    Travel Bookings

    Now being honest, the reason why I am asking is to put up the relevant ads on the site so I can make a few quid to help with the costs, they pay a massive £5 regardless of how much each flight costs

    But as it costs a few hundred a year to run this site, every little helps.

    A footie site i go to does the same and they also have for example an amazon link, they did also have a link where for anyone who linked though to the google pack thingy though the site the owner got 2 dollars i think it was. Like your self no one minded as he was running out of his pocket. He was not even in the IT/web industry had a normal 9-5 job so meant it took him time to sort bits ou around his regular comittments.

    I shop around a lot, and the last couple of times I went directly to Qatar and SIA respectively.
    Don't use the big booking companies at all.
    I prefer SIA, but as I am married I am looking after the pennies now, so it will have to be Qatar again....
    Which incidentally they have flights from Manchester now at £407 return inclusive. at the moment....

    The Wife Giving about 320 hours notice normal rings up the trycycle driver who they normally use we let him have a quic kip and feed him up with what ever in the tupperware on the day (if its dried fish i pop out for half an hour)

    We then set off and arrive 320 hour ish later alittle tired and sometimes we stop off at a jolibee along the way.

    Im not sure if he is on the net yet i think his in-trycycle iphone is still on order and waiting for smart and globe to battle it out who gets the rights for phill and i doubt he give you 500 pesos per booking possibly he will buy you a sm

    He prefers jobs to and from laguna and nothing south of the visayas after 11 pm.

    We shop around now, but have used either a local travel agent, not thomas cook or co-op etc as they have been too heavy on the old commission front, or we have also purchased flights direct from Emirates this can be cheaper than the travel agent if the ticket is for yourself, but almost impossible if it is for your fiancee and using a credit card on-line. Personally Keith I do not mind if there are a lot more adverts in here, as long as the site is free :-) Thanks for keeping this going Keith and Merry Christmas & A Prosperous New Year To All

    Hi Pennybarry,

    Can you give me the first name of the owner of TRAVELUTION , so I call call him personally about booking flights to Manila then bringing back my wife so we're both on the same flights back to the UK together . This is very important for both of us.

    With the owner of TRAVELUTION being married to a filipina Im sure he'll understand the importance of this
