Malaysia TravelTips
Traveltips- THESE days, with low-cost carriers in operation, everybody can afford to fly — to both domestic and international destinationsAirAsia has played a big role in putting Malaysia on the international map. Recently named the Capa Airline of The Year 2007, it operates over 80 routes and has carried more than 40 million passengers. Travellers are always looking for bargains, snapping up cheap online airfares, and at the same time, hunting down good accommodation deals.traveltips Here some tips to help you:
Follow the deals:
City hotels generally accommodate corporate travellers during the week, hence weekday rates tend to be higher than weekend rates. Similarly, leisure destinations have high occupancy on weekends, so you can often find some great weekday deals.traveltips
Check your calendar:
Before you finalise your travel plans, check what's going on in your short-listed destinations. If your holiday coincides with a major event that you're not planning to attend, you'll find rates at a premium and you'll also have to battle the crowds.
Rain or shine bargains:
Leisure travellers tend to “go where the sun shines”, but there are plenty of indoor activities such as spa and massage sessions, yoga classes, cooking classes and even language classes that can make off-season holidays relaxing as well as inspirational. What's more, travelling at such times means that you can snap up great deals on both your accommodation and airfares.

Keep an open mind:
While well-known brands promise a level of quality with conventional services, seasoned deal hunters will not let this limit their search. Try serviced apartments or boutique hotels and you will not only get a fabulous deal but you will enjoy a new experience. Serviced apartments will have more space and you can also save money by eating in rather than dining at restaurants.
Road less travelled:
While Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and Hong Kong are favourite mid-haul spots, and Sydney and the Gold Coast are Australian favourites, it is not a bad idea to check out offers in alternative destinations. Try Chiang Mai, Koh Samui, Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City, or Australia's beautiful West Coast or Tasmania as interesting alternatives.
Look for added extras:
Many hotels add value-packed inclusions to their last-minute deals like free breakfast and drinks or even free parking.
Act quickly:
If you see a bargain, snap it up!
Choose wisely:
Choose your travel website carefully. Ensure there is a 24-hour customer service line you can call seven days a week. In cases of emergencies and changes to schedules, a friendly customer service representative could assist in a difficult situation. Ensure that the site you are using implements industry standard security features to protect your credit card. Choose a site that allows telephone bookings without additional fee charges.traveltips.
