How ur cost for tis plan??
ReplyDeleteHi! :) I spent around $1k on accomodation, tickets, transport and entrance tickets as well as food if i did not rmb wrongly :p And probably another $1k+ on shopping. Hope this helps! :)
DeleteHi Chloe,
ReplyDeleteDid u buy the ticket separately from SG to KL then KL to Incheon?
den how about the baggage?
Hi Lia :) Sorry for the late reply as i just came back from Seoul. Nope I did not purchase the tickets from Air Asia separately during 2012. You can simply select the destination as Seoul and there will be options given. The baggage handling fees would be charged twice SG to KL then KL to Incheon unfortunately :(
DeleteDuring my recent trip to Seoul (Apr 14 to May 14), I took Scoot Airlines instead :) Probably you can check out Scoot airlines to see which is more suitable for you depending on the price and flight timings. Hope this helps! :)
Hi Chloe,
ReplyDeleteHow much does each person pay at the Luxury Noraebang? Approx?
Hi there! :) If i never recall wrongly, we paid less than S$10 each, for an hour. :D It is pretty affordable! Do give it a try, their sound systems are pretty good!
DeleteThanks for the posts.
ReplyDeleteHow did you travel to airport back SG? Depart: ICN (0935 hrs). As it might be too early to take the Airport Limo from Seoul?
Hi there! :D
DeleteWe arranged for a mini van to pick us up with the guesthouse's help as we had too many lugagges and like what you mentioned, we had an early departure too! :) Hope this helps!
Hi,
ReplyDeleteLove your post! What's the temperature like during April in Seoul? Isn't very cold? Thanks!
Hi! ^^ Thank you for your support! It's air con temperature, about 15 to 20 degrees, best time to visit Korea :D Not too cold in my opinion!
ReplyDeleteHi! Saw that you took Scoots airline to Seoul in 2014. Understand that the arrival time is late night. How do u go to hotel then? Which hotel do you stay at for this time?
