I will be in RGN for R2s, 1/30/13 and 2/6/13, only staying in the airport. However, I plan to see the country a bit, 10 days to 2 weeks prior to flying R1 ticket 3/24/13.

Landing in RGN on Feb 13 on TG 303, leaving for a day and a half to Mandalay, getting back into RGN on the 14th. Flying out on TG 306.

I've been to RGN twice already, but have 5 or 6 hours after my flight lands from MDL till my TG flight leaves so might go visit "The Lady's" house or explore the lake, which some of the things I still haven't had a chance to do in RGN...

Arriving at RGN at 11am on the 9th of Feb and leaving again same day at 10pm. Just planning on checking out Yangon/pagoda etc

redtailshark Feb 3, 2013 2:26 am

Inbound 2/12 on SQ, outbound 2/13 on TG.

Looks like a couple of you will be there. Check for PMs.

Mandalay and Yangon
 
I fly Air Asia DMK-MDL on Wed, Feb 6. I'll spend about 4 or 5 days.

I think I'll arrive RGN on Mon, Feb 11 and leave Thur, Feb 14.

Some PMs sent, will send more. I was in both places 1-1/2 years ago. Trying to figure out where to stay in Yangon. The East Hotel prices have tripled!

DBoy Feb 8, 2013 10:14 pm

Another reminder, bring crisp USD, no B in serial no.
 
I thought I had 9 perfect $100 bills. I learned my lesson the last time I was here. I changed $300 at the airport, no problem. But the guest house that I'm staying at rejected 4 of the 6 that I had left. They don't accept bills that have a B as the second letter in the serial number, and one bill had a very slight fold!

Bring extra cash. Some bills are going to get rejected!

Universe Hotel, Mandalay, has good location, good WiFi in the room and a back up generator. $35 for a single, breakfast included.

Will be transiting in RGN at the end of the month.
27th february (wed).

TG305 (arr.18:40) ---> NH914 (dep.22:00)

I suppose that after reading previous posts, I may be able to bypass immigration and go straight to the departures area if I can get TG to issue my onwards BP?

If not, I will have my 2 transit visa immigration forms and 20$ handy.

Keter Feb 21, 2013 6:53 am

23FEB TG303 BKK RGN (08:00) leaving same day TG304 (09:45) from RGN to BKK with 2 others.

Interested in chat with people who like ticketing and fares rather than travel itself:) Ie would be interested to discuss the limitations of certain GDSs (ie domestic sectors excluded from MPM checks etc)... Or other tricks.

jfkeze Feb 25, 2013 3:47 pm

31 March - 8 AM? to 12:15 PM...

probably coming in on Air Asia from DMK, flying out at noon to KUL. Debating whether an airside TWOV (not sure how this will work with AirAsia) or a VoA... don't want to spend 20 bucks on yet another Burma visa and not use it...

update: my dates are from march 11th to 24th
 
I am currently in the SIN SG lounge enroute to Rgn. Will arrive March 11th for 2 nights at the Motherland Inn 2, then go north. Would be nice to meet up with someone and perhaps share some travel. As noted previously, I will fly my R1 on march 24th.

thanks. do you know where the RGN info thread went? i feel like there was a consolidated place for all the tour guides, Bagan things to do, Yangon stuff to do, etc. there - or maybe I am confused and just have to plow through the R3 thread where I must've seen it.

Yep, that was my starting point. No worries....... there's a bunch of stuff buried in the R3 thread, time to re-read all the naysayers and look for it. Hehe.
