Db bought his tickets for the MSP/SIN/MSP segment this afternoon. He had to pay the full price of $1700 for his ticket coz he refused to take the flights that have 2 stops – San Francisco and Detroit. That is all set. I even changed my seats to sit next to him.
I logged into MAS online and wanted to book the flight for our 2nd segment SIN/KUL/SIN. I have to book our ticket separately because DB will be leaving a week earlier then I am. His return flight to MSP is December 2. For DB’s ticket I picked the 6:45 a.m., November 18 departure from SIN to KUL, and December 1 departure from KUL/SIN at 10:45 p.m. By the way, these times will be the same for mine, too.
As I was ready to purchase the tickets, I had to choose a method of delivery of the tickets. What??? No E-ticket?? I looked at the choices and there are only 2 choices:
- Pick up at one of the MAS’ offices in Singapore, or
- Changi Airport, Singapore.
I didn’t complete my booking with MAS online. I am not going to travel 8K miles and knowing that my flight for KUL leaves at 6:45 a.m. and I do not have my tickets in my hands, is a no no for me. Who knows what time this MAS office opens – you know, maybe they have to sembahyang (pray) and cannot open the office till 7 a.m. or later.
I will call my friend’s travel agent and see if she can get the 2nd segment tickets for us. Tomorrow is Labor Day. So, it will have to be Tuesday.
I still have to stock up on my Zoloft
