gernaez

@goreo nakalimutan ko ilagay na sydney din kami.. dun muna kami sa lola ko ng 2 weeks habang looking for a place.. di kami pwede magtagal sa place nya kasi subsidize ng government yung flat nya..

goreo

@gernaez kami naman makikituloy muna sa friend namin while also looking for a place. sa may hornsby heights daw sila.. june 30 arrival namin.. hopefully makahanap agad tayo ng place to rent.. all the best!

gernaez

@goreo ngaun ko lang napansin timeline mo.. tagal na pala kau visa grant.. goodluck satin sa big move!

goreo

@rukiasan sa sydney ka rin ba? may matutuluyan ka na ba?

goreo

@gernaez thanks! goodluck satin! naway pagpalain tayong lahat sa decision nating mag move..

rukiasan

oo sa Sydney muna kami first settle..kasi more andun daw dami job vacancies ng husband ko.. he is working under Railway System Assurance ..ka sta-start pa lng nya mag job hunt online...

wla pa kami matutuluyan..we shall look nalng as the date nears, likely around April/May na...our flight is end of June pa naman unless a job offer comes earlier, we might adjust our plans accordingly.

@rukiasan sa sydney ka rin ba? may matutuluyan ka na ba?

girllash

@gorneo, sa pinsan namin kami makikituloy for one month lang, same reason as @gernaez

girllash

@rukiasan, apir! Hehe

gernaez

Meron bang kumuha ng cebu pacific na flight going to sydney?

girllash

@gernaez, kami kasi nagsale cebu pac.
2adults, 1 child, 30kg baggage each with 1 set of meal each. almost 26kpesos
Though we always fly with cebu pac, this is going to be our first 8-hour flight.
Nag inquire din kmi s IOM pero 75k, and check namin PAL, 40k++ yun total namin 3

gernaez

@girllash I had my initial entry last march 17 (unplanned - just need to attend on a project for 1 month).. I didnt expect that ceb pac flight will not have blanket.. i suggest bring your own blanket or you will end-up buying a PHP350 blanket just like me..

@gernaez @girllash

I’ve tried cebupac flight, although it’s Sydney-Manila…

I must say it was quite a pleasant experience, bago pa kasi yung eroplano, and the seats are relatively comfortable.. although of course without the perks of full-service airlines..

Ang maganda sa MNL-SYD flight, sa NAIA Terminal 3 so you could bring food, like rice meals or burgers from Jollibee, at least mas tipid and you wouldn’t need to buy the expensive (and sometimes not so good) airplane food..

Tama, just bring some blanket or anything to warm you up (12MN to 10AM kasi yung flight I believe), music and movies (just make sure its legit or erase it), and food and snacks and the 8hrs will seem just a short flight

gernaez

@girllash korek si @wizardofOz! Hindi ko din alam na pwede mgdala ng food pero napansin ko nga yung iba may dalang jollibee at pan de manila.. na-confirm ni @wizardofOz na pwede.. hehe.. sa ied ng family ko sa june, mgbabaon na lang kami.. hehe

girllash

Hi @gernaez @wizardofOz

May nabasa dn ako na review na malamig daw sa loob kaya need ang blanket haha
Pero since winter n yun june, naka-winter jacket n agad din dapat haha

Thanks sa tip mo re jollibee. Inisip ko kasi na baka pag flight bound for aus hindi pede. Cancel ko na lang meals namin pag nag add ng baggage kasi dami ko din nabasa na hindi daw masarap. 500pesos per meal din yun ha, equivalent ng isang bucket meal na haha

wizardofOz

@girllash @gernaez clarify ko lang na di ko pa na-try yung MNL-SYD flight, ang nasubukan ko pa lang is SYD-MNL...

As far as I know wala naman dapat problema magdala ng food sa airplane, specifically in cebupac.. For Australia, dapat ubusin nyo lang yung food at huwag i-pasok ng Oz... if ever may tira.. ipa-dispose na lang sa cabin crew kapag nag-collect na sila ng disposals..

Then yung sa drinks, doon na lang kayo bumili sa mga shops sa NAIA after the final security checks, yung malapit sa boarding area na... meron doon 25pesos na bottled water

Tama, mahal masyado yung food sa eroplano.. although during my SYD-MNL flight, medyo na-bore ako sa byahe kaya snack and pakape-kape ako sa flight hehe..

Another tip is magdala kayo ng extra cash in peso... often, mas mura ang price ng merchandise sa eroplano kung peso ang ibabayad kesa Aussie or US dollars

girllash

Thanks sa tips @wizardofOz
