Hey guys,

I just wanted to share that I received an email from Hawaiian Airlines regarding a sale of $874 RT from anywhere they fly in the states to Manila for a limited time.

The cheapest I could find elsewhere came to $1200 US minimum, so this is a good deal.

You have to travel after 13 August, and the ticket must be booked on their website before the end of April.

I would have jumped on this, but I can't hold out much longer on a trip to the RP.

Enjoy.

You can get airfare RT from Cathay pacific or PAL for around 925 USD from LA or SFO to Manila fly before may23, airfare go up after that by 95 USD until after end of sep.

Guys,

Is anyone able to help regarding any issues I need to be concerned about if I am travelling internally in the Philippines on election day? I am flying from CDO back to Cebu on the 10th of May and booked my ticket months ago without realising this was election day. Some of the girls I have spoken to have been all doom and gloom but most Filipinas seem to express their opinions without anything of substance to support those views. Would prefer a more reliable opinion from some of you guys that actually live or work there.

This election year seems to have a little bit of spice and everything not nice. Outgoing President clawing and scratching her way out the door. An incendiary murder case in which the President is showing favor to the perpetrators, candidates doing everything in their power to vilify and humiliate the opposing candidates.

Anybody for People Power Revolt Part 3? That’s one movie I hope not to see.

Mortman you will be fine just take the same precautions as usual have great trip.

If I recall correctly you will find software for a-poo on the CD.
But smart thing would be to go to a SMART store in one of the major malls and ask them for assistance in installing it on your machine. ;)

Beginning April 22. Anyone having experience w/SmartBro or adapter for Apple laptop to access internet? The Marriott charges hi fees for internet and I would like a less expensive option. PM if you would like to meet.

Cheers

Finally, I have all my flights arrangements confirmed and my hotel in Angeles booked. I am counting down to the day (3 week from now) when I will be in Angeles.

I need some advise as to which "pre-paid" mobile service provider should I buy my phone number from and where can I get such a number in Angeles. I am asking as this is my first time to Angeles.

Hope someone can help. Thanks in advance.

BT Travel same as BT STORE? Or all together diff ccompaany?

Sorry, yes. Same company. www.bt-store.com

[Mayntain]

Spent a couple hours researching and doing some digging...kinda shady. Ill stick to BT Travel. I like BT because byou can have the search do plus/minus 1, 2, or 3 days if youre flexible. For instance for my dates there was a $400 difference just by leaving one day earlier.

Anyway...just reporting my findings on what I thought might be a great find.

Hi all (maybe I should start saying y'all)!

My easy trips from Korea to Philippines are over for now. I will be moving back to the US soon, near Lexington, KY. I know this might envoke the RTFF comments, but I'm going to ask the question anyhow. Does anyone know where would be the best place for me to check for flights from Lexington to Cebu, or Manila even? I just looked at the link below for ASAP Tickets, and they showed a round trip in June would be at least $1300! I might have to wait for the off season to try to get better pricing.

Happy mongering!
