General Info

Jump on Hi5, create a profile and start being friends. I had more free pussy (not the cutest either) from meeting people. They call it 'tagged' in PI; they would request to be friends and about an hour or so later they were taking a taxi to the hotel. LOL. So many girls I can to tip my chambermaid because of changing the sheets so many times at the Intercontinental.

If you white. Guaranteed to get free stuff off of there. I had one girl ask if her friend could come over after we did it. Her friend wanted to sleep with a white dude (PI guys must be small); she came over and 3rd threesome I've had in life (2nd one that was free).

I think they use Hi5 as their Facebook. Everybody has a profile there.

I'm glad HI5 worked out for you. For a while I was getting a lot of spam from them. There are more than a few web pages that you can find where they are criticized. Here is one: [URL]http://socialnetworking.lovetoknow.com/hi5-problems[/URL].

I just booked a round trip flight to Manila in July using United Airlines for the first time, since by far, they have the cheapest fares. But The long distance portion of the trip is San Francisco to Honolulu, the Honolulu to Guam, then Guam to Manila. I was astounded that United considers all of those legs except the 3.5-hour Manila flight to be "domestic," and therefore has no meals (except sandwiches for purchase). Also, United only allows ONE free bag!

In the past, I've always flown Delta, but their tickets were much more pricey in the summer months. What happened to the good old days?!

RG.[/QUOTE]Competition is fierce. Fly with a discount carrier & put up with it or pay more. In the Asia Pacific Air Asia, Tiger & Jetstar all do this. I usually fly Singapore Air but lately have been using Cathay Pacific.

I can't stand discount carriers myself.

Just easier to go United round-trip non-stop to Hong Kong and then use Cebu Pacific in and out of CRK. As for those domestic legs, at least its not so many reward miles if you ever want to go to Guam, Marshall Islands or Palau or whatever else is on the way.

RG.[/QUOTE]I just booked Dubai to Atlanta are / T. I normally fly Delta, but the ticket was $1800 and I noticed a small statement that said "No miles will be earned". I called Sky miles hotline and sure as shit, Delta basically stopped giving miles unless you pay full fare. I was on hold 45 minutes and I told the agent, your customer service is just as bad as your sky mile program and I will book Qatar Airlines.

You did the right thing. Give your business to Turkish, Qatar, Ethihad, Emirates and Jet Airways.

When the Accountants (who run Delta these days) realize they are losing Customers and market share, the miles will magically be offered again on all types of fares.

I will just add I bought 3 tickets using "cheapfareguru / airtkt" about 5 weeks ago leaving Phoenix to LAX, LAX to Narita and Narita to Manila. Cost was $3900 with Phx / Lax and Lax / Narita serviced by United and Narita / Manila serviced by ANA.

Only the Lax / Narita flight listed any included meal. On that flight although only the dinner was listed we also had a breakfast and a lunch. The Narita / Manila flight listed no meal but we were offered something that resembled canned cat food.

United and their one 50 lb bag free policy stink but other than that the long flight was very comfortable on a Dreamliner 787. The flight from Narita / Manila might have been the worst I have had since flying Eastern back in the 80's.

Been here (Bago City) a week now with 2 more to go. No mongering this trip with wife and kid along but I am sure there is action to be had if you know the right person and have a fist full of piso's!

RG.[/QUOTE]I took that route recently--actually it was worse since I flew from my East Coast city to Houston, Honolulu, Guam then finally Manila. The first flight was not too bad but the second two were quite long, and no food was served. They didn't even offer up snacks for purchase, though perhaps they were available upon request. I planned to grab some airport food between the first two flights, but the first flight was delayed so I had to run to the connection. The other connections were also tight so there was no time to eat.

I'd probably do it again, it was significantly cheaper than any other option. But I'll bring food this time for sure.

That fare is not cheap at all you can take PAL direct from LAX to Manila for about the same price, doing all this connection it take too damn long I like to fly direct save time even I have to paid more, I like Cathay Pacific they have many connection from HKG to Manila and 5 direct flight a day from LAX or SFO to HKG and service is much better than PAL or United.

Fast eddie 48.

Fast eddie 48.[/QUOTE]Depends on the day of the week. I take the morning flight that gets into Cebu around 11:30 in the morning. I would rather connect in Hong Kong since my final destination is Cebu anyway.

FastEddie,

Thanks for the info I will be sure to keep it in mind for the next trip.

Have a good one.
