    Yes cathay. May 19K ako sa cathay, tapos may almost 20K ata ako sa Credit card miles na papaconvert ko pa to either Asia or Kris Flyer. hehehe
    mas maganda ata sa asia miles na para mag-combine yung 20K miles na papaconvert nyo at yung 19k na existing na. :)

    btw, kelan na ang planned na lipad nyo? :)

    @hotshot as far as i know kasama ang Qantas sa Asia Miles.
    yup, Qantas is a partner/affiliate airline sa Asia Miles (through Oneworld group) pero Cathay talaga ang owner ng Asia Miles sa pagkakaalam ko. the same way as Krisflyer is owned by Singapore airlines pero may partner airlines din sila (through Star Alliance). :)

    @LokiJr yap, but that was before. it's now 23+23 for BAGGAGE ALLOWANCE: 2 BAGS. (checked-in). CARRY ON BAGGAGE- INTERNATIONAL ALL DESTINATIONS ECONOMY: 1 PIECE 7KG. oh wait, there's more! added to that carry on baggage, i had a backpack weighing about 5-7 kilos which should weigh only for 3 kilos. abusado ako much. :D

    wala sa ticket stating for first time migrants u are allowed 2 bags & 23kgs each. alam na sa qantas counter un. & believe me, during my flight, napakaluwag ng staff sa weight ko. icebreaker knows my story. my tactic pa nga ako ginawa to make use of the baggage allowance. hahahah! quits na lang siguro kami ng qantas. given another chance i will fly qantas again. very smooth ang transaction.

    @icebreaker1928 @kenkoy thanks sa reply guys. Nagpabook kc kmi sa
    Agency sabi pag first time migrants daw nirrequest lang daw ung additional 23kgs sa qantas at naapproved nman. Ung sa ticket eh nakalagay na 23kgs lng tpos iaattached ung approval dun sa nirequest na 23 kgs. Kaya ask ko if ganito din sa IOM kasi mas mura ang tickets sa agency eh ng halos 6K direct flight din. Same sched sa inooffer ng IOM.

    Thanks!

    how much is the ticket at the agency?

    make sure of the additional baggage allowance of 23 kilos. i read somewhere, (i forgot where at ano airline, basta last year) sa agency sya nagpa book. when the emigrant was at the airport, he was not quoted as new migrant by the agency thou requested din. so the airline charged him extra dollars for the kilos. no choice except to pay. pa stipulate mo sa ticket mo ang additional. black&white better. huwag kang aalis na wala, better call qantas direct & pa explain mo sa call center agent ano provisions ng ticket mo.

    Sabi nila may ung request letter daw ibbalik ng qantas at may approval dun sa additional 23kgs. Iaattach daw un sa ticket. Pero twagan ko din ang qantas for confirmation. Thanks

    @icebreaker1928 no need. kent madacros of IOM is accommodating enough to answer all queries, phone, text or email. teka lang, ice, hindi ka na entitled jan ha. ung mag-ina mo na lang. pero ask mo pa rin si kent, baka makalusot ka. :-$ :D

    @faye, cheaper nga by P1.5 pero rates are based on season din at kung kelan ka nag bayad/book at flight date mo. the closer the date ur flight is, the more pricey na sya. thanks!
