[QUOTE=John Dust]Just a quick question. Is early April a good time to visit Cebu and Davao or will Easter find flight, hotel and girl bookings scarce? Would May be better?[/QUOTE]
This is a great time to visit but I would wait until Easter is over.
April and May marks the summer season and most colleges are on break
so your chances of running into some nice co-eds greatly increases, at least in Cebu!
Hello to all,
I'm new in ISG. The past weeks I did a lot of reading here and the huge information of all kind I've found here is great. Therefore I wish to thank all the member here for the efforts they did.
I'm planning my first visit to the Philippines. Probably I'm going to travel to different cities. Unnecessary to say I need domestic airline tickets. I have seen that I easely can book online on the websites of Philippine Airlines and/or Cebu Pacific Air.
My question is. Do I need to book the needed flights well in advance – weeks, months – or can I just wait untill I'm there and book a week or even a few days before I willing to take domestic flights?
Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
Mike Bel

Welcome to the board Mike,
Yes you can book right up until the day of your flight! The price might be a little higher depending on availability. But that is a small price to pay for flexibility in your itinerary! You can book online, with an agent or one of the many airline company outlets.

For the bigger cities, I had no problem getting a good price the day before most of the domestic flights. I used both PAL and Cebu Pacific. I believe you can buy PAL online up to 48 hours before your flight.
Check their website.
Watch the internet for special deals, particularly Cebu Pacific. Even Philippine Airline throws one on occasion. If you are doing domestic travel in Ph, its better to book that separate from your international flight, the price is generally in Peso and is cheaper. I've found the internet is always much cheaper than going through an agent, my experience. It becomes not so much booking in advance as watching the airline websites for their deals and discounts. Finally watch the weight limit on luggage, this is a new game Cebu Pacific is playing. The ticket is cheap, but the overweight on luggage for international, last time for me was approx. $10 USA Per kilo over the 15K allowed. Then they charge you again on your domestic transfers.

Yes I got a fare of just over 1600 php one way on CP from CEB to MNL earlier this month! Bought the ticket at their outlet in SM, no waiting.
[QUOTE=Matius]Then they charge you again on your domestic transfers.[/QUOTE]Yes thats true but only 100 php per kilo over.
I will be arriving in Manila on Friday morning and staying thru the following Sunday that is March 20-29. If anyone is around and would like to hook up let me know. Plan on going to Makati, LA Cafe and EDSA.
It was one long assed Wisconsin winter here. First full winter I have spent here in that last 10 years. Given the economy and the decline in my business I was afraid to spend the money on a trip as flight alone from Chicago to Manila is around $1,300.00 right now.
Northwest is runninng their Spring Cash and Miles offer, I think until sometime in May. They showed $657.00 Chicago to Manila with 20,000 miles. I snapped at that like a salmon. Taxes brought it up to $825.00 but still, I'm getting the hell out of here for awhile.
I called my best girl and told her to get her bikinis ready cuz we're goinng to the beach. She has the sweetest little shaved pussy. Now its just a question of which beach. Life is good again.
Hi guys,
I'm in Thailand right now and have about 6 weeks before I must return to Europe. Getting a little jaded with the Thai scene and besides I need to renew my visa so planning a trip elsewhere in SEA for 4. 6 weeks.
The Phils and Indonesia are top of the list (I was in Cambodia for a month in Feb). China is also a possibility but I'm afraid it'll be rather expensive given the way the currency has been appreciating and it's always a bit hit and miss as in my view the Chinese P4P market is a washout.
I've been to both Phils and Indo before but that was quite a few years ago and would like people's views on their relative merits.
As far as I can recall the main problem with Phils was the terrible food and rather overpriced accommodation. But the girls speak English and are often very passionate. There is also the possibility of picking up girls all over the place which I didn't find in Indo.
If I go to Indo is Jakarta the best place to head for? How does Surabaya compare? I've had a desire to travel around Flores, but I presume there is not much available talent there so one would have to try and find a gf willing to accompany you from somewhere else. How is the scene in Bali nowadays?
For anyone with Phils experience, I'm thinking of Manila- Cebu. CDO. Davao any comments on these?

There are other board members on here with far greater experience of these venues but i'll give you my pennies worth:
PHILLS
Manila/Cebu - prices are on par with China
LT options are plentifull
GFE is usually on the menu
Angeles - All of the above at a 30/40% discount
INDO (JAKARTA)
LT options are limited - but available
ST options are off the hook
Girls are generally far more attractive
Gfe is available but harder to find
Many girls are scared of going with non-asians
Jakarta is a complete ***** to navigate in a car. You can waste valuable mongering time moving from one venue to the next.

For anyone with Phils experience, I'm thinking of Manila- Cebu. CDO. Davao any comments on these?[/QUOTE]Im planning a run to Indon also. The Indon board advised me that Jakarta is the place to go. Bali is like Pattya.. a beach scene full of drunken tourist yob's. I understand Indon scene is like Thai scene, little english & ST is most common. Some say higher percentage of lookers, we'll see about that! Phils scene is warmer & friendlier with LT common.
Manila is the most expensive place in Phils to purchase sex but freebies & amateurs are plentiful also. The further away you go from Manila the cheaper the prices with lots of freebies/amateurs. May have to look harder for stunners tho. Angeles city is the cheapest & most commercial sex venue in PI. Lots of bars with lots of girls. If all you want is lots of sex its great but like you said, you get jaded. Cebu & to a lesser extent Davao offer a little tourist relaxation for a change. CDO? dont know that there is much tourism to be had but plenty of girls looking to catch a fish! ;)

That is just Kuta - AV, which is, admittedly full of drunken youngbloods, mainly Aussies:D. Samar is much more laid back and quiet and is the main location of the infamous X-houses, which are the Indo Casa's (*****houses).

I just booked flights online with Philippine Airlines and Cebu Pacific. I could not do this in the past, but last Wednesday, I booked online using an American credit card that used the Verified by Visa password.
Also, Cebu Pacific just had a 1,000,000 seat promo last week. Alot of tickets sold and when I went to book a flight that I have flown 20 times, and never had a problem getting a seat, it was already sold out.
