Aku ada trip ke New Delhi bulan 4 nanti tapi Air Asia X dah pun suspended flight ke Delhi.
Now macamana??
So dia orang bagi 3 options.
1. Should you wish to be transferred to an alternative carrier*, please be informed that the only other carrier operating direct flights between Delhi and Kuala Lumpur is Malaysian Airlines, and that we have secured seats on Malaysian Airlines flights out of / into Delhi for our guests.
2. Or should you wish to move* to any of our other AirAsia X flights of your choice, please kindly email us at aax_enquiry@airasia.com
If in the event you wish to re-route, we will allow the following exceptions:
- move your flight to another date of your choice*
- a name change#
*at no cost, subject to availability
# at no cost
3. You wish to cancel your ticket and request for a refund; or You wish to cancel your ticket and convert the fares into an Online Credit Shell;
So ada 3 options !
Aku dah contact SKJB dan tanya dia dan dia cakap dia might be nak refund since dia dah tukar department baru dan susah nak cuti.
So, tinggal aku keseorangan !
How?
Aku tak fikir aku nak refund. Perjalanan tetap di teruskan sebab aku dah plan dalam otak aku, now tengah fikir, destinasi dan ke mana hala tuju aku nak pegi.
OK. Aku sebenarnya fikir 2 options yang aku ada.
Option 1A. Aku akan ke India macam biasa, Naik MAS sampai Delhi. Dan aku ada 5 hari untuk trip ni.
Shaped like a lotus bud with 27 petals, this stunning temple suspended above milky-blue ponds is surely one of the most magnificent monuments ever made from concrete, however there is very little to see inside. The lush park around is well landscaped but mostly off-limits.
Dari Delhi aku akan ke Agra untuk ini.
Agra has three UNESCO World Heritage sites, the Taj Mahal and the Agra Fort in the city and Fatehpur Sikri nearby. There are also many other buildings and tombs from Agra's days of glory as the capital of the Mughal Empire.
Serta Jaipur untuk ini.
Jaipur is the largest city in Rajasthan and was built in the eighteenth century by Sawai Jai Singh as India's first planned city. Jaipur is a major tourist attraction amongst Indian as well as international travellers. It belongs to the tourist Golden Triangle of Delhi, Jaipur and Agra. It hosts several attractions like the City Palace, Govind Dev ji Temple, Vidhan Sabha, Birla Temple, several massive Rajput forts and so on
Dari Delhi, aku ada option 1 A. Yang mana aku akan naik flight untuk tengok ni di Amritsar
The Golden Temple [4] is the main attraction in the city, and the most important religious place to the Sikhs. It's a stunning complex, and always full of thousands of pilgrims from all over India, excited to be at a place that they usually only see on television. The excitement to be here is infectious, and many people will be more than happy to tell you all about their religion and customs, and show you around the temple itself. Cover your head, remove your shoes and wander around one of the most amazing places in India.
Dan probably masuk ke Lahore
The Lahore Fort is a huge mass of a structure where the Mughals built their imperial quarters, followed by the Sikhs. It is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. There is a small museum dedicated to the Sikh period of the 18th century. A friendly museum caretaker might agree to take you into the summer rooms underground.
Dan juga ke Srinagar untuk view macam ni.
Srinagar is the summer capital of the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir and the largest city in the Kashmir region.
Probably masih ada snow di sana kalau tak panas sangat.
Drawback option ni.
1. Agak mahal sebab nak kena naik flight dari Delhi, Amritsar dan Srinagar. Or maybe skip Amritsar dan Lahore dan cuma pegi ke Srinagar. Pun kena beli tiket flight which aku rasa agak pricey sebab aku belum book apa apa. Plus, kalau orang pegi India mesti pegi route yang sama ni. Macam bosan ler pulak.
Option 1 B.
Dari Delhi, aku akan naik flight which is aku check sedikit murah dan terus ke...
Kathmandu is the largest city and capital of Nepal and the namesake of the Kathmandu Valley. Once thought to be the fabled and inaccessible Shangri-La, Kathmandu is now a hub for independent travelers as well as a growing vacation spot catering to all budgets. As a result of considerable urban growth in recent decades, it is now part of one continuous urban area together with Patan to the south.
The Kathmandu Valley is a region of 230 sq.miles (600 sq. km.) in the the Bagmati zone in central Nepal, and is home to three of the largest cities in Nepal, including Kathmandu itself, as well as hundreds of smaller towns and villages.
Kathmandu Nepal !!
Drawback.... aku takut tak cukup time walaupun Nepal punya flight cuma sejam je dari Delhi. Dan dari Kathmandu balik ke Delhi sebelum habiskan Agra dan Jaipur.
Tapi memang banyak UNESCO site di situ.
Dan kini Option No 2 !
Tadik pegawai Air Asia X ada call pasal hal ni dan dia tanya aku apa keputusan aku. Aku tanya dia.
"Can I change the ticket to Tehran?"
"Yes"
Hah !
So mesti korang tanya, apa ada di Tehran.
Well, kalau nak riki di google memang tak banyak tapi aku tau Iran ni cantik.
Kalau jadi option ni aku tak pegi India tapi tukar flight ke Tehran which ticket dia memang sentiasa mahal kalau nak beli.
Di Tehran boleh tengok ini.
Tehran – the vibrant capital, a beautiful city that suffers horrendous traffic and air pollution
Dan dari Tehran boleh ke Qom untuk tengok ini.
Qom – one of the holiest cities in the Middle East, considered the Jewel of Iran
Isfahan – former capital with stunning architecture, great bazaar, and tree-lined boulevards. Most popular tourist destination in the country. There's a Persian saying, "Isfahan is half the world."
Dan ke Shiraz untuk ini.....
Shiraz – a former capital, home of famous Persian poets such as Hafiz and Sa'di; known for gardens, especially roses. Very close to the famous ruins of Persepolis.
Seterusnya ke Kish Island.....
Kish Island, a free trade zone in the Persian Gulf, it is regarded as a consumer's 'paradise', with numerous malls, shopping centres, tourist attractions, and resort hotels. Kish is the home of Dariush Grand Hotel, a magnificent hotel in Iran and one of the top ten best hotels in the Middle East
Sebelum balik ke Tehran untuk pegi ke sini....
Dizin is one of the highest ski resorts in the world located just two hours north of Tehran. Great powder snow, cheap prices and few international visitors makes this is a great place for a ski holiday.
Drawback pegi Iran adalah......
Susah nak expect keadaan di sana. Lepas tu, schedule flight agak jarang dan aku kena reschedule sikit daripada tarikh 6 hari yang aku dah book untuk trip ini. Tapi aku yakin, Iran has a lot to offer in term of view and beauty.
So how?
Option 1A - KL - Delhi - Amristar - Srinagar - Delhi - Agra - Jaipur - Delhi - KL
Option 1B - KL - Delhi - Kathmandu - Delhi - Agra - Jaipur - Delhi - KL
Option 2 - KL - Tehran - Qom - Esfahan - Shiraz - Kish - Tehran - KL
Tolong fikirkan untuk aku mana yang korang rasa best.
Aku nak berjalan tapi aku malas nak fikir !!!
