AirAsia Tickets Booked
Dec 10th, 2005
Finally, the air tickets to Cambodia were booked.
AirAsia flies to Siem Reap and Phnom Penh of Cambodia with the following schedules:
Kuala Lumpur -> Siem Reap AK 846 Departure: 10.00 Arrival: 11.05
Siem Reap -> Kuala Lumpur AK 847 Departure: 11:35 Arrival: 14.40
Kuala Lumpur -> Phnom Penh AK 852 Departure: 15.15 Arrival: 16.05
Phnom Penh -> Kuala Lumpur AK 853 Departure: 16.35 Arrival: 19.20
It looks like more worthwhile to fly to Siem Reap and back to Kuala Lumpur from Phnom Penh. With this open jaw flight, we will be able to visit 2 most important cities of Cambodia, and indirectly earn half a day of time there by flying back later in the day.
After spending some time searching, finally found the date which free tickets are available. So I managed to book 9 tickets to fly from KLIA to Siem Reap on 9th August 2006 and back from Phnom Penh to KLIA on 14th August 2006.
The outgoing flight will has taxes of RM 94.00 while the incoming flight will has taxes of USD $14.50 each. It supposed to be all counted in ringgit Malaysia if a flight is originating from Malaysia, but due to the fact that I booked the flights seperately, the one that originated from Phnom Penh is charged in USD.
9 persons will be on board, they’re Poh Ling, her boyfriend Peng Phoon, Wai Ling, her husband Meng Kong, San Yew, his wife Sim Joo, Jennifer, her husband Tai Ping and me. I look a bit weird among all the couples.
[...] As our flight to Siem Reap is at 10 am on 9th August (Wednesday), so a few of us from Singapore have to go to Kuala Lumpur the night before, or take the expensive flight from Singapore to KL on Wednesday morning, as there is not suitably timed flight from Johor Bahru (JB airport is just an hour from Singapore) to KLIA airport.

[...] We I booked the AirAsia tickets to Cambodia, I have wondered if how many of the persons committed will not be able to make the trip to waste and donate the money to Air Asia. At the time, I believe it there should be some people who won’t be able to go together to Cambodia. [...]
[...] Finally confirmed total number of people that will be going to Cambodia, and that’s 11, 1 less than the total number of Air Asia air tickets booked. The only one that misses the trip is Ciline who is unable to take leave due to changing to new job. This have already exceeded my expectation that initially only expect 8 people to go. San Yew has just told me that Sim Joo has confirmed to get her passport by Tuesday afternoon, a day before our departure. She initially couldn’t found her expired passport, and have a scare that Malaysia Immigration Department unable to process her new passport in the usual 1-day time frame due to I-not-so-understand reason. Another surprise package is Chung Khoon who will be going alone. [...]
