Airport Tax refund . Air Asia and Tiger Air

I miss my flight the other day so im checking whether im entitle to get the airport tax refund.

My flight is Tiger Air . What i found in their faq :

Refunds and cancellations

"Tigerair operates a no refund policy and as such it is unable to refund any tickets (fares and charges) where the passenger decides they no longer have a requirement to fly or is unable to travel, as a result of any change in personal circumstances, including but not limited to medical grounds. Individual or Personal Travel Insurance is recommended for all passengers to cover such cancellations.
Should a passenger decide they no longer wish to travel they are entitled to apply for a refund of the Government Passenger Services Tax and other government taxes paid. However, Tigerair will apply a S$50.00 or A$50.00 (for Australia domestic flights) administration fee (or local equivalent) per passenger per sector to cover the cost of processing and bank charges for each tax refund request.
In the event of the death of a passenger prior to the scheduled departure time of their flight. Tigerair will refund the reservation following receipt of a copy of the death certificate"

Hmm ok my passanger service charge is RM32 but if i request to refund i have to pay $50 dollar... to process it ? make no sense right ??? takpela charity jelah...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Howabout AirAsia ?
 

Is airport tax refundable?
In line with industry practice, Airport Tax will only be refunded when contacted by the guest. To request for a refund, the guest should send an email to AirportTaxRefund@airasia.com. You will receive an acknowledgment within 15 working days. All Airport Tax refunds shall be subjected to a Processing Fee specified in AirAsia's Fee Schedule.
I think u can also request refund via AA eform.
Handling fee of refund (Kul to Singapore ) is rm15 ...so if i board Air Asia ,im entitle of ( Rm32-RM15) = Rm17
Still okay boleh beli starbucks grande frappucino. lol..so AA win over Tiger Air on this onelah.
but whatever it is i will make sure i wont miss my flight again. ....insaf mode

They are having a cooking class next week, hmm i think i want to register ..hahaha yup yup i live to eat lol..

It is also a good thing if you buy your ticket during Matta fair or any travel fair with KTO. Last time i got this:

They also promoting ticket to Busan now via Air Asia...yeah i will go to Busan someday. Im looking forward to the Korea Santorini village and eat live squid!!... err maybe not..but i will their fresh from sea crab!!plus Busan is home of Wooyoung,Yonghwa n Jonghyun ...kkk.


KLIA 2

LCCT will be shut down and all airlines at LCCT will going to move to KLIA 2 . KLIA2 going to be open on 2nd May. However the main user - AirAsia going to move there on 9th May.
I went to their open day just to check it out.it is sooo large ...so more  time need to board.

Klia website :http://www.klia2.info/


my boarding pass
 it is a long q, yeah everyone excited.... u have to show your boarding pass,undergo security same as the normal routine when u board any flight.
The plane here is replace by the bus...so it is funny when they take us to runway 3 and ask us to imagine we are in plane...lol but it is good effort ...


The advantages of KLiA2 / Kelebihan KLIA2 in comparison to lcct
  • they have travelator / ada travelator takde la penat2 jalan sangat 


  • aerobridge /takyah pakai payung kalau hujan dah terus dari terminal masuk kapal terbang...but they explain this as an option so not sure if every airline want to use it..but they explain the cost is 0.25 per person.
 

  • the concept is airport in the mall .they have so many shops/ makanye banyakle bole buat sementara kill time...window shopping
  • klia n klia2 is parallel to each other- u can transfer to klia2 via erl from klia  / takyah naik bas rm2 dah nak transfer2 dari klia
  • erl direct to klia2 /takyah naik bas transfer dr salak selatan.

The skybridge separate between domestic and international terminal. airplane fit to go under the bridge/ sebab itula eksklator tu tinggi, bagi kapal terbang lalu bawah jambatan

Singapore. Wooyoung Wedding Trip~ n lesson learnt

yeay back to Singapore  for Jang Woo Young wedding....hahaha
since im not doin anything lets just crash the wedding...its WY n Se Young  virtual marriage in WGM .
Since i travel a lot so i may become complacent on travelling...guess what?? i miss my kul- sin flight !!
hahahaha padan muka....i miss only few minutes but the flight require counter check in and they already close the counter when i arrive at LCCT....i bought the next flight tix which the fare is double the flight that i miss...

Lesson learnt -
  • the 3 hours before depature rules for oversea is inclusive singapore ( altho dekat sangatkan) n whateva need  counter check in
  • mesti tido awal- supaya esoknya tak lmbt, dan otak pun takde buat bad decision
  • dont assume lol - sebab park keta kat putrajaya pastu lupa plak erl tu mestila ada jadual sendiri kan bukannye setiap 5 minit ada, kan ke terlambat. 
Anyway i only bring 50sgd (balance from previous trip)  n my ezlink still has balance. manage to reach MBS half an hour before wedding, so glad they let the public watch the wedding ceremony.
WY m SY is looking so handsome and beautiful. WY 's English is to die for~ melt...he's always my Jason
Manage to give SY some gift..hehe i also has one for WY but he always surround by fan or the crew. WY keep saying its hot here...hahaha coz u r a hottie WY!!
WY also dance to SY ...u can see this in the Wgm soon.
The fact that they allow us to take photo is amazing enough!
the venue -garden by the bays




Some fancam from me lol



Altho it is a wedding ceremony but the guest has to carik their own food...lol. went to mbs foodcourt with Tesh and i spent 7sgd for nasi campur.

Anyway  i also went to my favorite place in SG , coz there is no Magnum Pleasure store in KL n i want to taste  the chilli flakes icecream...
They change the venue to NX Mall ( till 30 April i think) oh btw Happy Birthday 0430yes!!
sambung cerita ~my choice of coating - chilli , dry flower
The staff also warn me, it will be a spicy one..but its ok coz the ice cream is sweet so u will has this unique flavor mix in your mouth...try it if u curious ..tehee.


back to the airport n spend the night there...i use data roaming coz it is cap for certain kilobyte for rm38/day but u need to manual select to 1 operator in sg. At airport, u can get the wifi password from the info counter.
Spend my time at 24hr mcd ...
fyi the prayer room is inside the terminal ( lepas immigration) alternatifnya bolehla solat di baby room. Ada sink dalam tu sekali.
