Short term rental - Meycauayan, Bulacan

That would be the perfect price. The flights back and forth and the expense is what creases me with this long distance thing. Well, that and being away from the one I love the most in this world.



To each his own. I couldn't be mothers with either of those things, not straight away.

Wait till the heat hits you. You may think differently!

Yes, their seats are quite good. Bigger than most (esp. Virgn/BA/old Emirates 777s) and as much space as the new A380s from Emirates (but Oman Air fly A330s).

That sounds ideal. I'll definitely be able to relax a bit on those. I'm never comfortable on flights but if I can reduce the uncomfortability a bit then that's a bonus.

Flights are cheaper now than say five years ago. In the current climate I'd be looking to pay no more than £500 and I'm quite confident I could get a fare with one of the better airlines for that price. That's Heathrow to Manila by the way which usually is the cheapest route.

The most I've paid is £630 (June 2012) but I left the booking too late. Cheapest was £375 last November.

Wow, wish I could find them that cheap. How far in advance are you booking? I git one for £500 when booking in November for Feb travel but since then I've been paying £1000 with 2 months to the flight. I asked to use my air miles for a discount and so they knocked off £12. Pfft!!!

Haha, I don't do well in the heat when I'm there but I'm not as bad as I thought I would be. It was funny watching my fiancé here in July. It was a good, hot day in London, 25 degrees and she's saying she's too cold, haha. It was her first time away from the Philippines though. Next month I'm taking her to Scotland...she won't know what hit her.

Between two to four months in advance. That price of £1000 is common only around Xmas & New Year. You shouldn't be paying anywhere near that if you're travelling at any other time although Easter is usually more expensive.

I wonder why I got shafted then? Is there any Muslim holidays around September which would account for the high prices? Although now I think about it all the cheap seats had been taken and I had to get a flexi option, which made it more expensive. I could find cheaper flights but it meant her arriving a day later and having a longer flight. I'd rather lay the extra £100 and have an extra night together.

Nothing to do with Muslim holidays. Who did you book with?

Direct with Etihad both times. Search through places like Expedia and both were the same price.

If you did book with Etihad I suppose it could be to do with Muslim holidays. Not too hot on this topic. Sorry I didn't realise who you booked with.

I've never seen good prices with Expedia and rarely when booking direct with an airline. Best to check Skyscanner and PIC first, as in my experience, they are the cheapest.
