Another fare strategy is taking a major airline to one of the waypoints and then finding a low cost carrier airport that has flights to your final destination.

You can save some major currency with this flight trip, there is a downside to this with risk that either carrier at the connection airports is delayed causing a missed flight on the other carrier, checked-in baggage transfer / missing / delayed since there is different multiple carriers involved that has no relationship to each other.

There is an upside to this fare strategy, definitely recommend purchasing travel insurance if you chose this journey.

A few Legacy carriers do interline with LCCs now. You can check if your agency has authorisation.

[QUOTE=Skip Kost; 1337559]For flights originating from Detroit or the west coast to Japan, and from Narita or Nagoya to Manila. 747s or A-330s are fine, but I think only the 777 has sufficient range for the nonstop from Atlanta to Narita. [/QU.

Not that is really matters, but the 747-400 has plenty of range for ATL-NRT. ORD-HKG is a much longer flight and a. 400 is used on it everyday. Of course there might be some factors on a specific day, but I know that the 747 is used out of ATL. Also DL has service from MSP to Asia as well, and they use the A-330 / B-747 / B-777.

Sammon, I would be happy paying $825 for just the SFO to MNL legs. I searched all the big sites and United direct and could not find anything near that cheap.

Any advice on how to find the low price?

None of the travel sites offer these low fares.

What I did was united. Com and check every day by putting flexible dates. Let us say I was leaving in October ad I put October 5 and check 21 days a table comes up showing fares. If it is high I redo it saying 20 days. I check like this every day.

Most important is you need to be ready to go on those dates with cheap prices.

If you put exact dates you will not get these rates. Just to let you know one time I got $550 rate on united. Com orlando-washington dulles- narita- manila. But when I tried to book it did not take instead website gave a phone

Number to call. I called that number but the lady was not helpfull. Last time I made the trip I g.

Ot a very good price and when I called the same way lady was helpfull and booked it. At that time she said because of narita. Manila trip is by ANA there is a problem booking on website.

So this time when I saw low price and all flights were on united I had no problem booking

The Delta service is 747 or A-330 using Narita as a Asian hub.

I am looking for a good hotel possible for a coulpe of night then I am flying out to Mindanano. A safe and reasonable price hotel. Allso anyone want to hang out with me please send me a message ok.

Thanks

I have managed to set aside four working days to go to Manila. As I arrive on Friday night and leave Tuesday morning, I have at least two full days and 4 nights free.

I have been to Manila once before and remember the fantastic bars in Makati. On that trip, I had lined up a DIA girl from the provinces, who proved to be great looking but mediocre in bed. So, when I got bored, I would put on my running suit and jog to a local massage place where I would get a 10 minute massage and a much longer blow job for 1000 pesos. This was, in my view, a nice way to mix P4P with "non-pro".

I have at least 5 girls from DIA and pinalove who are willing (so they say) to meet me in my hotel and spend the night. I will rotate them into my schedule (I assume 2 of the 5 won't show up). I would like to have the option of leaving the girl from time to time and either get a nice BBBJ or fuck a girl in a bar. But, do any of the bars in Manila have rooms? I have been through the forum and cannot find any.

To the experienced members of the forum: where would you stay if this were a high priority on your list. Makati City? And other area of city? Many thanks!

You can always BARFINE then go to a short time hotel near burgos. Barfine from Rogues, pay ST for the girl plus ST hotel (few walking distance from Rogues) should set you back around 3500p or less.

I haven't seen short-time rooms in a bar. There are some bars in Burgos that have curtained cubicles.

The logistics of this is feasible. I assume you know Manila's three main areas (for foreigners) : Burgos St & Havana Cafe (Makati) , EDSA Complex (Pasay) , and MBC (Ermita). MBC does not have rooms, however there are many hotsheet hotels in the area, such as Sogo and well as tourist class ones. Google Ermita hotels and cross reference with MBC in google maps to determine distance. No barfine to pay and a short time will run 1500 pesos (negotiable). At EDSA Complex again there are no short-time rooms, but there is the Heritage Hotel (expensive) across the street. One block away is the much cheaper Royal Blue Marlin Hotel at corner of F. B. Harrison and Cuneta. Also in Pasay are "garages" aka "drive-in" motels. I've been to a couple and they are similar to Japan's love hotels with mirrors, etc. I had the girl tell the taxi driver to take us to one and he found one quickly. In Burgos I don't know of any bars w / rooms, but I recall some (Dimples?) have curtained cubicles. You have your largest number of bars in Burgos and free lancers about 10 minutes away at Havana (Greenbelt 3). Moreover, there are many massage places in Burgos. Burgos is your most expensive barfine. There's a great number of hotels in the immediate vicinity, but your best bargain at 1350p is the Clipper Hotel at corner of Burgos and Kalayaan.

If you don't want to pay barfines stay in Ermita; you and your DIA girl at a hotel and use Sogo or the like for MBC pickups. If money is no concern stay in the Burgos or Greenbelt shopping area. Lastly, since these DIA girls are strangers make sure your hotel has a safe. Some are large enough for a 15" laptop if you bring one, but you'll want to email the hotel to confirm. I've had girls steal clothing, so keep that in mind. Minimize the temptations.

Happy hunting.

Malate, Amazonia bar / hotel. Pool, live band, and girls downstairs. You can rent a room upstairs. One block from MBC.

A thought. Try kayak. Com, and enter your travel dates and to / from city, and check the price. Usually, in the upper-right corner of the page, they display a monthly calendar. Each day of the calendar has a price, the lowest price for a round-trip departing that day. You will see one or two prices that are ridiculously low. If you click on the price, it brings up that flight information. If you want that flight, you will have to fly on the departure and return days specified (you don't get to specify the days, the flights are already arranged for you). If you are willing to fly on their schedule, you get a cheap flight. It rarely works out that you can fly on their schedule (the outbound or return leg will be outside of your vacation window) , but if you are available at those days, and don't mind the (possible) 16 connecting flights, you get a dirt-cheap fare. The airlines simply program their computers to locate the seats on certain flights that rarely sell, then discount them heavily, and put the flights together to get you to / from your destination. Its like F Gump's box of chocolates: you never know what you're going to get until you click on the price and see the details of the flights.

Total time is better than if you'd gone Delta through Atlanta, which flies nonstop to Japan or with Korean nonstop Atlanta to Incheon. I assume the three legs from SFO to MNL were continuation legs of one flight. Otherwise four hours for three connections is very snug; no room for a late flight.

Sorry, one more question: what kind of plane for the ocean flights?

With just one delay though, your entire schedule could get thrown off. One of the downsides to long flights with many layovers.

Good luck though,

The UAL flights are not continuations, they are different flights. This is the way UAL connects with the former CAL Micronesia system. It is either a 767 or 777 to HNL and the rest of the legs are on a B737NG. UAL had a small hub out of Guam, that they use to connect the So. Pac islands.

The reason the ticket was soooo cheap was they are finding a way to fill otherwise empty seats with passengers that are otherwise not so fussy about schedules. Of course it also helps build miles!

The Delta service is 747 or A-330 using Narita as a Asian hub.

[BionicMan]

Depends on airline but anyhow the planes can be 767 and 777.
