Hi all

I am hoping to sponsor my filipina to visit me here in the next few weeks (....H.O permitting of course&#33 .

I visited the Phils to see my GF, (filipina),in Dec 05 & flew with Gulf air.

Considering it was the Christmas holiday/vacation period the fare/ taxes ,etc, where about 520 GBP which I thought wasn&#39;t too bad.

This time however the only fares I can find from people like klm ,qatar,.....are double and treble in some cases.

I looked at gulf air&#39; website and the are much the same.

Also,I noticed last trip that there were spare empty both ways.

Would be grateful if someone could make some sense of this &#39;cos London to Manila at the moment are around 350 GBP.

Any commrnts would be appreciated. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif[/img]
