Booking Flights Made Easy with Traveloka’s Multiple Airline Options

My mother recently asked me to plan a family trip while my nephew is on summer break. Originally, we were planning to just travel domestically to a kid-friendly destination. But since Taiwan has eased Visa restrictions for Filipinos, I suggested we consider Taiwan instead. If you’ve been tasked with making travel arrangements, you know how much of a nightmare it can be to just get everyone’s availability and commit to a date. It can be really stressful and such a hassle booking flights especially if you’re doing it for several people and official airline pages take forever to load.

How to Pay for Traveloka Flights & Hotels through 7-Eleven

One of the major hassles of traveling are all the arrangements that need to be made beforehand. For those always on the go, the easiest way to book and pay for flights and hotels is to do it online. But in order to do this, you usually have to have a credit card. I think this immediately discourages some people from planning and booking trips. Some people just don’t have credit cards or would like to control their spending and not use it excessively. If you’re trying to stick to a certain budget, it helps to pay in cash so you don’t have to worry about future bills.

One of the reasons I like using Traveloka, a flight and hotel booking app to book my trips is because of its wide range of payment choices. While the Traveloka app allows users to pay via credit card or Paypal, you can also pay by online bank transfer, debit card, over the counter at banks, and even through 7-Eleven!

Traveloka: A Safe & Legit App for Travelers

As a frequent traveler, I’ve encountered my fair share of horror stories on the road. From being the victim of a travel scam where drivers take the roundabout scenic route to a nearby destination so they can overcharge you to those unbelievably low-priced group tour deals where you end up getting squeezed in a van like sardines on your way to a destination.

These days, it’s hard to trust travel deals and products. If it looks too good to be true, there’s probably a catch. The good thing is you can easily check online if a service or product is really safe and legit. This can apply to hotels, restaurants, gadgets, online travel agencies and travel apps.  Continue reading “Traveloka: A Safe & Legit App for Travelers”

How to Book Cheap Flights with the Traveloka App

For someone who loves to travel, I hate booking flights and hotels. I’m not one of those organized people who likes planning trips way in advance. I know some people who have excel templates of their daily itineraries with expected time of departure and arrivals and neat lists of all the activities they want to do complete with budget breakdowns. I just tend to wing it whenever I travel solo, which usually means spur of the moment flight bookings when some free time comes up.

The main reason I don’t like booking flights on airline’s websites is that it’s so time consuming and flights always seem so expensive. You have to scan several websites, compare the fares and then log all your details. Sometimes when doing this, you get logged off due to inactivity and have to start all over again only to see that the flight you were eyeing is no longer available. Or the final price seems to jump astronomically from the initial price once you finalize the payment. Continue reading “How to Book Cheap Flights with the Traveloka App”
