Hello teatas and teatos!! Thanks for joining the premiere!!! ❤❤❤ notes lang pala: 1) this is for a 13d/12n trip during sakura season ha. Hotels & flights are usually more expense at this time. 2) we only stayed in tokyo the whole trip except for one day when we went to mt. fuji area 3) transpo ko pala should be 1k less. I forgot na i covered my bf’s one-way fare from narita to hotel 4) mid-tier perfumes are available at a discount not just in ainz tulpe. Even don quijote and matsumoto kiyoshi 5) if u are into luxury items, maraming second hand stores in shibuya area. di ko na ito vinlog but you can check out mommy haidee’s vid about it 6) was able to secure cheap forex from bpi kasi i asked for a special rate. they gave me 0.4169 php per jpy. regular rates na yata now is around 0.435 php/jpy, so more expensive. Enjoy planning your jp trip!!

[@cez6379]

Interesting... how to ask for special rates in bpi?

For me, I would be intimidated if I am her boyfriend, because she’s very organized and very strong independent woman. As a guy, this encourage me to to do better to provide not only for myself, but also for people that is very important for me.

[@La.la06]

Tita Thea really goes all out in sharing! I love how generous you are when it comes to information. Like you're my go to vlogger talaga. More tour vlog ❤

[@bryannealbertbarcena9878]

Hi, Thea! One hack for travel insurance - some banks do offer free travel insurance when you use their credit card for purchasing flight tickets. Sayang din savings. 😅

[@TheaSyBautista]

Yup!! Pero kasi I only paid my flight taxes since the fare was paid thru miles, hindi sya covered ng cc insurance :)

[@abigaelvictoria2598]

The detailed japan trip we all deserve!! Love you always Tita Thea ❤❤❤

Yey another Japan content, can you pls share how you get free flights from miles, like whats your main credit card and how you book for flights with airmiles, maybe a different video content 😊 truly love your channel, thank u

[@TheaSyBautista]

As much as possible, i avoid using cash para when I pay via CC, i earn points. These points are transferred to miles programs of different airlines (i use mabuhay miles ng PAL and asia miles of cathay pacific) :) main ccs i use now are citi premiermiles and bpi visa signature!

[@cathylee6538]

@@TheaSyBautista truly appreciate the response, maybe I’ll shift to citi premiermiles this time and activate na my Bpi signature card hehe thank you for the tip :). Cant wait for our Japan trip too this July

[@TheaSyBautista]

Yes pwede!! Pero need sa asia miles mo macredit and need ikaw mag book pero sa kanya mo ipapangalan when redeeming :) i also covered my bf’s flight for japan, tapos miles nya ginamit nung nag sg kami for convenience lang.

ilang premiere miles po yang MNL-Tokyo-MNL RT ticket? 30k talaga?

30K asia miles siya. So multiply by 1.6 to get required premier miles to be converted. Pero yung mga asia miles ko kasi naipon yan from way before pa na 1:1 yung ratio pa sa premiermiles :)

[@jacyam1221]

ask ko lng ano name nun hand cream

[@egsantos]

Thea, why did you spend so much in accommodation?

[@TheaSyBautista]

Haloo! Actually mura na yung accommodation ko since I booked the hotel 4 mos in advance. Yung trip namin sa Japan was the Sakura full bloom week in Tokyo ☺️ 2 mos before our trip I checked other options, and nagrange 140k up na yung accom for a decent hotel and airbnb unit. Tokyo is also more expensive than kyoto/osaka/nara area. I think muka syang pricey kasi ang laki ng amount but ang tagal rin namin sa tokyo - 12 nights. So essentially yung cost is around 6200 per night lang for 2pax or 3100 each. Unli coffee, drinks, snacks and beer narin sya plus really good service :) For comparison, yung 12d stay namin sa tokyo during peak season is just as expensive as a 3-4night stay in shang boracay ☺️

[@egsantos]

@@TheaSyBautista Oo nga naman no. Hindi na masama. And as you said it was also a chill trip so you spent more time in your hotel. Unlike me when I travel, I leave early in the morning and return by midnight na. Kaya hindi practical yung more than 2k/night. That was very well justified Thea. Since bnreakdown mo, mas naging clear. Haha! Thank you
