Muaj hnub thaum peb yuav tsum paub Vajtswv to taub peb tej kev txhawj xeeb – especially when it comes to taking care of aged parents. My wife and I encountered two unexpected surprises.
29/June/2015. Kuv tus poj niam yuav tsum tau mus rau Sydney rau ib tug ua ntej lawm davhlau nyob rau heev kawg feeb. Kuv yuav tau hloov nws ncaim davhlau ib hnub ua ntej lawm los ntawm 1 Lub Xya hli ntuj mus 30 Lub rau hli ntuj. The ticket was a simple lowest cost economy class that was originally booked in April. I requested for the change less than 36 teev ua ntej lawm. Get this. Kuv tau txais ib lub rooj zaum, but here’s the amazing thing…I also got a $7.90 cov nyiaj ua se. I can understand we have to pay a changing fee (uas kuv tau) but I got a shock of my life when I received a refund from Qantas Airways. Kuv yeej tsis tau ntsib ib tug Piv txwv qhov twg kuv tau txais ib tug cov nyiaj ua se rau hloov flights!
Yuav ua li cas yog li ntawd tseem ceeb txog tau ib tug me ntsis $7.90 cov nyiaj ua se? Loj deal cai? Well it was a big deal. Kuv tus poj niam Ameslikas teem mus rau Sydney rau 1 Lub Xya hli ntuj mus kawm ib lub tsev kab tshoob. An unexpected incident happened where her mum suddenly suffered a stroke, and my wife had to rush to see her before 1 Lub Xya hli ntuj. Lub iab-qab zib xav mus pab ib tug txheeb ib tug, thiab ua kev zoo ib tug kab tshoob tib lub lim tiam yog tsis yooj yim.
27/Jul/2015. My wife was now back in Singapore. My wife planned to go back to Sydney to see her mum and family again. Her desire was to go on 3 Lub yim hli ntuj. Flights to Sydney were very expensive at this time of the year. I had been monitoring the airfare on Scoot, Qantas, Singapore Airlines over 2 lub lis piam. All expensive. Using my Singapore Airlines frequent flyer points to redeem a seat on the cheapest Economy Saver class at the end of July/early Aug was extremely difficult, to say the least. Frequent flyer seats were available, but they were on a higher class.
On that morning, I logged in to the Singapore Airlines website. What were the chances of getting a Economy Saver seat to Sydney on 3 Lub yim hli ntuj? I proceeded to check. Rau kuv kev xav tsis thoob … lo and behold, there was one available seat at the 8:15pm flight using the Economy Saver class on the 3 August to Sydney. Just one. This was just one week before departure and God provided that one seat needed. I was very encouraged because it is very difficult to redeem frequent flyer seats in general 1 week before departure! I quickly booked the seat. The flight on the A380 was nearly completely full as I was selecting seats for my wife. Once that was done, I checked the Singapore Airlines website, and there were no more Saver seats. 3 days later, I rechecked and basically all the Saver, Standard seats were gone (see below).
Psalms 18:6 hais tias, "Nyob rau hauv kuv nyuab siab kuv hu ua raws li tus Tswv, Kuv quaj rau kuv tus Vajtswv kom tau kev pab. Los ntawm nws lub tuam tsev nws hnov kuv lub suab; kuv lub suab quaj tuaj ua ntej nws, rau hauv nws lub pob ntseg ". Cov $7.90 refund and the ability to get a Saver class seat on the exact day we wanted to go, one week before departure helped my faith fly. Zaj lus qhia kawm: Pray to God for help when you need it. Vajtswv yuav teb tau koj nyob rau hauv lub feem ntau npaj txhij txog txoj kev.
