Never travel without travel insurance

I've tried a number of providers, but the one yg I bought for my 2011 NZ trip was from HSBC Amanah Takaful. And am glad I bought it. Sebab we had a bad experience where our car was broken into in Auckland and our luggage were all gone on our first day! We were sehelai sepinggang then. I wrote about the experience here : http://quinaryinlife.blogspot.co ... -drama-between.html

MH131 flight pkl 945 p.m... sampai AKL lebih kurang 1145 pg..next day... kitaorang pergi hujung  ...

OH!! mgkn April dah tukar departure time kot. Tp kan, 3 hours gap utk naik domestic, mcm risiko. Harap2 takde apalah kot. Aku tak pernah amik connecting flight yg on the same day. Takut!!! Biasannya overnite 1 mlm at least baru fly esok. Utk trip ni, kita org tido 2 mlm kat Rotorua baru terbang ke Christchurch & spend di South Island from 10/3/-19/3/13 baru fly again to Auckland. Spend 2 mlm di Auckland baru terbang balik ke Malaysia.

Elok amik travelling insurance. As for me, amik AIG. Coverage durang in my opinion, sgt bagus.

masa nes pergi, nes bawak cash + credit card cam greentea gak.... better macam tu sebab lupa nak bagitau, certain petrol stations tak accept credit card, kena bagi cash... tapi bawak cash tu spread it out la between greentea and your friend, jangan letak semua cash dalam satu tempat...

pastu, kalau ambil kereta, kalau boleh add car insurance sekali... sebab haritu kereta nes somehow kena gesel ngan kereta lain, jadi kena tambah NZD150 on top of harga kereta sewa tu...

p/s : tentang petrol station, I suggest you tengok kat google map (search = petrol station south island new zealand)... make sure petrol you cukup untuk perjalanan sebab ada certain stretches, petrol station jauh dari satu dgn yang lain...

Saya pun bawa cash & credit card coz ada certain hostel yg saya dah book tak terima credit card. Durang kata prefer cash. Me & hubby akan bawa NZD & extra cash RM. Boleh tukar kat sana in case tak cukup. Try to minimize penggunaan credit card klu boleh

Saya kena bawa credit card juga coz takut ada apa2 nanti cash tak cukup. Terjadi kat adik saya masa kat korea. Dia bawa cash je tak bawa cc. Tgk2 duit tak cukup. Nasib baik ada saya klu tak, mana dia nak korek duit. CC utk kecemasan digunakan.

salam all....................airline mana yg paling chippo eh gi NZ ni?...and lam brapa? tq

Depends.. I think now banyak airlines yg ala-ala dekat nak sama price je.. dulu Air Asia can beat all other airlines but now Air Asia dah takde pergi Christchurch.. so option very low price tu payah juga nak cari.

But airlines ni kena selalu survey... sbb kadang2 harga boleh murah, kekadang mahal. so rerajin lah compare price.. selalu2 lah bukak kayak.. subscribe je ke kayak or other fare comparisons websites

Kat bawah ni saya letak antara options yg ada. Saya letak juga flights dari Singapore sebab from Singapore banyak choices, and tak susah pun for us Malaysian to turun Singapore at cheap price - Air Asia ada, Jetstar ada. Naik bas pun boleh

Tapi pokok pangkalnya, kena selalu survey sebab harga tiket ni berubah-ubah ikut musim, and also when we book.

Direct KL - Auck
Malaysia Airlines - tak murah. Tapi kalau tengah sale kadang2 boleh dapat harga murah giler tapi normally in the region of RM3k++

One Stop KL - Auck / KL - CCH
Jetstar - transit S'pore. Boleh dapat less than RM2k.. but normally in the region of RM2.5k
Emirates - transit Melbourne. Boleh dapat dalam RM2k to RM3k
SIA - transit S'pore. Not far from MAS punya pricing.

Direct S'pore - Auckland
SIA - harga lebih kurang MAS

One stop S'pore - Auck / S'pore - CCH
British Airways - transit Melbourne / Sydney. Kalau nasib baik, boleh dapat dalam RM2k
Emirates - transit Melbourne. Dalam RM2k - RM3k.
Jetstar - transit Melbourne / Sydney. Can be as cheap as RM1k++.. normally in the region of RM2k - RM2.5k
Etihad - transit Brisbane. Can get around RM2k - RM2.5k
China Southern - transit Guangzhou. Yg ni below RM2k pun boleh dapat, tapi buang masa transit Guangzhou segala
Qantas - transit Brisbane / Sydney. Around RM2.5k to RM3.5k++

Multiple Airlines, Multiple Stops.
Air Asia + Jetstar - dua2 low cost carrier. So kalo dua2 sale, ada possibility dalam murah giler2
Air Asia + Air NZ - Also depends segiler mana Air Asia punya sale.

Flight from Australia to NZ banyak.. pepandai lah mix and match flight from KL - Australia - NZ or whatever combination nak masuk Spore sekali ke apa.

Credit card are neccessary not luxury anymore. Klu tea takut cc fraud, blh inform your bank utk chk your card for overseas transaction. I pakai Maybank cc. Setiap kali ada transaction diluar negara atau transaction yg mencurigakan, maybank akan call saya. Ini atas standing order dari saya. Juga, it is your responsibility utk chk your card time to time. Mcm saya boleh dikatakan every week saya chk my cc by calling the bank.  Klu kita pergi luar negara, saya tetap  bawa cc utk emergency sebab kita tak tau apa yg akan terjadi kat luar negara. Kdg2 ada setengah premises mcm car rental,insist nak cc kita time book keta utk secure incase klu ada apa2. Atau hotel nak cc kita utk guarantee booking or something like that.

One more thing I want to ask from our forumer friends here, is about car rental. Klu saya smp kat Chrischurch airport baru book keta ok tak?? Saya dengar klu kita buat prebook dpt kereta lama sedangkan klu kita walk in smp airport baru book keta selalu dpt keta baru. Apa pendapat kekawan semua??

Utk yg dar Auckland to Rotorua I dah book dgn NZ Car Rental coz kami smp dah tengah malam & tentu car rental booth dah close. Tengah dok fikir2 keta sewa start dari Christchurch ni.
