Hi

I am David from Design Travel. Thank you for your email. As you have only 4D and 3N, I will recommend you visit Yangon+Inle Lake or Yangon+Bagan to be less stressed out. If you love nature and the village culture, the romantic sunset on the lake and scenery, go to Inle Lake.

If you love history, you should not miss Bagan. Pl let me know which one before I quote.
If you want see Bagan and Inle, it will not be so enjoyable. If you have ever gone on packaged tours to Europe, you will know what I mean but let me know your choice. 

Best wishes.

138. Myanmar's domestic flights - Air Mandalay



Hi
PURCHASE OF DOMESTIC FLIGHT TICKETS

I am clarifying with my Myanmar travel agent to get the air tickets and make sure they are confirmed as Myanmar's domestic air booking is not as advanced as in developing countries where e-tickets are issued promptly. She has replied the following:


20 Feb, Yangon- Mandalay 6T 807 11:45 - 13:10     3 pax ( confrimed)
21 Feb, Mandalay - Bagan 6T 502 15:50 - 16:20     3 pax ( confirmed)
23 Feb, Bagan - Heho        6T 451 12:00  - 13:00     3 pax ( confirmed)
25 Feb, Heho - Yangon       YJ 892  09:20 - 10:30     3 pax ( confirmed)

Tickets from Air Mandalay purchased and posted to Singapore office. Air Bagan has put us on the waiting list but Air Mandalay can confirm. Therefore, it is best to get confirmed tickets so that his friends in the US can make travel arrangements and visa early as well.
