    Just wanted to share this: I got my budget for our airfare July 28 so I booked for a flight on July 29. Went to a travel agency because they said it will be cheaper for this immediate cases to book thru them. We got Malaysian Airlines for Php23k+/person. It had one 12-hr layover at KL before Perth. It had 30kg and 10kg/person plus corresponding meals.
