An aspiring Argentine traveler named Guido Blugerman wrote to me, asking to review his Asia itinerary. I am generally anti-itinerary and planning, but with a great melting pot name like that, I had to help. Part of his original plan was to fly from Taipei to Beijing, paying $400 for the privilege, but I pointed out that he could fly AirAsia via Kuala Lumpur to Tianjin and take the commuter train to Beijing.
     He looked it up and reported that it was $200 cheaper to do it that way. From looking at a map, who in their right mind would think it is cheaper to fly via Malaysia which is totally the wrong direction? The Dromomaniac! And since they are two separate flights, he can spend some time in fantastic Malaysia. Ta-da! Thank you! Thank you! Guido should really be mailing me $200 worth of his mother’s homemade chimichurri, but he’s young. I’ll let it go.
     I’m telling you, my cheap flights pages are long and it takes some time to go through it, but it’s ALL there.
