Roger13 Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 http://www.philippineairlines.com/ On their above website, they quote: Bangkok / Manila / Bangkok Bht 17,050 Bangkok / Cebu / Bangkok Bht 30,465 Manila/ Cebu / Manila USD 107.00 So it would seem it is MUCH cheaper to buy the Cebu Leg in Manila? ... a saving of of about Bht 9,000 !!!!! Has anybody any experience in this matter ? I am currently in Bangalore - so it is not easy to contact the Airline or Bangkok travel Agent.

PeaceBlondie Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 I cancelled my october trip BKK=Manila=BKK, but the only cheap airline was Air France, about US$260, about 11,000 baht. I got the quote through Yahoo Travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ijustwannateach Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 Well, the Philippines ain't like Thailand where some of the "upper-end" stuff is cheaper than in Western countries- usually, it's likely to be MORE expensive. And there have been a number of scandals over the years about the high fares charged by PA and what happens to the cash. Basically, it's a major cash cow for some of the rich ol' crony gang there- especially if you happen to be a foreign who's assumed to be dripping with extra money. My advice would be to avoid using PA and use ANY other airline- I used to use Air Malaysia or Singapore- otherwise buy your tickets in country.

lopburi3 Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 As said above believe there are direct flights from Singapore to Cebu which would probably be the least expensive route (Bangkok-Singapore is deeply discounted by a number of airlines as well as discount carriers).
