Yes, I’m really loving SIA.

This is gonna sound like some promotional plug for them, but I just happen to think that their frequent-flyer program KrisFlyer roxx!

Just confirmed my flight tickets to Tokyo for next month, and guess how much I’m paying? Zilch! Zero! Nothing! (Ok, ok, technically I still have to pay SGD200++ for airport taxes, but my $1300 air ticket is free!)

Apparently au yong has flown enough on his previous business trips to redeem his mileage for a free SG-Tokyo return ticket. And we figured that since KrisFlyer allows him to redeem the miles for a friend or family, I should might as well use it since my 6-week trip would warrant the air ticket to be a 1-year ticket that costs $200 more than the usual.

So we went to their website, tapped a few keys and gave it a few clicks, and I got my tokyo tickets for free, on SIA flights! Rockin’!!!!

Then a few days ago, we confirmed the tickets, and we found out that we could actually select which seats I want on the aircraft! So ladida, *click click click*, I selected my seats.

Then, we found that we could actually select what meals I want to be served onboard! Vegetarian, seafood, oriental, western, kosher, halal, blablabla.. Heh, it’s probably nothing much, but I still think it roxx! So, *click click click*.

*sigh* (< -- contented sigh)
It's great to know you just saved $1300. And he's just only on silver membership. And I get free stuff! yay!!

Not to mention also, with the relatively good experience that I've had on their flights (as compared to super sucky United Airlines, never even help poor little vertically-challenged girl like me with my carry-on luggage), I am definitely looking forward to my flight next month! wheee!

sidenote to self:
Must not forget to buy a bag of Milo 3-in-1 for Au Yong. No Milo in Japan, it seems. How can they not have Milo?! Don’t they know Milo’s tagline “Minum Milo anda jadi sihat dan kuat!” (drink Milo you become healthy & strong). Their kids are missing out on some good stuff here.
