My efficient travel agent
Man, my travel agent was quite efficient. I called her to book my flight to Macau, we communicate in Mandarin, of course; she got me a discounted ticket via Shanghai Airline; it's star alliance; bonus; I can use my SuperElite to check-in quicker; lounge access, well, not exactly a nice place to be. Anyway, she got me a one-way tix first thing in the morning at RMB$1905.00, taxes in. Short notice, that's cheap for the first flight out. Then later this aft, she called and apologized; she got me a better price for the same tix. RMBR1760.00; the face value of the tix is RMB$2300.00; pretty good. She didn't just book and forget; but she followed up and tried getting you a better price. And she has attached a note reminding me to use the new Terminal 2 building and my pre-assigned seat of 9B as aisle. Not bad. If I were to take a Air Macau flight in Biz class leaving an hour later, I would have paid over RMB$3600.00.
