Thanks guys some great info.. I will book my flight the end of the month. I am restricted to flying from birmingham. As from a earlier post I made I did get stung once from a company that went bust. Thats why I am a bit wary now. I used crystal travel last time with no problems but you know what it is like we all look for cheaper options. Skyscanner is £696 at the moment. I need to get to manila for 11.10am so that i can get my connecting flight.
