However, it doesn’t mean that won’t happen.

I must admit that I was shocked when I read about the time a local influencer was bumped off her flight during CNY. She of course, kicked up a huge fuss by blogging about it.

But the story that got worldwide attention was the United Airlines fiasco.

That got me thinking seriously about “overbooked flights” which got lead me to googling about “what to do when you are on an overbooked flight?”

And here is it, the article that told me all I need to know about overbooked flights and my rights.

“Compare and find the cheapest travel insurance, best credit cards for cashback or airmiles rewards in Malaysia. Use GoBear.com for unbiased comparisons.”

So with that tagline, I’ve thought it would be wise to use GoBear a shot for my 2016 travel insurance purchase.

My last insurance was Chartis Travel Guard, bought back in 2012.
After the package ended I’ve had no idea of what should be my next travel insurance coverage should be like.

Ibis Styles Singapore on MacPherson: REVIEW & Video

My first ibis experience as in Amsterdam (18th to 20th May 2012) where I stayed in Ibis Hotel near Amsterdam Airport.

I remembered it to be small but cosy and they had an efficient check-in kiosk which I took an immediate liking to.
The breakfast was great (a lot of breads, cheeses and European pastries!) and the hotel gym is pretty equipped.

This is my first stay in 1981 Guest House Ipoh though I had visited before in October 2015 for a light snack at the Wheel Noodle Cafe downstairs.
The egg tart was overly sweet, the noodles decent (RM1.90 each) and the coffee thick and rich.
They are famous for their giant bowl of ramen which I haven’t tried.
