    Booking flights for 2013

    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.

    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 ... ... this is a thread that might be worth my while keeping an eye on from time to time, in order to get a rough of any decent flight deals available ... as my wife and I intend revisiting the Phils during 2013.

    WooHoo Arthur, that sounds great.
    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).

    And I'll also be keeping a watchful eye on the exchange rates.

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

    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
