Crazy Ticket Prices
So today I got an email from my director saying that I have to use my balance days before 1st Jan 2009 or they will expire. The reason being behind it is that I have 70 days in my balance.
I called my cousin in Canada and asked him that I am planning to visit him next month for 2 weeks and from there we will go to Las Vegas and LA. After planning it all with him I decided to check the tickets online. To my surprise I was shocked to see the prices. There is nothing less that KD 600 - KD700 on economy class. Emirates was KD 765. Thats way too much for a ticket to Canada as I have been there a lot of times before.
Then I was like let me go to Malaysia and spend 2 weeks there. I was shocked the ticket to Malaysia is KD450.
OMG!!!! whats this sudden crazy increase in prices?? I did a bit of research and got to know that all this hike in prices is because of the increase in prices of petrol and not to forget its kinda peak season too.
Now the question is where do I travel next? I mean I don't mind spending money for traveling but spending that much on a ticket is just way too much.
