Hi, i am new here and never traveled in SE Asia ...planning a trip and trying to determine the best as in safe but budget minded airline to make this leg of my trip Bangkok to Davao philipines. searching turned up an old thread so any advice welcome...many thanks

Ok, related question the best price I can get from the US for this leg is about 600US would I do better buying the ticket from an agent there? I hope someone can answer...

I will be doing this flight for the first time within the next 24 hrs., and returning about 1 week hence. I am flying Cebu Pacific. It seems that only they and Phillipine Airlines fly Bangkok - Manila - Davao. Prices on the two airlines are very similar, though PAL is more "upfront" about their pricing. Cebu Pacific quotes a much lower price, though when you go to book it, and add on the extra surcharges, it adds up to be the same as PAL's shich I presume (!) to be an all inclusive quotation. Going from memory, I think I am paying about 14,000 baht for a round-trip flight.

thank you for replying, so that is less then I am finding and I assume you bought the ticket in Bangkok?
