Yes, very convenient point to point and yes, cost was very reasonable being close to what is paid for a decent charter car & boat hire.
Enjoy. G.

ABC does have a rooftop pad but I believe it is weight limited. I do know some customers who took the chopper option but their checked luggage came by road.
Your luggage weight for the smaller R44 will also be a problem if you have a few of you and 30 kgs luggage per person.
If you really want some aviation adventure PH style then consider a multi-stop trip around Luzon or the other islands. This is what I was investigating when I was there.

One of our banks was busted by the regulator last week and fined $1.3 billion. First they let the Muslim terrorist types send money through over-the-counter teller transactions to ISIS so they can keep blowing up US Marine humvees. Then they let sick mongers send money to pimps in Flipsville for various dubious purposes. Apparently the bank should have been more alert since they were small, regular transactions going to Flipsville. There should have been an automatic alarm. Hahaha. I wonder if any ISG mongers are embroiled in this? The Philippines seems to attract the most unsavoury types on the planet.

If all countries were ranked according to generosity, the US would lead the pack and be the best 'Giver'. The Philippines, on the other hand, would be at the bottom of the pile and be the best 'Taker'. I can't think of anything good to come out of the Philippines apart from balut and may be cheap labor to crew the world's merchant cargo fleet! Nope, I'm not going to include call centres as most of the LBFMs who work those are bird brained nincompoops who can't solve the most basic problem. Hahaha. And grown men are going ape-shit over this corrupt, third world shithole? Seems like most will die without getting their marshmallows sucked one last time. Hahaha.

Posts: 405Air Taxi Phil
I have been making so much money lately that this has become reasonably priced now as funny as that sounds my question is has any one tried this? You can scoff at it all you want but I hate being stuck in manila traffic and the ride to subic is horrendous.
They say that the flight time is cut down because there is no formal check in you show up and within 15-30 mins you are in the air. I know that the cost is what it is I'm not asking how to get to these destinations the cheapest (I know how to do that). I'm asking if anyone has actually taken chartered flights around phils and / or a helicopter to clark? Reason being my bank account has recently grown to the size where this would not set me back very much and if it saves me time and hassle I'm all for it.

Posts: 405My bank account has since doubled again (and I expect it to keep doubling as long as this continues) since my last post the bull market lasted until the first week of this month so record levels of money being made and absolutely nothing to spend it on. People with money that do any kind of investing are making more money faster and easier than they ever have, on both sides of the market. I haven't had so much steak for dinner in my history on this planet. That being said I think I'm going to need to buy a second penis just to get enough time getting it in when phils opens back up.
We debating mask effectiveness? Anyone who has fucked a bar fine bareback shouldn't be wearing a mask, these are dirty men doing dairy deeds literally swallowing veteran hookers vaginal secretions. Come on. I only wear masks in phils for what they are used for the stench of human filth that makes its way to the surface from the canals and the filth that comes out of the back end of trikes. Death rate has dropped by 50% in a very short period of time and will continue to do so, so the doom and gloom alarmists that projected the end of the world were off by 50% and that margin is growing. IF the vaccine is only 50% effective you are talking about 50% less people infected (at the very least) on top of that 50% reduction in deaths. And that also presupposes we do not make any further advancements in therapeutics. People with this fake bravado of mask or die are just sadists, ultimately punishing the poor and disenfranchised and just further exacerbating the poor's plight. This is a classic example of the rich getting ALOT richer and poor getting ALOT poorer.

One, you could hold up masks in a laboratory, intentionally try to blow aerosol particles through them, and measure what gets through.
Two, from testing for covid positive cases you could try to assess what proportions of the positive patients had and had not faithfully worn masks in public. There are several difficulties with this approach. First, people lie, so their answers about mask wearing may not be entirely trustworthy. You would also need an estimate of the proportion of people in the general public wearing masks. If the proportion of positive test mask wearers is approximately the same as mask wearers in the general public, you can assume masks make little or no difference. If mask wearers among the positive testing individuals are a smaller proportion of positive cases as compared to mask wearers in the general public, then masks probably made a difference. This approach is also complicated by having to control for factors like social distancing, lockdowns, and so on.
A third approach is to compare infection rates between areas with and without mask mandates. This seems to be the type of evidence most of the "experts" on TV are citing. There are also some potential threats to validity in this design as well: differences in population density, differences in time of initial onset of spreading in particular settings and so on.
Bar tenders, cab drivers, and some scientists all have opinions, but evidence trumps (no pun intended) opinions.

Posts: 451Many don't wear the mask properly. The virus is airborne. It survives a long time on surfaces. Including food items. It is found on frozen food items.
The practice to promote not testing is widespread including Europe and US. Tests are expensive and take a long time.
Some Indian cities are a great study on the covid19 virus spread. Mumbai slums are over 70% infected with the Covid19 and will show if herd immunity works. With the Taj Mahal and trains running, the virus will spread further. If heat kills the virus, it will be seen in India. So far reported death rates are low. Again, no test no virus.
Since Trump will most likely do away with ballots or have a supreme Court stacked with his appointees to choose the next president, there will probably not be any coordinated effort to contain the spread of the virus. US troops and Marshalls will be called to stop protesters but not to stop covid19 from spreading.
There are some tongue in cheek advice on Covid19 safe sex. I only wish I had a remote island like Berlusconi, and stock it with a harem.
Sex and parties are still available but most are driven underground if there is a lockdown. Otherwise booking through virtual means to arrange a face to face can be done. Many just don't follow the quarantine.

I can buy the multi layer home made cloth ones here for 30 p. I have about a dozen, keep a couple in my car, some in my pack, I just wash them in soapy water and hang to dry after each wearing.
No problem.
Remember Mask it or Casket.

The world is going backwards in many ways and are repeating history. Trump is trying to plunder Tiktok. He only wishes he could declare China as terra nullius.
For the other poster about cutting queues in PI, it happens all over. (I am sure he has tried to cut a queue with a LBFM by offering sweetners. I know I havd).
In New York, there ard many swippers. Taxis, buses, checkout, checkin are common. Swipper no swpping. Actually the South Asians are the worse or maybe there are just more of them in the queues I usually stand in.
The good thing I see is more countries opening up. Lock downs are killing the economy. As with the FAA safety regulations, the systemized balance between cost and lives lost is sinking in and being adopted by many. (I am and will avoid the 737 max).
PI will need to open up to at least to people within its borders. If you are a young stud in the PI, the girl buffet is cheap and plentiful.
PI is still sending their workers around the world. I read that European cruises are going to restart. Many PI ladies work there. Likewises, I assume you can hire a PI lady for some tasks in some countries and bring them out. You might just have to live on that one pussy for a year or 90 days.
China also announced recently that foreign residents who fled are allowed back in.
Likewise Thailand is working on tourist quotas and new guidelines. Google is your friend. Confirm and reconfirm and triple check any announcements. When the left hand does not know the right hand is doing, you as the traveller will get stuck. Thailand is a really good example and I knew a couple people caught there.
