I booked direct also. Been to few travel agencies the pricing in fact will be more expensive to cover the agency fee. Better to book direct. Only hotels I'll book through Hotels.com easy to find a suitable accommodation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcf777 Turbocharged November 30, 2018 Author Share November 30, 2018 chinatown travel agency, their mark-up (service fee) very low. usually S$5 to S$10 per ticket from the NETT price. Provided u trust them. Now many china workers also go online to buy ticket. There are so many china websites offering better deal than local singapore agency.

BanCoe Hypersonic November 30, 2018 Share November 30, 2018 Yes sometimes but very rarely now a days but sometimes they surprisingly can get the seats which others we cant get ... maybe they block book or take positions .... i think I used them also for Tokyo flights many years back Cost of doing biz here is crazy, Always at the mercy of Landlords too and other associated business costs are going up badly here and too much of compliance everywhere until sometimes do we spend more time of getting compliance sorted out or do we do our sales/marketing work here On 11/30/2018 at 5:25 AM, Dleodleo said: Sometimes it is cheaper to book with Expedia or Zuji then booking direct with the airlines.

Mcf777 Turbocharged November 30, 2018 Author Share November 30, 2018 There are always two different seats quota A) Online Airlines website B) Travel Agency system Why sometimes travel agency ticket is cheap? Becos the promotion is only thru travel agency. Online direct Airlines don't have promotion. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotr 6th Gear November 30, 2018 Share November 30, 2018 Anyone still remember MISA travel? Used to book from them. It also closed down, last year I think. Now Zuji also gone... I think I used them once or twice previously. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
