Dear forum mates,
Sharing few experiences for those who are about to buy tickets:
- I explored Oct, nov and dec dates to get the idea of varied prices from different web sites (Skyscanner, Expedia, Kayak, flight centre etc. You can browse Emirates, Turkish sites too.) This also gave the idea of the flights' seat availability.
- I picked few tentative dates feasible with the best price option by these portals, and asked IOM of those dates, (They asked for 03 preferred dates)
- they replied me really fast through mail
- they got my booking in 07 days, I had few observations to make, they revised it in 14 days time, asked me money on the 3rd week, that's it.
- they asked me to drop the bank slip to their office, and gave me a money receipt. (Mr jahangir, who is probably promoted to higher post, I guess, and that's why don't use the previous number)
- they are really helpful and good, and the price is extremely cool 68,800/adult and 51,700 for my 8 years son. On the same date the official fare had been USD 1445/adult ie 117,343 Taka!!! Oneway!!!
I am thankful to that golden hearted person (who gave the info about IOM) and for saving the money to many of us, the forum mates and families. Masallah,
Allah bless us all. Cheers
