1. Photocopy or actual credit card used for the online purchase(s).
2. Photocopy or original photo ID of the credit card holder.
Hi filbrit
Thank you for your advice
1. Photocopy or actual credit card used for the online purchase
I paid for the ticket over the phone
2. Photocopy or original photo ID of the credit card holder.
Not all visa/debit card holders here in the UK have a photo of themselves their cards
In my case I don't have a photo of myself on my visa/debit card
Regards
Louis & Olivia

Just scan in or make a photcopy of the card you used to buy the ticket.
A photcopy or scan of the photo page of your passport should keep them happy, in the absence of another form of 'photo ID'.
All this has to do with money-laundering/fraud/anti-terrorist regulations etc. It's no big deal. Nobody is trying to steal your ID. Just go along with their little rules.
Upload them into your PC and send them off to your lady. She prints them out. Job done.

Hi Louis
As Graham said, just go along with their little rules. .luck or as it now seems unlucky for me, my wife wasn't asked for such proof.
The next hoop of fire you got to jump through is luggage. ..namely keeping within luggage allowance. .most other countries allow a small margin of being over weight, this does not apply in the Philippines. ..believe you me, the Philippine airport authorities have turn't it into a nice little earner.
If they can extract even more of your hard earned, they will. Make sure you weigh your bags before leaving for the the airport.

For security reasons, the following are required upon check-in or ticket reissuance,
failure to produce these documents may result in denied boarding:
1. Photocopy or actual credit card used for the online purchase(s).
2. Photocopy or original photo ID of the credit card holder.
I have complied with your very helpful advice with a copy of my passport photo ID and copies of my visa/debit transactions with the receipt to show that I am the one who paid for the flight ticket
I hope this is all in good order?
Thank you
With kind regards
Louis & Olivia

I don't know why people from the Philippines get so patriotic about it?
The two times I have been there
Two hours power cut every day, and sometimes in the evenings too.
We talk over the internet in yahoo messenger, if we are lucky? We might go about 5 minutes before we are cut off again and again.
Scorching heat all day long, in the mid 90's
and not much cooler in the nights, around the 80's
The rain, that is another thing, it don't rain like it does here.
It comes down like sheets, flooding everywhere and if your plumbing is not working properly, then God help you, because no one else can.
Yes you have to be either tough or stupid to live and survive over there, believe me it helps.
I thought it was an absolutes hell-hole and that is putting it mildly, and I was so glad to get out of it.
It reminds me of that song, 'There Is A Rose In Spanish Haarlem'?
That is exactly how I see, and feel about Olivia
I want to take that rose out of there and watch her grow over here in our UK gardens.
Of course, the UK is not perfect, we have a lot of problems over here, but least I feel we do have a chance to make our lives a little bit better then those poor so and so over there have.
We speak over the phone a lot.
One bit of good news for all those who call the Philippines 'Virgin Media allow me to call up to 250 minutes per month with an extra £5 added to my bill.

That description of the Phils is a partial list of why I love the place.
It IS a third world country.
Personally I love its craziness and the challenges involved in living there, despite the annoyances that us mollycoddled Westerners sometimes experience.

Come on Louis...let's be nice. .I would imagine the westerners that are partial to the place is because they have the option that when the novelty wears thin, they can revert to normality on a whim.I remember us staying in our dream paradise in a remote part of Bicol..we were there 3 weeks. .it was sure good to get to a kfc in Manila.

Come on Louis, don't sit on the fence, say what you really feel.
I think you been talking to my wife Louis. .that's how she views it well, maybe just us westerners.
I didn't realise it was as much as £20...worth bearing that in mind. ..I'll award you with a rep for that.
Cheers.

Don't be so damned insulting.
You've been given an enormous amount of help and advice by total strangers on this forum, out of the goodness of their hearts.
Also, probably half of the membership are Filipinos, and now you start insulting their country.
This attitude of yours doesn't bode well for your marriage to a FILIPINA.
I also hope she's got brains to make up for your evident shortfall in that department.

Very well said Graham
Louis, i find your comments disrespectful and arrogant. If your attitude was like that when you visited the Philippines i am surprised that anybody even gave you the time of day.
Yes there are some problems in the Philippines but the good points far outweigh the bad in my opinion. No electricity for 2 hours. Wow what a major problem!
Some things you see in the Philippines are similar to what you might have seen 50 years ago in the UK. Neighbors who actually talk to each other and help when they can. Is that a bad thing?
Some of the friendliest and most hospitable people in the world are found in the Philippines.

Means we have to do a push up to calm us down
I think you know exactly what it means? If not you can use the search function and someone who is much more articulate than myself will explain the process.
Sorry to hear about your girlfriend. You can always come and live in the hell-hole like some of us have chosen to do. Its not that bad. Honest!
