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

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

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

Hmm ... :rolleyes: ... this is a thread that might be worth my while keeping an eye on from time to time, in order to get a rough :idea: 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. :Jump:
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).

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

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:rolleyes:
