Toronto Pearson International Airport

多伦多皮尔森国际机场是加拿大最繁忙的机场,有两个航站楼:一号航站楼主要是加拿大航空等星空联盟成员使用,三号航站楼主要是Westjet、天合联盟和寰宇一家成员使用。两个航站楼之间有免费的接驳轻轨,也都有公交通往多伦多市中心。

入境加拿大

入境加拿大以前,必须手工填写入境表格(航班上都会发放,机场也有提供)。

拿着入境表格,就可以去自助入境机器,选择一种语言(可选中文),扫描护照和入境表格,完成确认即可打印出收条。

持收条和护照给边检人员看,就可以入境了。提取了托运行李后,还要把报关单给海关人员就可以出禁区了。

加拿大手机卡/预付费信用卡

加拿大航空及星空联盟等航空公司使用的1号航站有7-Eleven便利店,可以买到预付费手机卡

7-Eleven也出售VISA维萨和Mastercard万事达预付费卡,所以如果你希望在加拿大(或美国等其他国家)用信用卡付款或者在全球任何地方网购,但却没有信用卡,就可以买这种卡来用。游客只能买每张面额不超过250加元的那种预付费卡(不需要验证身份),使用磁条,没有IC晶片,所以在部分不支持磁条信用卡的国家无法使用,但在加拿大、美国等仍然支持磁条信用卡的国家畅通无阻。如果你有信用卡当然就不需要买这种卡了,这种卡出售时要加收一小笔手续费的。

Tune Hotel Kuching Airport Shuttle Service Sucks

Tune Hotel Kuching website claims there is an airport shuttle service from the airport to the hotel. However reality tells another story.

Here is the timetable of the shuttle service listed at their counter at the airport.
Kuching Airport - Tune Hotel Shuttle Service

In reality, I couldn’t get any shuttle service for the whole day.

I arrived at Kuching airport before 9am.

Golden System Car Rental & Tour S/B, which is the company that offers the shuttle service, refused to run as the timetable shows because they require at least 2 paid passengers to run the service.

Fair enough, I decided to wait for other passengers to come and share the van.

After 11am, the airport became busy. However, the shuttle counter was closed and of course I had no chance to find other passengers to use their service.

When the staff finally came back, I told the guy behind counter that I’d like to pay the price of 2 people. He said OK, board the 3pm shuttle. I got back before 3 o’clock. The staff told me there was no shuttle at 3pm, I would have to wait until 5pm. When I got there at 4:40pm. The staff told me the shuttle had left at 4:30pm. He told me to wait for the 6pm shuttle and pay 20 RM.

In the end, I took a taxi which cost me 26 RM.

Tune Hotel Danga Bay. Johor Bahru – Resorts World Sentosa by Odyssey Shuttle Service is even worse. Click here to learn more.

DO NOT USE ANY SHUTTLE SERVICES YOU SEE ON TUNEHOTELS.COM, PERIOD!

Shanghai Pudong International Airport

Shanghai Pudong International Airport appears to be a very modern and clean airport at first sight.

It offers free paper cups and drinking water(warm and hot) for passengers. The easiest way to use the machine is to press the “Warm” or “Hot” button to get water and release the button when you finish.

The restrooms at the airport, however, can be quite dirty at night when they are not cleaned frequently by airport staff.
