Airfare - Manila to Australia (One Way)

PLAC · May 2012

Hi! Just to share, i booked our tickets today through jetstar online. 2 adults + 2 kids, Sept 12, MLA-Singapore-Melbourne connecting flights, 25kls luggage each. Total paid is US$ 1,116.00.

k_mavs · May 2012

@PLAC Medyo mura na rin ata yung nakuha nyo sir. Magkano po yung adult at kids each?Di po kayo nag try sa IOM?

PLAC · May 2012

same price lang po adults and kids... US$ 196 ata yung base fare... add lang po ako addtl cost for the 25kgs baggage... medyo mahal po yung IOM.

nope, its MLA-SINGAPORE-MELBOURNE
wala syang kasamang food, but we have enough time in Singapore to have our dinner coz it will leave Changi airport at 9pm pa. So bale sleep talaga kami on board, and will arrive melbourne by 640am the next day...

Few cheap Jetstar flights coming up it seems.
My friend booked a return flight Syd-Darwin-Manila-Darwin-Sydney for only $447.
This is phenomenal price, even beating my November Jetstar rate by around $10.
I so wish I could go.

Ok po ba sa jetstar? Sana po may makapagbigay ng feedbacks about this airline. Mura nga yung mga fares nila as i have seen in their website. Yung murang rates nila di included yung meals dun diba?

Manila_Sunset_Store · May 2012

I can't understand Tagalog very much, but it seems you may be refering to meals.
No, Jetstar does not provide them as part of the deal, but you can pay offensively high prices to get them or drinks.
However - if your saving around $500 over PAL or Qantas, I'm happy to wait for Darwin each way :-)

hi guys, let's try our best to reply in English for our new member Manila_Sunset_Store. Let's make him feel at home here in pinoyau.info

@Manila_sunset_store : k_mavs was asking for feedback on Jetstar, as he saw in their websites that fares are fairly cheap. yup you're right on k_mavs' 2nd question, he was asking whether meals are in

LokiJr · May 2012

Jetstar is Qantas' low-budget airline so it's pretty credible

Offtopic: This is a pretty cheap 3D2N vacation to Sydney

Sorry.

I thought that @Manila_sunset_store is a filipino.

@LokiJr So i think that its also ok to avail of the services of this airline. Ang mura nag airfares nila. may makukuha ka nga na 200USD one way papuntang Oz. Ok na rin.

LokiJr · May 2012

Personally, I would not fly to Sydney via Darwin though...Para bang, I'm off to a different continent might as well stop over to Singapore or Hong Kong and have some fun too haha

mikai · May 2012

Hmmm same here @LokiJr, parang ayoko din dumaan sa Darwin, lalabas ka sa international airport nyan tas papasok sa domestic na airport, d rin ata sila nag cacater ng free na lipat ng baggage from int'l flights to domestic. dapat ikaw ang mag bitbit ng mga gamit sa pag lipat ng airport.

tinitingnan namin cathay, been flying with them ever since basta international, maganda ang plane nila, tig isa ang tv. hehe plus meron silang discount sa mga first time migrants + additional baggage allowance, pwedeng icheck in through sydney ang baggage from manila.

LokiJr · May 2012

Mga magkano ang rates pag Cathay? Medyo bias kasi ako sa MLA - SG - SYD na ruta kasi mas maganda tumambay sa Singapore hehehe

Had to book a customer on an emergency flight yesterday.
Cheapest was QANTAS at $890 return, although would rather have gone on PAL for an extra $50. Strange thing is that PAL won't let you book same day, where as QANTAS will.
The ironic thing is that Jetstar was far more expensive than both on the days he needed.
Pays to shop around thats for sure.

raycel · June 2012

try singapore airline too..or my friend suggested too..to use airphil or tiger airs from PH to Singapore then from Singapore there are lots of budget airlines going to Perths.

LokiJr · June 2012

Pag last minute booking talagang mahal noh hehe...may nakasubok na po ba sa inyo ng Scoot?

aldousnow · June 2012

Perth to Philippines / Indonesia / SG mas mura sya kesa sa Perth to Melbourne.
Kaya depende din kung saan kayong part ng Australia pupunta.

LokiJr · June 2012

@aldousnow Pinas then dadaan Singapore at Indonesia bago mag Australia? Di ba kakapagod yun?

aldousnow · June 2012

@LokiJr What I mean is.
Perth -> Philippines
Perth -> Indonesia
Perth -> SG

lahat yan mas mura kaysa
Perth -> Melbourne

apc · June 2012

Meron po bang naka try ng jetstar MNL-Darwin-Brisbane? Kelangan ba dumaan ng immigration sa Darwin? Gaano katagal mag clear ng immigration at customs sa Darwin? Nakalagay kasi sa ticket namin eh dun sa Brisbane domestic airport mag land flight namin. So does it mean we have to collect our luggage at Darwin and check-in again?

Kumusta pala yung flight shedule ng Jetstar? on time ba sila or palaging delayed from Manila?

LokiJr · June 2012

@aldousnow ahhhh direct flight...oo mas mura nga siya pansin ko hehe...astig din kasi yung may stop over para na ring libreng bakasyon hehe

@apc, jetstar carries the Qantas brand (in a way) so hindi yan basta basta nadedelay....pero dahil palpak yung airports natin, lahat ng eroplano (saan mang bansa siya galing) nadedelay pag galing Pinas hehehe

macaraeg_mj · July 2012

Reply to @aldousnow: san po pwede kontakin yung IOM may address po ba kayo or phone number?

hotshot · July 2012

tanong ko lang po....talaga po bang mas mura magbook ng one-way ticket to oz via IOM? nakalagay kasi dun sa visa grant letter...pag thru IOM magbook...meron daw "special reduced one-way economy fare" at "more generous baggage allowance". meron na po ba dito na nakasubok na?

sipareko · July 2012

got a tip from a friend in AU -
http://www.santraphael.com/home.php

they do offer low fares for immigrants. pwede rin sila makausap online.

Silhouette · July 2012

ako po nagpabook via qantas, special rate daw for 1st time immigrants yung binigay sa akin so yung 2 adults, 1 child, 1 infant costs 93k, manila to cairns queensland, stop over sa brisbane. Sa iba kong nakita na rate, the fare for that route costs 100k+

LokiJr · July 2012

Reply to @hotshot: yun po kasi talaga trabaho ng IOM...non profit org sila tapos layunin talaga nilang tumulong sa mga first time migrants...

kaya kahit may mga mas tempting na promo ang ibang airlines, yung sa IOM na privilege, lagi lang andyan yan kasi matagal na yung arrangement nila sa mga airline companies hehe

hotshot · July 2012

Reply to @LokiJr: kelangan po ba talaga dumaan thru IOM? or pwede ako basta lumapit sa mga major airlines tapos sabihin ko lang na immigrant ako...tapos automatic nang bibigyan ako ng special rate at baggage allowance?
