pattaya127 Posted October 7, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2002 Used Holyday travel adventures, that i cited before. 415-956 3900. With tax, around 730. Some dates around last nov days, early Dec are sold out on JAL, China Airlines seem Ok, but I am sticking with JAL. Still hesitating between Nov 28 and Dec 2 already reserved.

adikgede Posted October 7, 2002 Report Share Posted October 7, 2002 What about the Asian travel agencies in SF? Since many of them seem to be in the Union Square area. Try Borneo Travel on the north side of Union Square. They used to be the bucket shop for Singapore Air. Haven't been there for for five or six years but when I used to use them they were always quite busy selling tickets to travel agencies all over the country. They are really an Indonesia travel shop but worth a try. AG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattaya127 Posted October 8, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2002 What about the Asian travel agencies in SF? ------------------ That's the only ones i frequent. thanks for the new link. i believe i have cornered the basic cheapest price for early Dec. I also asked Holyday Travel services, just curious, what is their best flight SF-BKK on Dec 22, (height of high season), they had JAL at 898$ for that day. Cheaper, if i remember, than any quotes on the interent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrideSearch Posted October 9, 2002 Report Share Posted October 9, 2002 I just booked a FF tix on NWA SFO-BKK departing in Dec 2002 and returning in Jan 2003. Total cost: 55K miles + USD$44.00 in taxes and fees. But I had to call the GOLD Member reservations number as the web site showed no availability for about two weeks around the dates of departure and return that I wanted/got.

pattaya127 Posted November 8, 2002 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2002 that's it, went with Holyday Travel Adventures, and he took 10$ off the ticket price, which makes it 715$, JAP, Nov 21st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkr98 Posted November 15, 2002 Report Share Posted November 15, 2002 I did well using: ual.com $666.00 including everything, departing Nov. 27th. SFO-BKK via Tokyo. V class ticket which means I cannot upgrade with my FF miles to biz. class. I dislike UAL 875 arriving so late after 11pm in BKK. UAL 876 for the return is no gem either departing BKK at 7:00am. I do not feel safe using Korean, China Air, Asiana,etc. below average saftey record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
june11 Posted November 15, 2002 Report Share Posted November 15, 2002 That's an incredibly low fare for this time of year. What were the restrictions/rules? When do you return? Was it a 30-day return limit? Is it non-refundable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkr98 Posted November 15, 2002 Report Share Posted November 15, 2002 Short trip (8 days) returning Dec 5th. Q or V class, I can change the return for $100 or $150 charge (if seats available). United always tells me it is non refundable---except if you cancel and buy a more expensive ticket for a future date. Try ual.com sometime, you may find a similar fare.

june11 Posted November 16, 2002 Report Share Posted November 16, 2002 I tried their website last week for a trip from east coast USA for a 30+ day stay, and never found a fare under $1500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 17, 2002 Report Share Posted November 17, 2002 I think that timing is the key to saving if you are flexible and take advantage of promotional travel offers you can really save. I am flying Northwest from SFO to Bangkok for $540 on December 3rd with a coupon I got in a bulk mailing. This will move me up to gold elite status with the NWA frequent flyer program. I booked this fair about ten days ago. I monitor the Northwest web sight and fly when the specials are on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
