Note to self: book a flight

1. Check your available date for travel.
2. Make sure passport, credit card and phone is nearby and available.
3. Check airline and see promotion.
4. Go see budget airline pricing. So when people ask why you don't take budget, you can proudly say how much you save buy using standard airline.
5. Book directly as at that point of time, it will be the cheapest.

Budget air has additional cost to the ticket price.
+ airport tax and charges✓
+ luggage cost
+ food
+ entertainment
+ comfort (eye mask, pillow)
+ seat booking
+ insurance
+ SMS reminder
+ early check-in
+ booking fee ✓

Moral of story, use normal airline. Unless you are traveling alone without the need to choose a seat and no luggage with you. Well you can have a carry on of 10kg baggage plus your own purse bag. Oh make sure it's a short flight too. Then budget is pretty good for you.

HK Sim card

We are using people's. So go 7-11 buy the top up card. People tourist one I think. It's cheaper for use to call oversea. I tried finishing the value by calling Singapore but it never finish.

Call *103# for data plan. 1day, 7 days - hk$38, 30 days - hk$75. Or something like that.

Don't forget to set up the APN setting on iPhone and blackberry.
