manila to london
hi chaps and chapesses,
annabel's apointment at embassy tomorrow, not wishing to put the hoax on it but i started looking for a booking one way from manila to london ....singapore air wont hold a ticket and obviously i dont want to buy one untill we know the result... my usual travel agents trailfinders told me it was £1200 but on the web it was £500 they told me it was because they dont get a discount from that end but earlier in the yr they got me a return originating from manila for £500....mmmmm anyone got any ideas
thanks

... I'll start the ball rolling ....
I assume she'll need some time to pack, sort out her affairs, so
December 15th ... flights
Manila via Kuwait £276 one way
Manila via Abu Dhabi £291 one way
both via Asda Travel (part of the supermarket group)
Have booked via them before... always trouble-free

Hello Jonathan. How did Annabel's made her appointment? Is it through online or by phone? I am planning to call tomorrow to make an appointment, but i am hoping they have other number for a non pldt/smart, bayantel subscribers. Goodluck to you both. I am nervous as hell! But there's no turning back, i just paid the visa fee earlier today.

If you book direct with kuwait airlines for that date you can get it for $403.91. Using xe.com that comes out at £243.05 but it depends on the exchange rate you get.
(found using www.kayak.co.uk)

.... will have to remember that "wheeze" next time I book.
However, Kuwait Air is a dry airline, which does lose some of it's appeal to me !
FYI ... Jonathan .... the flight Manila - (via Abu Dhabi) - London
is the best option, as only about 1 1/2 hrs in transit in Abu Dhabi.No man is an island, but Barry is

If that is with etihad then worth trying direct with the airline again... $452.00 (maybe £271.58)
In the past I would have never booked direct with airlines as it was too costly, but now it often comes out the same or even cheaper. Plus you may get a bit more protection booking direct with the airline.

Mind if I ask which part of Siquijor she is from Jonathan?Larena?Maria?Lazi?
Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

I know loads of people from Siquijor,I am from england but first went to Siquijor 20 years ago when there were no tarmac roads and not one single car on the entire island,there were only four resorts,Dondeezcos,coco grove,kiwi dive,and paradise beach at salagdoong,I have been there 12-15 times,I was there earlier this year actually,cool place but beware the mananangals

There was a couple of Japanese divers drown there a few years ago I remember the guy from Kiwi Dive telling me,theres a fish sanctuary to the left of Larena,the beach near the cemetary,done loads of snorkelling around there,never seen anything of size though,lots of sea-snakes and suchlikes,There are several Siquijodnons here in the UK
Dont believe the magic,its superstitious nonesense,nothing more,nothing less,ask your lady about Holy Week and the potions concocted in San AntonioBeen to watch them a few times,even saw Jesus Butalid and his incredible dancing dolls but its all fakery and mumbo jumbo,draws a few tourists in though
