Travelog - London & Paris Trip (2 - 7 December 2018)

Assalamualaikum semua. Untuk post kalini, saya nak share on our previous travel cost sepanjang 6 hari trip ke London & Paris pada 2/12/2018 hingga 7/12/2018. Maklumlah baru nak aktif dalam blog ni. So, baru kita nak update dalam ni. Saya, wife & adik just plan trip ni 3 bulan sebelum tarikh trip kami. Maksudnya awal bulan September 2018 baru start plan. Asalnya plan kami nak ke Perth, Australia. Tapi bila saya tengah belek2 skyscanner n emirates, tengok2 harga tiket macam murah. Tanya wife n wife terus on. Siap beli tiket flight pukul 2 pagi masa org semua duk tidur.

Tiket flight beli dekat website Emirates 1 minggu sebelum Matta Fair. Emirates ada offer 10% discount kalau bayar guna kredit kad Maybank. Tips nak beli tiket murah kena hari2 rajin buka skyscanner n web flight lain utk compare harga murah. Try survey masa lewat malam masa org tengah tidur.

Semua family trip sebelum ni kami handle sendiri macam backpackers. Tak pernah lagi ambil package semua bagai tu. Cuma kena make extra effort lah study selok-belok tempat nak pergi n beli semua tiket.

Budget sorang utk semua transportation cost, park entrance, tiket flight & Airbnb lebih kurang RM5k/person. Detail belanja kami as below:

London & Paris Trip Cost:

1. Flight = RM2857/pax. Baby Nuha only RM305 (Emirates)

2. Hotel = RM2611.03 (Airbnb at Paddington) (RM870/person after divide by 3 adults) (Airbnb)

3. Heathrow Express (Airport to Paddington 2/12/18) = RM49/pax (Website Heathrow Express)

4. Travel Insurance (3 pax) = RM138.75 (AXA Affin)

5. Oyster Card = £20 per card (Kad £5 & Topup £15) (Approx. RM110/kad)

6. London Pass (2 Days) = RM417/person (Klook)

7. Madame Tussaud = RM137/person (Klook)

8. Heathrow Express (Paddington to Airport 7/12/18) = RM66/person

9. Eurostar Train London - Paris Return = RM327/person (Website Eurostar)

10. Disneyland Paris 1 Day/2 Park = RM321/person (Attractiontix.co.uk)

11. RER Train dari Paris Gare Du Nord - Disneyland (Return) = €15.20/person (Approx RM73/person)

Notes:

1. Hampir semua train ticket and entrance free di London utk child below 4 years old.

2. Tiket Heathrow Express beli lagi awal lagi murah. Better beli 2 months early. Perjalanan between Heathrow Airport - Paddington station just take 15min only.

3. Tiket Eurostar beli lagi awal lagi murah. Better beli 2 months early. Perjalanan between St. Pancras - Paris Gare Du Nord station just take 2 hours 30 min only.

4. Airbnb boleh dapat lagi murah if stay dekat area outskirt & jauh dari Central London. Just nanti ambil masa utk travel and transportation. So depend on your budget and time.

5. Major cost flight & airbnb yg major contribution to total cost. If dapat lagi murah so total cost pun lagi murah.

6. Better ambil Airbnb sebab ada dapur utk masak. Kami bawak food dari Malaysia n masak di sana. Makan kat luar 3x je. Bawak bekal ke Disneyland sama. Sbb Halal food tak banyak & mahal. So dapat jimat kos makan.

7. Kopi & pasteri kat London murah sangat. Wajib enjoy coffee dekat sana. Barang dapur dekat Tesco Express pun murah.

Lepas ni sya akan share our travel Itinerary pulak. Simple ja sebab our trip is a leisure & sightseeing trip only.
