What ADL says

As seen clearly from the above table, this deal definitely promises savings. At a price of $658, one gets to save about $129.95 when one purchases this deal. Not to mention, there is still free airport transfer!

However, do note that there the price of $329 is for travelling from 1 Dec 2011 to 31 Jan 2012. There might be surcharges for other chosen dates. ADL’s advise is to check with the merchant (via 98258793 / 85109015 or email: conoseur@ymail.com) before making the purchase for this deal.

Perhaps the bad thing about this deal is that it is not inclusive of any air tickets. Fret not. ADL is here to help! For those on a budget, you guys may wish to take a budget airline to Perth directly. ADL checked out the prices at JetStar, AirAsia, and TigerAirways and found out that for a two way round trip (again, assuming departure on 15 December 2011 and arriving back in Singapore on 18 December 2011), the average price of the air tickets will be about S$700+. Prices differs with different airlines and different travel dates. Do check out the respective budget airline website for more details.

For those who wishes to indulge more, ADL found out a 4D3N free and easy package to Perth with return air ticket on Singapore airlines. However, the price for this package ranges from $799 to $999 depending on the hotel chosen. Do note that this package is valid only till 31 Oct 2011. Click here to check out this tour package.

Lastly, ADL also found out another 4D3N free and easy tour package to Perth by ASA holidays. The prices for this tour package differs with the choice of hotels, and should one chooses to stay in a 3 star hotel ,the overall price for this tour package will be  slightly cheaper than the price of this deal.
