Flight? Ohh that I don't have any idea. You can probably check depends on what airplane you would like or where. I heard that plane straight to Cebu is more expensive than to Manila. Its up to you. yeah lucky, maybe they grant my visa because they made the decission i think a day before my husbands birthday. Just provide everything that may help them grant the visa and everything need so they won't have to ask for more. In case they (the people assessing your papers) thinks you need to supply more papers, they will contact you and asked you for more. But its better that you provide everything so you save time and makes their processing fast.
We even provide letters from my husbands friend who i met personally, from my husbands parents. The cards that they sent me.
Good luck by the way.
