    @sohc, dati pa nga rin nag inquire na rin kami sa Malaysian airlines, ganyan nga airfare rate nila P20k per passenger pang economy class...for us to calculate yung budget for initial entry, if ever for family of 4. Tiger Airways din tsaka Jetstar recommend ng friend ko.

    How about the reverse - Australia to Manila . . .
    I've read in the news na mas murang bumili ng flights outside Australia. Sa mga umuuwi papunta ng pinas, have you ever tried booking a flight thru a filipino travel agency? Anung feedback?

    @David Sir mas mataas ang agency compared online mga 1.5k to 5k up or book via phone mas mura. Yung sakin parang reverse na din kasi nag international call ako sa Malaysia call center to book our flights gamit skype.

    May website kaya sila? kc parang hindi ako comfortable na hinihingi yung credit card details ko via phone pag magbabayad, lalo na kung international. Dito parang hindi ko napapansin na mataas yung rates ng agency compare kung nagbook ka sa mismong airline, di kaya dun sila kumikita, binu-book ng au agency sa labas tapos yung difference is their profit.

    Hello mates!

    I just want to share.. I called IOM (International Organization for Migration) to inquire about the discounted fare. Here's an excerpt from the email they've sent.

    For new migrants going to Australia with skilled migration visa or any permanent visa, IOM offers discounted fares and concessional baggage allowance via Qantas.

    Please note that you can avail of IOM concessional fares and baggage allowance for the travel booked through IOM. Please also note that IOM MANILA assists with one-way travel to the immigration country. This means that we cannot assist with any return trip.

    Airfare for Adults USD415 + PHP9,500 taxes, for Children USD295 + PHP9,500 taxes, and for Infants USD37 + PHP9,500. Taxes are inclusive of all Airline taxes and Philippine travel tax.

    Payment of tickets, in peso cash only, is to be deposited at any China Bank branch account of IOM.

    Baggage allowance: 40 kgs. per Adult and Child (in 2 bags of 20 kgs. each bag or 30kgs-10kgs variation as long as it does not exceed the maximum weight per luggage 32kgs). Infants are only allotted 10kgs baggage allowance.


    Not bad?

    Hindi ba mas mura yata yun nabasa ko na previous posts na Malaysian Airlines, Jetstar, etc? Or advantage sa IOM is the 40kg baggage allowance? Best option ba talaga is IOM? :)

    based on my online research, the cheapest is MALAYSIAN airlines. Enroll at ENRICH flyer (counterpart of PAL's mabuhay miles) and you'll get free 1000 miles.

    @aldousnow, sbe nila last quarter ng 2013 daw. :)

    @Bryann, parang di okay ang CebuPac pag 8hrs ang flight. Mejo maliit kse yung plane nila so di sya ganon ka-comfortable. :( Pero pag 3-4hrs lang ang flight, bearable pa. :p
