My brother get his vacation approved..
After working for almost 3 years non-stop, he was practically "forced" to avail his vacation otherwise he wont get paid. Huh! Good for him.. I know that he is, at this point in time, in bad need of "unwinding".
Just like everyone who works abroad, he needs a rest. So I took the decision for him. I still have an unused service related ticket and i decided to give it to him. What is the point of working in the airline if you will not use these privilege?? After all, this is the only benefit we really have! (bitter much?)
It doesn't take long to convince him of going because he haven't been to any country except to UAE and of course, the Philipines ... although i know that he really hates traveling using staff ticket because he gets bumped off all the time. (Mnl-Dxb flights are always full!). But in the end, it is the sense of "adventure" that took over.
There is a challenge though... He only has to spend 200 USD, as a pocket money going to Dubai-Hongkong/Hongkong-Bangkok/ Bangkok-Dubai.... in one week.
It is a hard earned money. And for 3 years of hard work... 200 USD is nothing. But recession made it a blood money in fact.
So how did BOK prepared for travel? How does a guy prepare for a week travel? Let's take a peek on his traveling paraphernalia!
- Passport and notebook- the notes contains instruction on mostly "how to's" in staff travel. flight details, important numbers, hotel bookings.... in short... his Itinerary.
- Toiletries- in zip loc container.
