Nagbook ako 2 weeks ago:
Manila-singapore-adelaide(Singapore airlines economy 1way) May 22, 2015.
2 adults, 1 child. 30kg each. Us$1,540.
Dahil walang direct flight to ADL from MNL, Gusto ni misis hatiin yung flight time equally as much as possible para may pahinga(5hrs nga e..) At saka comfort & good service was prioritized rather than price.
Kung tipid talaga pwede siguro Cebpac to SYD, then connect to ADL. Or Jetstar to SIN, then connect to ADL.

I availed 2airport shuttle service. Total of $43 frm airport to St.Leonards suburbs. Dun sa mismo bahay na ako binaba. Life saver for me na solo traveller with heavy bags. I pre paid in their site thru paypal.
Downside is di kami agad nagkita nun driver. Wala pa kasi ako local sim na pwede pang tawag sa kanya. 2hrs dn kasi ako late dahil haba pila immigration. He was supposed yo meet me at mcdo area nun airport. Bumalk pa sya ng van nya.
Buti may wifi sa airport. I messaged my friend to call their hotline.
