Wow...some good deals there Peter. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Gawd knows who wrote their 'intro' though. :NoNo:

Reads like a Nigerian email. :icon_lol:

'The Philippian capital is indisputably an appealing and stimulating city among the Asian cities. This city tenders an amalgamated blend of ethnicity, superior sights, a surfeit of places to gaze, and a treasured experience that you can cherish with our cheapest flight deals.


A major boon for a vacation in Manila with cheap flights to Manila Philippines is the city’s vivacity during the day as well as during the night. With past reminiscences of war, Manila’s arms are spread open to the throbbing tourists that get fascinated not only by its past but also by the plenteous places of attraction - theaters, museums, libraries and other interesting places including entertaining scenic spots too. '

Any 'throbbing tourists' amongst us ? :Erm: :laugher:

Well spotted Graham, I didn't notice that :laugher::laugher:

I'm also very keen on those 'plenteous places of attraction' :icon_lol:
Wonder if there's a connection ? :icon_rolleyes:

That one for £442 wasn't there earlier. :Erm:

Crystal does appear to offer savings on flights compared to booking direct with the airline. For example, Cathay Pacific (
http://www.cathaypacific.com/cpa/en_GB/homepage?CX_FCN=CXHOME0_CountryChange )
cheapest Economy flights from London Heathrow to Manila during April / May are around 666 GBP, compared to Crystal at 645. It’s beyond my budget, but for interest Business Class is around 3,248 , over 200 more than Crystal – but still up to 5 X Economy Class !


A forum member recently was honest enough to tell us she was scammed by an online travel agent ( http://filipinaroses.com/showthread.php/44588-Paid-ticket-and-i-ve-been-scammed-!?highlight= ).


This – and the dodgy article on the Crystal site about the Philippines – makes me cautious. I have booked direct with the airline – KLM and recently Cathay Pacific – on flights to the Philippines over the past three years, with no problems.



I’m no travel expert. May I ask if any members had recent experience of Crystal in particular ? Some of their offers appear too good to be true !

I think you'll find that Crystal Travel have been a fully bonded TA for many years.
There are plenteous forum members who have / are using Crystal.
Make a quick search to verify.

Doc i have booked with crystal for the last 5yrs & never ever had a problem
I always book through a very nice filipina whose name is cherry

I booked a flight with crystal only 2 weeks ago & had the e tickets emailed to me instantly
The next day i phoned cathay to confirm & sure enough the seats were confirmed & booke

[robbie bobby]

I have travelled the world many times over and if there is anything i have learned its always book with the airline direct whatever.travel agents tickets have way less benefits and an airline will always try to help you more if you booked with them direct for changes etc

[Doc Alan]

Thanks Peter, Stevie and robbie bobby :xxgrinning--00xx3:
I did search before posting, but as always it's recent experience which is most valuable :smile:.

There are some much better deals to be had for business than that price. That's more or less what I paid last month with Emirates, but that was first class from London to Dubai each way and then business class from Dubai to Manila each way.

Thanks admin for your sincere advice.

Crystal travel.. I have also booked a number of times using your services over the years with no problems.. We always spoke to Charrie??
If you pay the modest advertising fees here and perhaps purchase a banner then Im sure it would be fine to offer our members some special deals from time to time..
To be honest..I cant think of a better internet portal than right here..1000`s of members that may wish to use your services in the future.
Have a chat with Admin (http://filipinaroses.com/sendmessage.php) and see how they can help you!

Cheers,
Fred.

hey people, not sure if this helps any ones travel needs but ive used an agent a few times just booked for november, heathrow too hong kong then too cebu, with cathay, i went on cathays site which too be honest has beaten some agents prices in past and the prices were this time quite high so i went on travel up site and got again a better deal saving 250, and with better times and connections which werent visible on cathays site, so maybe good for others too they are friendly staff and also have dug around too suit my costs before.
