Scooting away!

FlyScoots is having this "Chase away Monday Blues" promotion where they will give some promotions on every Tuesday morning from 7am to 9am. Having plans to go on a holiday with Sis, I have been waiting for the Tuesday promotion to see if there is a good deal. I don't mind spending more for the air tickets but if there is a cheap and good deal, why not. Save the additional cost to enjoy more overseas, better accommodation or better food or shopping. 

So the deal was "48% OFF to any Scoot destinations from Singapore!". Almost half price. Was looking at some of the full fledged airline on Monday and the cheapest ticket for return trip to Taipei  for per person is around SGD450. And guess what, with this Scoot's promotion, the total cost for return trip for 2 persons with check-in luggage (ok, that's without food, but it is only a 4-hr flight) is ard SGD450;. It is like a 1-for-1 trip. 

But the FlyScoot's website seems a bit screwed up. I managed to book the air tickets with our preferred date and timing and chose to pay through Singpost. Yes, I want to save the processing fee of around SGD40. Why should we pay so much for a processing fee when we can do the Singpost payment within 24 hours. However, I browsed through FlyScoot's Facebook shortly after I purchased the tickets and read that some of the people could not see the Singpost payment option. Some also mentioned that we cannot pay through Singpost for this promotion but some said they called the Hotline and the personnel mentioned that we could pay through Singpost. 

Without much delay, I made my way down to Singpost to do the payment and now is waiting time. Waiting for the flight itinerary to be emailed  to me. Seems that it will take up to 24 hours upon payment for them to process the itinerary. That is like an hour time from now. I hope I receive the email soon. If not, I guess I have to make a call to the call centre or to email them. I hate hassle but I love to save money. It must be the ''cheap-thrill'' feeling. Never mind, I will see how things go!
