Berwisata di Apple Store Hong Kong

Sebagai pecinta produk Apple, kali ini kita membahas mengenai Apple Store. Pertama bersentuhan dengan produk Apple adalah saat memiliki Macbook White. Interfacenya yang begitu indah dan fluid membuat saya tidak mau pakai lagi OS Windows sebagai default. Lalu produk konsumer pertama saya adalah iPod Touch generasi kedua, dibeli tahun 2008 saat jalan-jalan ke Hongkong, gress saat baru dijual di sana. And the rest is history kata orang :) Macbook Pro, Macbook Air, iPad, hingga iPhone 4 sudah pernah dielus-elus. Doakan iPhone 5 segera di tangan.

Nah pada kunjungan terakhir ke Hong Kong, saya sempatkan datang ke flagship Apple Store di Hong Kong. Ini adalah store yang dibangun oleh Apple sendiri, sama seperti Apple Store lain seperti 5th Avenue di NY atau Regent St di London. Untuk Asia, cuma ada di China dan Hong Kong (as 2012). Jadi ini termasuk salah satu tujuan wisata bagi saya.

5 Apps Penting iPhone untuk Travelling

1. Skyscanner

Membeli tiket pesawat sekarang sudah jamannya online. Hampir semua maskapai sudah menjual tiket lewat Internet, yang pasti sangat memudahkan kita. Tetapi akan lebih mudah lagi jika ada yang membantu kita memilih airlines yang paling murah untuk rute yang kita inginkan.

Skyscanner bekerja untuk kebutuhan ini. Cukup masukkan detil seperti destinasi dan tanggal, Skyscanner akan mencarikan airlines dan rute yang memungkinkan lalu diurutkan berdasarkan harga termurah. Kita bisa melakukan pencarian yang lebih detil seperti hanya rute direct, atau jam terbang pagi saja, dsb.

Aplikasi ini kurang lebih sama seperti Kayak (yang lebih terkenal), kelebihan Skyscanner adalah bisa mendapatkan harga low cost carrier di Indonesia seperti Sriwijaya, Lion, dan Tiger. Kelebihan lainnya adalah fiturnya untuk melakukan mix-and-match flight pergi dan pulang, jadi ada kemungkinan harga termurah didapat dari maskapai pergi dan pulang yang berbeda.

Harga: Gratis.
