Flights

[Leo]

Hello just to let people know just back from the Philippines flew with Turkish Airlines from Birmingham good price and flight times I found the flights very good and good value for money I have just booked Emirates for next year Birmingham to Clark £458 return 2 hour waite each way I think it is a very good price

Shey and Charleigh flew into Clark on Friday with Emirates, they seem to be doing some decent deals at the moment. I'm going next month, but haven't decided which airline yet. It'll either be Emirates or Cathay and definitely flying into Clark and avoiding Manila like the plague

Doesn't the Emirates flight to Clark go via Cebu ? What happens at Cebu... stay on the plane ?

Yep, you have to stay on the plane for the hour or so that you're on the ground. Then a quick 50 minute flight on to Clark.

Ah...ok, thanks for clarifying Simon.

Yep Unfortunately my dopey other half doesn't realise this and got scammed by the taxi driver

I told her to either get a metered cab or agree a price before leaving the airport. What did she do.... paid P900, her excuse was she was tired from the flight. She's a local, she should be the last person to get scammed over there

I can very highly recommend Grab Taxi.

Here's a link:-

We use them all the time.
The drivers and cars are all top quality.

They are a few Peso more expensive but the cars are all new, GBS fitted and you'll know the price before you agree the booking.

Thanks for the link, I've just downloaded the app

I wonder if they operate in Angeles

When I first went to live in Angeles there wasn't a taxi service at all (supposedly seen off by the trike and jeepney mafia). I think they first appeared late 90s... 'Simpsons' ones.
