Booked my ticket to Manila on November 28th, paid £485, would be £475 but i used credit card.
Really happy with that price, paid around the same with Cathay back in September and a bit more with Singapore in June.
In March i paid over £600 with Etihad. Things do get cheaper it seems, but saying that this ticket was over £700 when i was looking several weeks ago for the same dates, so booking close to departure
can pay off, if your brave enough.
