I had a quick look, those prices do seem quite reasonable with Saudi. As it happens I have a flight to Manila over Easter already booked with Saudi it wasn't much more that what's quoted there, which I thought was pretty good as Easter is a peak travelling period (but I did book it in July 2010).

You should take into account that the prices for Heathrow are generally cheaper than regional airports, but it's not always practical for many of us to fly from Heathrow - time to get there, cost of a taxi, cost of parking/overnight hotel...etc. Heathrow adds 2 and half hours each way and about £150 to my journey. I can get to Birmingham in less than 30 minutes and a taxi is only £30 EW. Both KLM and Emirates fly to the Far East from Birmingham and as long as they are no more than £100 dearer than a Heathrow flight, I'll always go with them.

Regarding your question about my next flight, I'm going with KLM from Birmingham/Amsterdam to Hong Kong for 2 weeks, it was £530, but on top of that I've also got onwards return flights with PAL from HK to Manila and Manila to P/Princesa which obviously adds a bit more.

Unless it's peak season £600 - £650 seems to be the going rate to Manila from Birmingham, but these prices go up to £800 - £1000 over Easter, Christmas and the July/Aug holiday periods.
