Flying in on the April fools to act a fool.

[MrHappyKat]

First time to the Philippines, but I have experience traveling to many places: Dom Rep, Shanghai, Singapore, Tijuana, Caribbean / Aruba, Western Europe, UK, and more.

I will be in Manila / Ermita for 3 nights, Angeles for 6 nights, then Makati (P. Burgos) for the last 5 nights.

Happy to meet up with fellow board members for a beverage, food, and / or prowl.

I'm 61, semi-retired (FinTech), and I'm expecting to do everything my US-based sugar babies don't need to know about.

If interested, please send me a DM.

I will be in Boracay from February 19th to March 3rd. If you have any information and tip to share, please do not hesitate.

[DandyMan51]

Will be flying in tomorrow and heading directly to AC. Depending on how I like it, I may continue to explore. Open to meeting up people. I have mongered in a handful of countries but first time in Philippines so would enjoy having some company and learning a bit about the scene beyond what is already posted here. PM me if interested.

What airlines are your guys using from the US?

Can't go wrong using Google Flights. If you put in ORD to MNL and then click on the date a calendar will pop up showing the least expensive fares by departure date. Cheapest current August fare for a two-week stay (8/31-9/13) is $1,114. That's Delta via Detroit and Seoul on the way out, and Korean Air via Seoul on the way back, roughly 25 hours of travel time each way (not great, but not terrible).

Next available sub-$1000 fares from ORD are not until last week of September, but those are for a Turkish Air route through Istanbul which requires 32 hours of travel time.

Singapore Air and Saudia have both been sub-$1000 out of JFK in September, but are suboptimal routes (to wit: JFK-Frankfurt-Singapore-MNL, 36 hours) and (JFK-Jetta-MNL, 34 hours). I would never want to give the Saudi government so much as a dime of my money, but if you're looking for OFW mongering opportunities, you could do worse than the Jeddah-MNL flight.

Unfortunetly that's the rates right now. Since they recently opened and everyone is trying to head back and visit family.

.

I just booked a trip to Cebu in late August with Expedia from NYC. Cost was $1425.22 hours going. 25 hours coming back. JFK direct to Seoul. Then Seoul to Cebu.

Very cheap. But the best was the 4 nights I booked at the Quest hotel for $45 a night average.

I gave up on Philippine Air and such. Their prices are ridiculous.

I'm in Chicago, Illinois. USA What airlines are your guys using from the US? Flights from Chicago are $4 to 5000 dollars for round trip. Out of LAX they are $3000 to $4000 round trip.

Thanks to anyone that reply's.

Horndog.
