Prep: Air Tickets

I got my air tickets 3 months before departure date and I'm spending at least 30% more on them because I didn't do research.

There are no direct flights from Manila / Taipei to Hyderabad. The common transit points are Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. Thai Airways, Malaysian Airlines and Singapore Airlines all offer the Hyderabad route at grossly differentiated prices (from Taipei).

On the other hand, I had decided to fly from Manila and the price difference across airlines was just around US$ 60 so come October 5, I will be taking Singapore Airlines. I hope the experience is worth the price I'm paying!

So, what did you think about Singapore Airlines? I flew with them when I went to Singapore and I thought they were the best: incredible service on board.
