Hi Rob,
would it be worth my while booking from London to Hong Kong return, then from Hong Kong to Cebu return or would it work out just the same if you were just booking the normal route of London - Cebu.

Does anyone know who is the cheapest website to book a flight to Cebu at the moment?

To be honest, I've never flown to Cebu from UK, so I wouldn't know about the routing options (apart from London- Manila then Manila to Cebu). Maybe someone else would know?

This is what I normally do - I get a return UK to Hong Kong, then I go to my friendly local travel agent in Hong Kong Aero HKG and he gets me a Hong Kong to Manila or Cebu for less than £100 return with either Cebu Pacific, PAL or Cathay Pacific. Cebu Pacific are always cheaper.

I just checked now, and Singapore Airlines also fly to Cebu, so theres another option for you.

I get all my flights from Travel4Less part of lastminute.com they always come out cheapest. Expedia as well have some good deals, but you have to shop around. Also try cheapflights.co.uk, they dont actually sell flights, just list best prices on the destination you choose.

If I were going to Cebu I would follow WalesRob suggestion of routing via Hong Kong rather than fly to Manila, collect luggage, clear customs and change terminals

Hong Kong airport is vastly superior to Manila -

The advantages are

Better place to wait between flights
No luggage handling for you
CX flights usually on time !!

Cebu then becomes your entry point in PI - it has fewer flights than Manila so less likely to be busy so you will clear the airport faster

Good luck
