I always wanted to be in Phils for Xmas but was resigned to the fact it was too expensive and travelling in January would be cheaper. Now it appears not!
I couldn't book anything before now because the money I was waiting many months for has now only just been received and cleared in my bank. With that knowledge I decided to look for a flight in January but there doesnt seem to be anything under the 6-700 price mark like there was about a week ago (Qatar Airlines for about £400). The only thing available and affordable for me seems to be for the 8th December otherwise it seems I have to wait until February or March and even that is more expensive than I 1st thought it would be. Is it possible I can receive flight ticket in time? I dont have my own debit/credit card so am relying on friend but chances are even he cant get here til Tuesday which is almost certainly too late. Can I get pesos and american express cheques sorted out in time?
The agent I intend booking with is [URL="http://www.flydeals.co.uk[/URL] Has anybody used these before? Are they reliable? Maybe I can collect flight ticket in London?
Sorry if I'm sounding a bit thick but I've never booked a flight ticket before and it all seems a bit daunting the 1st time. Having to put in return dates etc seems pointless as I dont even know when I'm returning. I just want open date return but putting in random dates for the sake of it always seems to alter cheapest price grrrr. Can anyone give me any search tips for future reference please? I have tried the search features on this and other forums for advice info but it always seems to be taken for granted I know how to search and book a flight lol. I even went into the local Thomson travel agents last week and was quoted £4000+ to travel in January, apparently this doesnt even get lower later in the year with them, jeez.
Sorry it's long winded but I'm desperate for any advice. Thanks.
