Summer Learning Journey - Day 2 Bonus

For Day 2 of the Summer Learning Journey, I decided to do an extra bonus activity. In this activity I had to use the Travelex currency converter website to find out how much each ticket would cost in New Zealand dollars. I looked at each ticket's cost and found out that the 'Kaula Lampur, Malaysia' - Emirates ticket was the cheapest of them all. It was only $1,069.98. While the most expensive was the 'Ottawa, Canada' - WestJet/Cathay Pacific which was $5,163.43. 

These were our steps to follow to find out how much each ticket would be in New Zealand Dollars:


Step 1 – Click on the blue button in the middle of the screen with the two arrows. This will move the words ‘New Zealand – New Zealand Dollars (NZ$$) from the box at the top of the screen to the box at the bottom.
Step 2 – Enter the price of the airline ticket in the ‘From’ box.
Step 3 – Select the currency that you want from the drop down menu in the top box. As soon as you do this you will see the cost of the ticket appear in New Zealand dollars.
Step 4 - Record the cost and then repeat the process for each of the airline tickets.

  1. Hi Sajiha!

    Wow - good on you for undertaking this large activity. It's wonderful to see you embrace new challenges. Awesome.

    I am glad to see that the cheapest ticket was one to Malaysia, particularly given that you are traveling there (albeit virtually) this summer! The world is actually much closer and easier to travel to, than it used to be, and there are opportunities to fly overseas and see amazing things without spending an absolute fortune.

    Now that you have figured out how much it will cost to fly and bought your ticket, you just need to pack your suitcase. I wonder what you'll choose to bring...

    See you online again soon, I hope!

  2. Hi Sanjha. WOW thats a huge difference between prices. Its really interesting to know that the ticket prices vary so much - next time I'm buying a place ticket, I'll search very carefully to get the cheapest one. Thanks for sharing! Suzanne
