Hello,

Can anyone suggest the best airline or travel agency for booking a flight to the Philippines in 2013?
Is booking in advance better to get the best deal?

Thanks.

We generally have a look around but more often than not stick with

Is booking in advance better to get the best deal?

I doubt if there are any special deals as far ahead as 2013 - I'd assume they only start doing decent prices when they realise the seats aren't filling as quickly as they want

Thanks for the reply.

I always book my flights from netflights and agoda find they sometimes have the best prices

Emirates prices are scandlous at the moment £1200 to manila? they can spin on it.

Hmm ... ... this is a thread that might be worth my while keeping an eye on from time to time, in order to get a rough of any decent flight deals available ... as my wife and I intend revisiting the Phils during 2013.

we booked our flights a good 11 months before we flew, and was so pleased with the price and the time we flew also

WooHoo Arthur, that sounds great.
My personal advice keep checking prices. I have a weekly record and watch trends have done for ages. Just for fun. Doesn't take long and is a good indicator.

Incidently, I've done the same for exhange rates (Peso/Dollar/Euro).

And I'll also be keeping a watchful eye on the exchange rates.

Best as in price.
People book early sometimes but it seems very expensive to do that now

with the tickets we brought in feb to fly out in dec we saved over £3000, yes we could have got differant times with the airline and not a chance i would have paid that amount too, but to fly out over xmas and new year for £555 with cathy i think was a very good price to pay, leave that amount in your bank for 11 months what intrest would you get

Ive booked 2 trips now up to 6 months in advance ,-flew with singapore airlines before for only around 450 euro,which is nearly half of what regular airfare is .Last year flew with Ba to hong kong and then took cebu pacific to manila -had a day in hong kong to explore on way home.
