Since you'll be coming from Manila, magbaon kayo ng maraming food that you can eat in the plane (e.g. bili ka ng food sa Jollibee NAIA3)... just make sure you consume everything before entering Australia, or declare it...
Dala rin kayo ng maraming forms of entertainment, like books, movies, music, or toys if you have kids... as we know wala namang on-board entertainment sa mga low-cost airlines... medyo nakakainip yung byahe kung mag-isa mo lang, pero since overnight ang flight from Manila to Sydney... most likely itutulog nyo na lang yun..

-Lodged 18Sep15..
-Lodged our PMV 17Sep15.
1.)Is it safe to buy ticket now for November flight using Cebu Pacific? mejo mura pa kasi kung ngaun bibilhin.
2.)Is return ticket a must?
3.)How many months usually ang TV grant. ( I selected 3 months sa application)
Thanks very much!!

Return ticket is helpful.
They usually grant 3 months. You should have applied for multiple entry, 3 months stay in OZ for one year pag multiple entry tourist visa.
I think kaya medyo matagal ang tourist visa mo kasi may application ka na for PMV. But they might grant that soon. Buying a ticket is not so good idea until you have your TV.
I hope these will help.
