:`( I exploited the cheap Cebu Pacific prices to get further north in Asia.
If you account for these increased prices, the loss of working hours, the state of our dollar, the need for insurance and potential visas, it has almost become just as viable to backpack domestically. Everything is around triple the price but the extra $400+ saved covers a lot of it for a short trip (well…as long as you don't go to a rip-off destination like Kangaroo Island).
Backpack… domestically? No that won't do…
damn it, why return part is more expensive?
Because you are flying twice the distance.
I previously paid $132 return. Still a good deal
I have already booked SYd - Mnl. and Mnl - Bangkok. about 3 - 4 hours connection but 2 separate bookings. No baggage. Has anyone got experience as to whether I need to go through immigration to do my onwards flight checkin? I know that with AirAsia connecting at Kuala Lumpur if 2 separate bookings you have to go thru Immigration. I was hoping to just be able to go to transit check in.
usually it's a transit checkin
The usuall CebuP CRAP PROMO - there are no seats at this price !
Not Jan FEB or MAR .. why do they bother ?Get off the pot mate. There are lots of flight left at that price
Depends upon how much you value your live versus saving a few dollars
I'm a pilot with a major airline, and recently had opportunity to sit in jumpseat in cockpit on one of their flights ro Manila during a typhoon season. What I saw in terms of regards to safety and operation procedures is concerning. Blatant disregard for going aeound bad weather, etc. there is a reason why these tickets are cheap- and it concerns me that areas such as pilot training and currency is a cost-saving.
Up to the individual , but it was an eye opener for me. And after the air Asia accident last year in Indonesia where it crashed purely because of poor pilot training - always consider how much more a reputable airline will cost, and think about spending a bit extra
You would be Justplanemad, right?
I was wondering, how do tropical countries manage with typhoon seasons? I know the Phillipines has shocking delays as it is, but it seems in Australia we can't handle a stormy week let alone a season. Is typhoon season not actually that bad?
Lots of extra fuel for holding/delays and usually there will be at least 2-3 nominated alternate airports for the destination assigned by airline flight planning/operations department. That means that during the worst of typhoon - if conditions are too bad, the diversions are spread out not
To just one airport. Very disruptive and challenging landing conditions, although frontal systems and thunderstorms in Australia can cause diversions/delays and Nearly as difficult landing conditionsThanks for the info. I actually mentioned the other day how my worst turbulence has always been over Australia.
Do you reckon scoot or airasia are better.
Scoot is the Singapore airlines (SQ), like Jetstar is to qantas. They are owned by SQ and I know a few expat pilots (Aussies) employed with scoot. I don't know enough to comment , but the Singapore aviation regulators are much more thorough than say the Philippines and Indonesia governments for safety and pilot training.
Air Asia - depends upon which branch (country). Indonesia Air Asia had the recent crash, and one of the pilots was fired from a major legacy airline in Asia due to not meeting the required competencies. Unfortunately there are even dodgier carriers out there (such as Lion Air) in Indonesia that are worse and are EU blacklisted (banned from flying in Europe, due to safety concerns). The Malaysia Air Asia and Air Asia X I can't really comment on, as I don't know enough- there's worse out there In terms of Malaysian operators.
I want to go to the Philippines in February. Am I best jumping on this now, or might something better come up?
Wait for the 142 deals… Return
Over the past year, I think most of the amazing deals were mostly in the vicinity of typhoon season (Jun - Nov), with the odd sale ranging back to March. So if I was a betting man I wouldn't count on sub-150 return in February. Expect ~$210 at best.
You could have saved ~$20 a month ago…
You could have saved ~$20 a month ago…
SHUSH!
Between now and February? That is not much of a window of opportunity. If you intend to fly Cebu Pacific then I would grab it now.
OK, cheers
If you return 24 Feb or later there are a few cheap return legs for around $90.
i think the good old days of $160 return have gone.
