Has anybody here used oway.com.mm? I'm thinking about booking a flight with them, but I'm concerned that I'm going to arrive and my tickets will be useless.

PS - not promoting the business at all. I just heard of them two days ago. Some of their fares seem good, and I just want to see if anybody here has had any experiences with them, good or bad.

i wouldn't do it if i were you.

i have been travelling to Myanmar for the past 3 months to visit my boyfriend and he's a local and hasn't heard of or even seen this site. The system of the prelim Groupon deals also don't work. He went to a restaurant and showed a print out to the Japanese restaurant and they had no idea what he was talking about nor has any idea what it was!! Good thing it was cheap so it wasn't like he wasted too much money on it.

Good luck and stick with established websites and big brands if i were you!

I just used them for a flight tkt. & hotel. Hotel was confirmed instantly & flight in half hour.

You get vouchers which are good to go.

I was also thinking about using them, but I am worried about paying by credit card (in a country where credit cards are usually not accepted), getting a voucher, going to Myanmar and discovering that the voucher is useless.

Any experience with using the vouchers will be much appreciated.

Thanks!

I didn't use Oway but we have booked hotels with Asiatravel and Agoda and prepaid them and have vouchers for our stays. I'm quite comfortable with this since both are well known companies.

There seems to be some controversy on here about Oway - one user wrote a very glowing review but there have been a few negative responses - all from people with zero history on TA.

Oway is a trustworthy booking site. i have tried using it numerous times and every time they have come through with flying colors. This is getting to be quite a well known site in such a short time simply because it beats contacting the agents though phones and emails etc. (who does this nowadays anyway??). They are the only ones who you can book domestic flights online with and they are very competitive in pricing.

Moichee,

From my research I believe many travellers are communicating with Myanmar travel agents via email/agent website as this is the most practical way to do so (provides a written record).

Can you expand on your comment "competitive in pricing". Compared to who? Quoted prices from travel agents? From what I've read, internal airlines websites don't usually show prices (I've only looked at 1 site so far & no prices).

We actually ended up using oway for a couple of hotels. I am sitting in the first one now and there have been no problems so far. I hope it is just as easy at the next hotel. I actually had a misunderstanding with oway and they initially overcharged. After one email, the returned the money to my account, no questions asked. They do charge a higher price than the hotels themselves, thats probably how they make this a business. But as we where having trouble finding available hotels, we settled on making the last few arrangements through this site and so far its been hassle free
