Dave, I assume your fiance has done the CFO thing and gotten the stamp in the passport as well? Thats more important than anything else. Without that CFO stamp she wont be allowed boarding.

To be honest, I would go for one-way. You can book with Cathay Pacific online from your home BUT, and this is a big BUT, you will have to fulfil certain security details, as I found out (and I'm sure this will apply to other airlines). Basically if you buy a ticket for travel from Manila, and you are NOT present for the flight, you will need to verify your credit card used for booking.

It would be much easier to send the money to your fiance and let her book the flight.

Suggestions for routes:
Cathay: Manila - London via Hong Kong
Qatar: Manila - London or Manchester via Doha
Singapore: Manila - London OR Manchester via Singapore Changi
Emirates: Manila - London Gatwick, Birmingham, Manchester via Dubai
Gulf Air: Manila - London via Bahrain, Oman and/or Abu Dhabi (or in my case all 3!&#33
PAL codeshare with Qatar
