Do you always end up buying a full price (no promo) tickets coz all the Promotional tickets are over?
Here are some TIPS for you to ensure that you enjoy a great holiday and save on the extra penny for travel, which you can shell out at something extra at your destination.
1) Checkout online deals. People always make mistakes by only looking at TOP airlines likes SIA, Cathay or Qantas. Try searching for local airlines (country you are visiting). For e.g: If you are visiting Colombo, you would be lot smarter to fly on Srilankan Airlines than Singapore Airlines which might cost you $100 more per pax. Imagine the money you save with tickets can buy you a sensual massage at the resort............
2) Checkout NATAS fare deals. This local singapore travel association typically host a travel fare during september or peak season. I am sure they will have one more around Chinese new year. so grab tickets during this time. Very cheap Lah (LOL..am turning singaporean day by day). ..
3) There are some local travel companies which gives good deal for a fair price. Check out some of the these.
www.airfares.com.sg (Misa Travel)- Dont have to pay in advance while booking. You can block tickets and pay later.
http://flights.chanbrothers.com/cbflights/ Didnt use them, but good enuff as i heard from other. Sometimes give best market prices.
www.zuji.com.sg Somehow i feel its a rip-off. If you compare prices with other companies, they sometime charge way too high.
www.priceline.com.sg Perhaps the only good thing about this site is, you can set your own price for a ticket. If the airline accept it, you might get a deal for $300 return to Sydney (cool yeah?).
http://p2ptravel.com/ Pretty OK site. Has some good deals.
4) Try to plan your vacation in advance, however do not book your tickets in advance. Most of the promo fares start coming in 1 and half month before your travel date. But once it comes out, go grab it fast before it last :-)
5) If you are one of frequent flyer, check out deals at airline website. They sometimes give away 10-30% discounts on tickets. Might come in handy during this season.
6) Try to get foreign exchange before you leave singapore, since it might turn out to be a costly affair at the airports abroad and you might be ripped off with the forex rates. For e.g In Srilanka, they do all transaction in USD and if you give them another currency. They rip you off by giving u a nominal exchange rate.
Hopefully this will help you in the coming holiday season, christmas and chinese new year. Enjoy your trip and travel safe.

Did you go nuts with those online services giving away dollars for surfing, reading emails and clicking adverts., you aint the only one in this world. There are million such people who are fedup with this concept and have opted out rather than wasting their time on such stupid services which never payout any real income.
I used to think in similar way till im ran into this new service only available for singaporeans (anyone living in singapore not just citizens.). Even if you are an expat living here, you can give it a shot. It works as a MLM concept and you even get paid for links you didnt click but one of the MLM partner under you did it for you.
Its kinda cool and you actually get paid in real. People always have concern over the email they get from such providers, well they typically send only 1 email per day that too of your interestes (identifed at the time of registration).
So what are you waiting for give it a shot. Click below to register and make a good some of money for nothing.

The recent deal with Las vegas Sands for Marina bay IR (Integrated Resort) has put Singapore on the forefront of travel destinations to visit in next 5 years. Singapore has always been a first choice of asians, especially indians for a annual holiday. Although recently, its lost a bit of charm after HK took over singapore by getting disney by their side. It was about time for a conservative singaporeans to look beyond the natural beauty and welcome tourist round the globe by offering something unique and out of the box.
PM Lee agaisnt all opposition has decided to go ahead with his IR plans. One of the major change in what was earlier proposed and whats coming our way is the "Casino". The earlier concept was just to build the casino, but there was immense opposition since chinese people love gambling. (if you dont believe me go to genting casino. Every other guy next to you is chinese). finally a more demanding and value-added plan was prepared. A plan that will help singapore to be on TOP as a entertaining as well as cultural city in Asia.
IR will have casino, entertainment atriums, food malls and a convention center to attract the business travelling community. One of the things singapore always lacked was BUZZ. If you happen to visit HK, you would soon realise its all about BUZZ. HK is more happening that singapore for nightlife. However lack the singaporean greenery, which i love the most.
Singapore is perhaps the greenest city in the world and we still maintain it when the world is moving toward cementing their lives.
I got some photos of the recent bids submitted by various casions/corporations for Sentosa Ir bid. Have a look and dream for that singapore...............
IR Bid 1: Third Wonder
IR Bid 2: Genting & Star Cruises Bid
IR Bid 3: Kerzner & Capitaland
I hope you enjoyed the pictures. Keep Watching this space for more exciting news.

From today each business day, i will be writing a Morning Line. A daily quick news bit from my desk.
1) Prez Bush on the run to Hanoi
Well poor prez is on the run again this time trying to vow wounded Vietnam. This APEC, you can expect a cautious prez talking favourable about Asia-Pac countries. Its highly likely that britain might stop supporting prez now over a period. Bush now trying to find old asian frds for the rest of his time@ office. Good luck bush..Its time to pay for Iraq.
2) Sinapore Rains:
Damn the singapore rain caught me twice since yesterday. Yesterday afternoon during lunch and now morning, the rain lashed singapore for not more than 10 mins. However, made a lill damage to my new giovani shirt...:-( lol.

Recent announcement by PM Lee to increase GST from 5% to 7% is going to hit singaporeans in one way or the other. GST is almost on 90% of the products/services that we consume in singapore.
Time to save that extra buck to pay to the goverment. I hope that really make the difference for the needy. Atleast i am confident that the singapore goverment will put it to a good use. This feeling makes me welcome this 2 % burden although that would disrupt my saving potential and targets.
