anu yang IOM na yang travel tours agency ba yan? kung travel yan puede pa yan pero kung organization walang kinalaman yan sa pamasahe. mas maganda mag research ka sa internet napaka dali lang maghanap ka ng travel tours agency sa pinas search ka sa google. pag may nahanap ka na site may nakalagay dun what date ka pupunta sa australia. then lalabas dun kung anu mga schedule at kung anung air company ang sasakyan mo. nakalagay na dun kung magkakano ang air fare. mas makaka mura ka kapag 3 to 5 months ang schedule ng flight mo at kung direct flight mas mahal. may mura naman kaso mga 2 days or 3 days bago ka makarating sa Australia. Check mo mabuti ang date at oras military time ang gamit nila. i think mas mura ang malaysian brunei philippines airline. kung walang site tumawag ka na lang sa knila. cheers

@aolee I've seen discussions din regarding IOM sa other forum. Can anyone share experiences with booking a ticket with IOM to Australia? From what I understand 1 of the main reasons they get plane tickets from them is the baggage allowance of 40kg. But paano kaya ang procedures? I visited the site pero medyo nakakalito. Help anyone?

@totoyozresident, sir IOM yung non-profit organization na tumutulong sa mga migrants kahit saang parte ng mundo...kung may sakuna sa isang bansa, tumutulong din sila sa relief missions ... Kasama sa trabaho nila magbigay ng discounted air fare para sa first time migrants Yun ang alam ko ang di ko alam kung yung rates pa rin nila yung pinaka mura hehe
LokiJrQuezon City Posts: 2,616Member, Moderator Joined: Jan 13, 2011

Hi po! May kaibigan ako paalis na ng Sydney, ang sabi sa akin Php28,000 daw ang one way fare na provided ng IOM...40kg din ang limit...
I guess other alternative dyan, if you are coming from pinas and your budget conscious. Try mo mag budget airline from Pinas going to Singapore. Then from singapore try budget airline din (Jetstar airways) going to Australia. Just visit their website para sa promotions. Yun nga lang the catch is since travelling ka sa budget airline budget din ang service nun. Its up to you to decide if its worth it and comfortable ka. Remember long hours din ang flight going to australia.
Hi po, makikitanong lang po kung magkano na ngayon ang biyahe papunta Australia na one-way...nag-iipon na kasi ako hehe.
Ang alam ko po kasi mura raw sa IOM?
bonziMelbourne Posts: 67Member Joined: Mar 15, 2011
kung manggagaling ng singapore, ang cheapest airline na hinde budget ay Emirates. 550SGD un one way ticket, plus 30KG baggage allowance. mas maganda pa un plane nila kesa sa qantas!
LokiJrQuezon City Posts: 2,616Member, Moderator Joined: Jan 13, 2011
wala po bang philippines to australia route ang Emirates?
Balita ko po mura rin yung tiger airways kaso di ako sigurado kung lumilipad sila from manila
bonziMelbourne Posts: 67Member Joined: Mar 15, 2011
di ko sure kung me emirates from manila. di ko alam if me flight ang tiger from manila to OZ. medyo hassle rin kse mag budget airline pag mahabang biyahe eh. masikip un seats, unless petite ka. hehe magabang nlng kyo ng promo ng PAL or Qantas, eto lng ata un me direct flights to OZ. meron SQ pero me stop sa singapore
LokiJrQuezon City Posts: 2,616Member, Moderator Joined: Jan 13, 2011
ay nga pala...mga ganyang budget airlines kasama ba ang meals dun? hehe nasanay na kasi ako sa Sing Air at PAL na may pagkain lagi
Well, try to check promo fares. Last Dec 2009 yung airfare is USD600 round trip na! so mga USD300 lang yon one way.
Meron din mga promos yung ibang travel agencies for first time migrants eh. Ang alam ko USD405 yung pa-australia via Cathay Pacific.
@LokiJr pag promo fare, walang pagkain! hahaha! pag regular fare meron.

well tyempuhan lang ang promo. kung di kasama ang pagkain sa promo means magbabayad ka ng meals okay na rin yun kung sakali $50 per meals tipid pa rin sa pamasahe. usually naman ang direct flight it takes more or less less than10 hours manila to sydney or other state. cheers

@katlin924 and totoyozresident, aw shucks I guess kailangan ko rin pala icheck kung kasama ang pagkain sa fare hehe...kung mahaba haba ang biyahe siyempre kailangan medyo kumportable ka naman hehehe :P
bonziMelbourne Posts: 67Member Joined: Mar 15, 2011
fyi lng po...ang one way fare sa hinde budget airline ay hinde half ng roundtrip fare, parang mga 60-80 percent sya ngfull fare. kase un ticket ko before 750 ang roundtrip then 500+ ang one way.
LokiJrQuezon City Posts: 2,616Member, Moderator Joined: Jan 13, 2011
hi bonzi...anong airline ang 500 na yan saka anong year siya? may marerecommend ka ba?
@LokiJr abang abang ka lang ng promo fares sa PAL.. or pwede din sa AirAsia pero via SG ka or KL.

@bonzi, thanks lagi bang mas maraming promo kung manggagaling singapore?
bonziMelbourne Posts: 67Member Joined: Mar 15, 2011
i think oo. pero if nasa manila ka, less hassle kung direct flight. nagpopromo din naman ang PAL at qantas e
LokiJrQuezon City Posts: 2,616Member, Moderator Joined: Jan 13, 2011
Ito nga mainit na balita, may balak daw na budget airline ang Qantas na based sa Singapore...di pa nila nirerelease pero mukhang ok ang promo rito....:D
hi ask klang po....sa mga katulad kpong first time lalabas,kung direct flight from manila to sydney mahal po ba ang pagkuha ng tiket? pwede po ba online ang pagkuha thru credit card or sa mga travel tours ka kukuha? pag budget ba na airlines comportable ba ang pagsakay dyan especially na long hours ang flight..?
