Cebu Pacific! Cheap and cheerful, their sales aren't that frequent, and tend to have VERY limited seats on each date. Please do not crucify me if one of the links below is more expensive when you try it - try another date around it instead. They do tend to sell out fast and it's been on since last night, but I couldn't post until now.

It includes 7kg carry-on and I gather that's it - everything else on board costs. But it is very cheap.

If looking in Q1/Q2, it's worth looking at the China Southern deal to Tokyo.

I also have an article on the top 5 most popular hotels in Tokyo for under $120.

      And an airline!

      Like American (Airlines and denonym) or British, or Lion (airline and animal) or RyanAir (both an airline and a manifestation of a nightmare).

          Yes, note how I said denonym.

            @realaccount627465746:

            you learned something today, congratulations.

            That Cebu is a city, but is not an airline?

            I already knew that.

            If you look at the edit history, you will see the Rep has now corrected the name…

              @jv: Cebu is both a city an an airline. It's incorporated as Cebu Air, their press releases refer to it as CEB most of the time (that's the stock code), it operates as Cebu Pacific (or on their planes, cebu pacific). Much like American, Delta, Qantas are all shorter forms of their full name. I've not changed the title, but adjusted the description to avoid confusing anyone who might think it somehow refers to a flying city. For reference, when you see flight deals for Virgin, that's also an airline.

                @beatthatflight:

                operates under the trade name "Cebu Pacific Air"

                Thanks for the clarification. I myself, like JV, have a social and mental disability and frankly a tad lonely, thought that this was indeed a flying city.

  • snoopydoop on 10/12/2024 - 12:10

    Are these direct flights from melb?

      No, sorry, as per title, via Manila.

      • Wolfy on 10/12/2024 - 12:40

        Which is why I'm not tempted to purchase tickets, no matter the discounted price.

      • snoopydoop on 10/12/2024 - 13:40

        Oops thanks! Was looking in the description but forgot to read title haha

    Would absolutely give CebPac a wide birth.

    Their Airbuses are configured for 400+ passengers. The seats do not recline. And NAIA is hell on earth for transiting.

    And not for that price anyway.

      Considering you can get the Chinese airlines for not much more and they include meals and drinks and usually a good checked in baggage allowance of 23kgx2, I'm not sure why you'd choose the cramped a330s of Cebu for a transit flight.

      I've transited through China using the old transit visa system and although it was the 5 minute process, it still wasn't bad. Manila airport isn’t that great and with the new airport only a few years away I doubt its going to get any better.

      Another helpful hint with these carriers is they don't just serve Tokyo, so you can always look at say start and ending your trip at another regional airport like Niigata for something a bit different.

      I think Cebu are only good value for trips to Manila, other destinations prices are just to close to the competition.

      'Pre-reclined' seats apparently - from what I've learnt about my upcoming A330 flight to Manila in December.

      But for $1000 cheaper than the next closest competitor in the Christmas Period (when I was booking at least), I think I'll live.

    • The J man on 10/12/2024 - 19:24

      We won't ever fly with them again no matter the price.

      It's all well and good until something goes wrong on their end, expect zero assistance.

      It includes 7kg carry-on and I gather that's it - everything else on board costs.

      This is correct.

    I clicked on two of the Sydney links and the cheapest flights it showed was over $700.

    Travel time is always a killer with these cheap deals.

    Is arashiyama bamboo forest worth a visit if you have young teenagers? I was told to go early during the weekdays to avoid crowded tourists. How much is the entry fee?

    • Associatedbeatthatflight @ Beat That Flight on 10/12/2024 - 14:44

      I don't recall the entry fee, but the town you walk through is really peaceful and not overly hectic. In addition if you walk across the river and up the hill, there's the Monkey Park. Just be careful of your pockets! (from the monkeys, not the people).

      edit: that's because it's free. https://www.jrailpass.com/blog/arashiyama-bamboo-forest

      The monkey park was 500 yen 2 years ago apparently, which is about AU$5.

    • dtc on 10/12/2024 - 14:58

      Its a shortish path surrounded by bamboo, takes about 5 min to walk from one end to the other if it isnt crowded. Pretty enough but it gets very packed from about 10am with tour groups, so go early. If you want a much quieter albeit smaller/shorter bamboo path there is one at Kodai-ji Temple, just next to Kiyomizudera, that gives you pretty much the same experience with far far fewer people.

      Teens will likely enjoy: hiking up Fushimi Inari (go more than 2 minutes up the hill - go 30 - 45 min+ up), Sanjūsangen-dō (temple - albeit this is only a 20-30 min site), Arashiyama area as a whole (even if the bamboo grove is packed) such as the monkey hill, Nishiki Market, Nijo castle, Kawaramachi shopping area. Maybe the gardens being Heian Shrine (if they dont mind Japanese gardens).

      • freeb1e4me on 10/12/2024 - 20:03

        Thanks that sounds like a plan.

        There’s so many temples to see in Kyoto. Is it worth seeing them all. Surely once you’ve seen one the rest are pretty much the same right?

        • dtc on 11/12/2024 - 14:13

          they are different but the same…I used to tell my kids 'if you dont behave we will go to another temple' (also note the difference between temples vs shrines, FWIW)

          I think the ones to see are: Kiyomizudera, Kodai-ji Temple (just next door so pop in on your walk down the hill) and Kinkakuji (but it get very very packed). . And, as mentioned, Sanjūsangen-dō and Fushimi Inari. All of these bar Sanjūsangen-dō and Kodaji are the main tourist ones, but for a reason. Just be prepared for the crowds

          Ginkakuji, Honen-in and Nanzenji are also worth a visit but not as high priority. Chionin has nice gardens. These ones dont attract the crowds anywhere near as much
