Ok so I want to go to Singapore next week. I heard it's cheaper to go to the airport and speak directly with the airlines.
I'd got a quote off the net (thanks travellers on ThornTree Lonely Planet forum). A lady on Poppies 2 got a fare for $270US return (of course!)
I went to the airport, got quotes off Garuda, Lion Air and Singapore Airlines. All were about the same! Singapore was the most expensive by 300.000rp but hey, considering the difference between Lion Air and Singapore; I thought may as well fly in style haha.
But I was too hot to re-queue and decided to go back early next morning and book.
Lucky I didn't! Across the road from my hotel I saw a sign; Jakarta - Singapore $104Us, return $116US.
Consequently I got...Promo price flying Lion Air, return Bali to Singapore for 1.900.000rp.
I'll buy from agents again!
