    Booked

    Well its done, £577 for each of us flying out December 30th, back January 29th.

    Booked with Cathay Pacific, times are great too.

    Leave Manchester at 12 noon, arrive in Manila on 31st at 11am.
    Coming back, leave Manila 20.50pm and arrive Manchester at 06.20 am.

    I am happy with the price and the times too. It would have been nice to go a few days early, but cant have everything.

    Even better, we have just provisionally booked it, and pay before 2pm tomorrow. So we have time to really REALLY think about where we are staying as well.

    That's a great deal given it's with Cathay.

    Sort of price I saw back in January, but when I went to book a couple of weeks later, it had gone up to over £800. So I would definitely book it now if you can.

    That's a very good price for seats on a quality carrier. Well done and happy hols.
    Let me know your Bohol Schedule later down the line. It might be a good opportunity for a get together with a shared friend in Bohol

    Bloke at work just booked PAL for the end of this month, £700 but had to go a few days later than planned as they only fly a few times a week from Heathrow.

    I'll only be there early Nov til early Dec, unless I decide to extend for another month and live in a cardboard box or similar...perhaps grow a beard and work as Father Christmas in the MOA.

    Hopefully I'll be going over early next year. Going for several weeks between November and March breaks up the British winter and makes it shorter.

    We've not planned Christmas yet, will probably be last minute booking. However, we are flying out there tonight for 10 days Virgin to Hong Kong then PAL to Manila (using my airmiles - still cost lots with all the taxes and fuel surcharges).
