74. Buying domestic airline tickets through Design Travel Pte Ltd

BUYING DOMESTIC AIRLINE TICKETS IN MYANMAR
The following emails give readers some ideas of a Singaporean resident who wants competitive domestic airline quotation and taking up much time such that it is not possible to fix the rate for more than a week as rates keep changing.

The Myanmar tourism infrastructure esp. domestic airline ticket booking is not as developed as in Thailand, Hong Kong, Europe, USA or Singapore. Therefore, readers must know which dates they want to travel, pay in advance and for many good hotels, pay at least 50% of hotel rates when they book.  It is best to buy travel insurance in case of cancellation of travel.

Pl note that quotations are valid only within 7 days from Aug 19, 2012 as airfares are not fixed till October 2012 due to great demand for travel to Bagan and Lake Inle in the peak tourist season starting October. Thank you.

EMAIL REPLY FROM DESIGN TRAVEL DAVID SING DATED AUG 25, 2012


THE FOLLOWING IS INFO FOR PROSPECTIVE CLIENTS
1. Tickets for domestic airlines will be handed over to Singapore residents at Yangoon Hotel as the domestic airlines do NOT issue e-tickets. They will not be sent to Singapore to give to Singapore residents as any loss during transit will not be good for everyone. 

Thanks

EMAIL REPLY FROM DESIGN TRAVEL DAVID SING DATED AUG 25, 2012

Pl let me know when you will accept the latest price quotation and if you will be willing to pay in cash on a certain date, e.g. before Aug 31, 2012.

Then I will need to contact the domestic airline to confirm the actual price and let you know.

After receiving payment from you, I will then book the ticket at the price you have accepted and paid for. Pl phone me 9668 6468 to make payment.

No refund on cancellation after payment is made to the airline.

Please buy travel insurance. Sorry for inconvenience. It is quite a long process as nowadays, demand is greater than supply and so the domestic airlines don't hold on to the same pricing when there is no payment.

Please note visa application is your responsibility.
