COMPLETE COSTS
3 Weeks Traveling to EUROPE
1. Flight return tickets Jakarta – London Heathrow – Jakarta around Rp. 14.000.000,-/person by OMAN AIR (1x change at Muscat International Airport)
2. Visitor Visa UK: 124 USD/person (standard service; visa valid for 6 months, include with VFS agent fee)
3. Biaya Visa Schengen: Rp. 1.400.000,-/orang (for France Embassy = 60 EUR / IDR 949.400,-/person, exclude fee for TLS agent)
(urusan dokumen, seperti biasa harus isi form dulu via online, kemudian kita mengurus dokumen sendiri ke kantor TLS Contact di Kuningan). Untuk mengurus Visa Schengen ini, kita sempat “ditakut2i” oleh petugas dan ditawari untuk membayar lebih untuk fasilitas Premium dimana bila ada dokumen yang kurang, user dapat submit dokumen via email saja, tidak perlu datang (tidak perlu buang waktu kesana lagi), dan dokumen dapat disubmit ke mereka sampai jam 7 pagi esok harinya. Tapi karena kita pede dokumen kita lengkap dan sesuai dengan apa yang diminta, kita pun mengurus Visa Schengen ini dengan jalur biasa (normal). Dari pengalaman kemarin, kita baru sempat submit kelengkapan dokumen fisik di hari Selasa pagi tanggal 20 Agustus 2019, we received the announcement on Friday, 24 August 2019, dan alhasil, kita pick up Passport dan Visa Schengen di hari Senin, 26 Agustus 2019. Pengambilan Visa dapat dilakukan langsung di Loket Pengambilan yang ada di lantai dasar (tidak perlu mengantri). Puji Tuhan, Visa Schengen approved untuk kita berdua, yeay! 
4. Eurorail Pass = 868 EUR = total Rp. 12.832.000,- for two persons
Eurorail Pass dapat dibeli online atau langsung ke travel agent yang menyediakan. Kita membeli Eurorail Global Pass Flexi 10 Days (valid for 2 months) untuk kategori kelas 2nd CLASS! Asiknya di sini, kita langsung menerima fisik Tiket Eurail Pass untuk dibawa kesana, jadi kita tidak perlu deg-degan menunggu Eurail Pass dikirim dari luar negeri yang bisa makan waktu up to 1 week. Perlu diingat, Eurail Pass ini hanya berlaku untuk turis yang akan ke Eropa dan hanya dapat dibeli di negara sendiri, sebelum terbang ke Eropa.
*Eurail Global Pass Flexi adalah tiket terusan Kereta Api Eropa yang berlaku tanpa batas jarak di 1 hingga 31 negara di Eropa dengan sistem pemakaian harian secara fleksibel (tidak berurutan).
5. Accomodation in Europe: you can refer to details in each country below
6. Transportation in Europe: you can refer to details in each country below
7. Internet Connection
Untuk koneksi internet, kali ini kami menggunakan Simcard Vodafone mobile card 20GB 4G Data, dapat dibeli di VFS UK Kuningan City Lantai 2 Jakarta. Dan sebagai cadangan, kami juga membeli Simcard Internet Connection dari Provider 3 sebagai back-up apabila salah satu simcard memiliki masalah koneksi ketika berada di daerah tertentu di Eropa.
