Regards to the question what I can bring to the event, my short answer is:

I would like to be there to moderate a BoF session to discuss how to improve APAC activities and contributions.

Good to hear that my ticket has been approved.

However, it has been two weeks since I checked AirAsia promotion, the price could be raised (I am not sure).
So, at the moment of purchasing ticket, there is another choice of route by Vietnam Airlines with cost around $274 USD (all tax/fee included). If this is better than AirAsia, we can go with it.

For reference only:

Depart: 14:55 Thursday, May 17, Hanoi , VN (HAN)
Arrive: 19:00 Thursday, May 17, Kuala Lumpur , MY (KUL)
Vietnam Airlines
Non-Stop / VN 681
Cabin: Economy / Airbus A321-100/200

Depart: 19:10 Monday, May 21, Kuala Lumpur , MY (KUL)
Arrive: 21:25 Monday, May 21, Hanoi , VN (HAN)
Vietnam Airlines
Non-Stop / VN 680
Cabin: Economy / Airbus A321-100/200

Hi tuanta,

Would you prefer harish buying the flight ticket or prefer getting a reimbursement for it (as flight ticket pricing fluctuates and buying it yourself can get it at a lower price)?

If you prefer the former, to process your flight ticket, we need a few personal details from you.

  • Full Name (as in Passport)
  • Surname (as in Passport)
  • Passport number
  • Nationality
  • Date of Birth (DD/MM/YY)
  • Issuing Country
  • Passport expiration date (DD/MM/YY)
  • Origin Airport
  • Fly in date
  • Fly out date
  • Nights in Malaysia
  • A scan of your passport

Could you please email these details to my email, which can be found at: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Mavjs

Details have been sent to your email. Thanks!

Replying to [ticket:285 tuanta]:

  • Hanoi - KL return ticket (AirAsia promotion): 179.00 USD

Dear Harish,

I got an update from AirAsia.com that the ticket price has been increased to 233 USD.
As you know, with promotion tickets, sooner is cheaper.

So, could you please process buying tickets for all people asap.

Thanks,
Tuan

Dear Harish,

Have you purchased my ticket?
If so, can you give me the ticket information.

Otherwise, you can consider purchasing Vietnam Airlines (they have got a special offer 234.00 USD for return ticket purchased in May)

Rgds,
Tuan
