their website.
21 Feb SIN / TPE 0055 / 0530. Check in on the 20 Feb night at 2255hrs.
26 Feb TPE / SIN 1545 / 2015.
No doubt, the kids will miss 4 days of school. :P
I know most of you would say I'm crazy... 6 more months before departure....need to be so kiasu meh? Yes & Kanchiong! HAHAHA!!!
