nk mintak pencerahan drpd otai2...Malaysian to enter Europe (Germany for instance) from Turkey tak perlu visa kan? those days guna VOA a/bila sampai airport...adakah perkara itu masih dipraktikkan?...dan satu lg nk tny otai2 yg pernah direct flight KUL - ISTANBUL - KUL....saya difahamkan oleh MAS Customer Center penerbangan KUL - ISTANBUL - KUL dilakukan scra code-share..betul ke?

yepp, tak perlu visa...

kejadian menarik masa kami sampai ke amsterdam dari istanbul,
our plane disyaki bawak penumpang dengan passport palsu atau dijangka ada penumpang
bakal jadi pendatang haram ke apa kat amsterdam,
so dalam plane tu, sesiap bagitau sediakan passport,
so keluar plane, 8 orang pegawai immigrant plus polis siap menunggu
kami depan plane dengan kanta dah memacam lah,
so dekat situ dorang minta passport, siap belek memacam...
so passport me lepas tanpa banyak soal..
tapi ada 3 african yang hari tu me rasa sampai airport aje dorang...

me tanya berapa segram, so dorang cakap sekian sekian..
me lupa berapa segram, yang me beli tu 18 K,
me balik quebec me siap hantar kedai check,
nak kata murah, nak bandingkan antara malaysia dan turkey me tak pasti,
tapi nak bandingkan turkey dan quebec, me rasa emas di quebec lagi murah.

Perancangan  ke sana dah berubah dari bln December dah pindah ke bln Oktober tahun ni jugak. Keadaan nampak akan jadi penat coz 2 hari sebelum ke istanbul berada di sabah dan 3 hari sebelum ke sabah berarada bangkok. Akan berada di turki selama 12 hari , 8 hari utk melancung dan selebihnya menghadiri conference .

Saya dh katam thread turkey ni...mmg best baca travelogue otai2 yg dh explored turkey...


Farikica, i found MAS is offering the cheapest return airfare for KUL-IST-KUL route as low as RM2126/pax travel period from June 2012 - April 2013. In fact last week masa i booked our ticket for next year, 2 org drpd kami dpt RM2113/pax return...airfare utk laluan yg sama offered by SIA, Emirates, KLM, Lufthansa, Royal Jordanian mmg mahal  >RM3000+++  - >RM4000+++ . Klo u kata harga tiket Egypt Air and Qatar Airways dlm RM2700 return tu ok la gk..tp still x leh beat MAS..

   Wah..MAS lagik murah ya.. dulu saya penah check MAS (x ingat bila)..dalam 3 lbih.. rupanya skrg lagik murah kan.. Cuma, kalu Egypt air tu, waktu pergi atau balik, boleh opt untuk 1o hours transitnyer flight, so..boleh p day tour ke pyramid2.. cadang saya la..tp x tau la thn depan ka, 2014 ka.. plan saya je tu...he..he... awak dh booking tix ya..? Bila pergi tu..? Bila baca benang ni, semangat nak ke sana tu makin membara 2

Masa i called MAS customer service center, the staff in-charge ckp biasanya customer akan book ticket utk KUL-IST-KUL route way in advance sbb lebih murah..klo u plan mmg nk stopover in Egypt on a journey to Turkey ok la gk mcm otai2 yg lain buat masa dorg naik Gulf Air n having a stopover in Bahrain...but now Gulf Air no longer flies Bahrain-KUL-Bahrain route since March 2012.

InsyaAllah trip kami Feb-March 2013..i pun buat ala2 stopover gak sbnarnya...insyaAllah sampai Attaturk Airport awal pg..lepak kat airport & later at 1pm catch a connecting flight to London via Munich..u bayangkan brp stopover kitorg akan buat..at least berkesempatan jugak kami ke Munich w/pun kt airport jer..so trip kami ni mcm once and for all la, Turkey + Europe trips..5 hari terakhir je kami akan spend di Istanbul sblm balik KL.

I pun sbnarnyanya expedite trip ni sbb nk entitle my son for infant airfare yg sgt2 murah (berbanding AA X) but no seat allocation..bunyi mcm risky kan sbb mampu ke i nk pangku dia 11 jam stgh dlm flight KUL-IST nnt..sblm i booked tiket i called customer service center n staff MAS tu informed klo i nak beli seat utk my son harga tiket RM1800++..in the end dia bg solution utk i proceed jer gn tarikh tu sbb kata dia biasernya route ni ada vacant seats...2 hari lps kami balik kl nnt my son genap 2 tahun which is mmg dh x layak utk infant airfare..maklum la budget la katakan...hehe

Maaf yer mod, i just nk reply farikica since dia tny which part of europe i'll be travelling nnt sblm end up di Istanbul..insyaAllah trip ni nnt 2 mgu jer..ni mcm down memory lane la kononnya...London, Paris insyaAllah confirm cuma Amsterdam and Brussels saya masih lagi consider to slot in (tapi rasanya akan pergi jugak w/pun wifey agak upset sbb keukenhof blm lagi buka masa kami ke sana nnt)..initially saya plan nk cover Berlin, Munich, Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris and London tp rsnya x mampu nk ke semua bandar2 tu sbb time constraints selain budget juga kena take into account..

Mahal juga you ya seat for your son. Since dia belum 2 tahun , tak mintak bassinet ke. Kalau dilihat harga kanak2 dgn dewasa tak jauh beza sgt.

I walupun dah beli tiket tapi seat belum beli lagi, ingat nak beli kemudian.
Wah! Panjang perjalanan you dgn singgah ke bbrp tpt di europe, Selagi mampu kudrat kesihatan  alright le. My plan next year barulah nak ke jerman dgn my kawan yg berkebetulan nak melawat  anak dia belajar kat sana. So dari jerman mungkin merayap le ke bbrp negara europe yg lain.

Pada mulanya ingat nak ambik flight yg stopover ni tapi disebabkan MAS ada harga yg murah so grab je lah.

Walaupun  tak sampai 4 bulan lagi , tak ada buat apa2 persedaiaan pun . Cuma plan asanya nak gi disember tapi takut suhu melampau , maklum le my mum pun nak ikut jugak.

Nak kata seronok tu risau yg lebih sbb balik je dari trip my son kena buat UPSR dia. Tak tahu le resultnya macam mana nanti.
