Philippine Airlines Booked for April...

[Longweekend]

I have just booked Heathrow to Manila return with Philippine Airlines for £588 per ticket, how nice with no stop over....:biggrin::biggrin:

[bigmarco]

:xxgrinning--00xx3: Nice one

[bhem_bhem]

that's nice..:xxgrinning--00xx3: how long the duration of the flight is? :smile:

[Longweekend]

The duration is 14.30 hours going and 15.05 coming back, must always have headwinds coming back....

[bhem_bhem]

not bad.. :smile::smile:

[Longweekend]

Yes, only drawback is the drive to London and car parking charges, much easier to get to Manchester for us but at least its direct so maybe that's the trade off.....

[bhem_bhem]

yeah.. hubby hates driving to london.. we'll probably go on plane or train if ever,, just have to book it earlier so we get it cheaper.

[Longweekend]

There are five of us so it mounts up....

[bhem_bhem]

yeah,, cost fortune.. by the time we are booking ours there will be 4 of us going..

[stevewool]

always compare car parking places , meet and greet and so on, you will be amazed at the price difference

[Longweekend]

Can you recommend any Steve?

[stevewool]

just google airport parking and loads will come up, park off the airport too they are the cheapest ,i have just put in next april for 3 weeks and 5 people in the car comes up with purple parking £73, look at APH

[tone]

I believe there is a way of hiring someone's driveway for a couple of weeks a mate of mine did it and it cost far less than airport parking..
I'll ping him tomorrow and ask.

That is very reasonable as it goes.

hubby always uses PURPLE PARKING :xxgrinning--00xx3::xxgrinning--00xx3: and he recommends them because their service is nice ... pick and drop you off in the airport .. no damage nor extra miles on the car

I think PAL will be a good choice for those living/going London/Manila if they don't live up to their Plane Always Late reputation.
From Cebu i think the best choice is still Cathay (still sub-700) and bypass Manila completely!!
I used to take KLM from Manila but they started stopping off in Taiwan now adding a couple of hours to the overall flight.

I tend to agree somewhat.....in and out of Clark is very limited now.....as is Davao.
I've done Davao a couple of time but Singapore Air to Davao is generally out of my price reach.....but by regular checking and a grabbing those promo's it's good for me

I looked at this when we went on a short cruise out of Southampton - moneywise it didn't stack up when you consider taxi/walking/bus/inconvenience compared with long term off site parking with shuttle bus offered by BCP through TopCashback website

Thanks Graham and enjoy mate. I have to admit I will miss going over there 2 or 3 times a year. But then again with these prices who knows.

[grahamw48]

After I was wed and brought her here, we still went over there for 3 months each year...more after her ILR came through, which didn't take as long in those days. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

so tight in fact that last time I dropped a pound coin I went down to pick it up and it hit me on the back of the head :biggrin:
