Short term rental - Meycauayan, Bulacan

Oman Air, prices from £428 to £503 at the moment ex Manchester to Manila for next February, they subcontract to Etihad and China Air

I am not sure what you mean by subcontract Michael? Do you mean connecting flights? Oman Air from twice daily from LHR to Muscat then a second flight Muscat to Manila. They are a very good airline and nothing to do with Ethiad or China Air. The LHR/MCT/MNL service has very good connections - less than 2 hours each way (which is a good amount of time to stretch your legs and get a snack). I used to live part time in Muscat Oman. Top airline.

Air China are the cheapest at the moment. Approx £350 return, although I did see flights pre Xmas going for £320. Next cheapest is probably China Southern.

Hello folks. I am planning on returning to the Philippines in February and I want to stay for about a month. It's unsure if my girlfriend is going to be able to get time of work so I want to be as close to her and her family as possible, which means staying in Meycauayan, Bulacan. I don't think there are many hotels there, if any, so I am thinking of renting a flat for a month or so. Has anyone got any experience in doing this and/or can recommend anywhere. Thanks.

Another option would be to compensate her, if she can take time off work. By that I mean, pay her for what she loses from not working for a week or so. This means you can explore more of the Philippines together instead of staying in some industrialized city for the entirety. I think the average wage is only about £35 per week.

I've done this myself with my ex who lived in the next province north of Bulacan in a similar kind of city.

I do that every time she takes time off work to be with me, I don't want her to be without as she is the main provide for her household. However I just don't think her management will let her take anymore leave. She had a week off to see me in February and 2 weeks in July. She has just managed to get another 2 weeks off for another trip here in September but that was really hard to get management to approve it. They were all snooty when she asked and said she should probably just quit her job. We are hoping that if she works really hard over Christmas and has good sales they won't mind her taking time off, but even then it's only 2 weeks when I want to be there for 4 so she'll have to be close to work then. Even I couldn't get time off work for her second trip here. Well I could but had to take unpaid and can only afford to do that for 1 week. Grrr!!

By subcontract means that such as Etihad or any other airline sell a number of seats to Oman at an arranged price in order help fill the aircraft, for instance when I've flown with Qatar I've sat next to someone who's booked with British Airways or Qantas

That's called code share Michael, and it must have been a long time ago as Qantas now Code Share with Emirates. When booking your flight have a look at the flight number and that will tell you which airline you're flying with.
Also, if you can pre book your seats, put your flight details into seatguru.com and that will give you the seat configuration and the best seat choice

Thank you for the correct title, sub contract is a transport industry term, but has just the same meaning

I've never heard of this codesharing business. Seems dodgy to me (I'm sure its legal, just annoying). I hate it when they deliberately overbook flights.
