    @LokiJr - I assume you will come from Manila right? No direct flight from Clarke to Australia - lipad ka muna from Clarke to Kuala Lumpur and from there you will switch to a bigger plane. This will take you direct na to Australia... :)

    For me, the trip going there was okey... As mentioned nga, this was an evening flight so natulog nalang ako after taking off... :) Pero it is not so comfortable I tell you... :)

    @pjecuacion : mas mura parin po talaga ata ang budget airlines (lalo na kung promo fare) kaysa IOM rates for legacy airlines. yun nga lang, mas comfortable talaga sa mga legacy airlines. :)

    Sir, I believe the air tickets being sold by IOM are those of legacy carriers (i.e. PAL, Qantas, Cathay Pacific, Malaysian Airlines, etc) whereas ang Air Asia naman ay isang budget airline... :)

    Hope this helps!

    @KTP yup pwedeng balikbayan boxes. ganun din ang gagamitin namin kasi mahal nga naman pag bibili ka pa ng sangkatutak na maleta kahit pa na sale mo sya nabili mabigat pa din sa bulsa. just make sure to use a good duct tape (which is really expensive mga P600 per roll) to secure the sides and the bottom oof course.

    @pjecuacion definitely yes but i don't think you can avail of the 40kg baggage alowance. maybe yes but they will charge you extra for that. kung ma-charge kayo baka nga pumareho lang un sa rate ng IOM. again, this is hypothetical. i maybe wrong though. :)

    The moment you said that seats in Air Asia are like Cebu Pac's...sinabi ko na sa sarili ko ayoko na...kahit gaano pa kalaki ang matitipid mo hehe...kung minalas kang maupo sa maingay na bata or medyo magalaw na katabi....have a nice trip na lang haha...

    But kidding aside, kung hindi naman big deal yung price, I would suggest taking your first flight to Australia through IOM. Hindi lang kasi parang travel agency sila...tumutulong talaga sila sa mga migrants :)

    Ahahha, I feel you there!! :)

    It just dawned to me right; try to purchase nalang talaga a good seat in a legacy airline. I mean, come on, only once lang yung initial entry mo to Australia as a PR - might as well make the experience going there great diba?

    I remembered when I first entered Singapore in 2008 as an employee, pinaghandaan ko talaga ang flight ko. Kahit double than the price ng Cebu Pacific, I opted to buy Singapore Airlines para nice ang pagdating ko...

    This is just me talking though... :) It is up to you guys to agree or disagree with my thinking, eehehehe! :P

    @psychoboy Singapore Air! hay kung mayaman lang ako yan lagi ko pipiliin hehe...nasa top 10 sila lagi sa Best Airline Rankings :) Nasa top 10 din yung Cathay, Turkish Airlines at Qantas :)

    Dun sa isang tanong mo, sa dami ng budget airlines na naglipana ngayon, I'm sure marami nang mas mura sa IOM...pero may POEA function kasi yung IOM so in the event na may mangyaring hindi maganda sayo (i.e. naipit sa giyera, minaltrato ng employer etc) puwede ka nilang tulungan.

    I guess not all the time. Yung IOM hindi naman bumibili ng promo tickets sa Qantas so there should be times when buying from the site will be cheaper hehe

    @psychoboy i don't think bibigyan ka ng ganun kalaking discount pag dumirekta ka sa Qantas. bukod pa un sa 40kg baggage allowance. kaya nga nag-IOM na lng ako eh. but you can always try to inquire at their makati booking office though. no harm in trying. :-D

    Best thing about IOM, is the 40kg allowance. Max of 46kg pa yan. 23kg per luggage. Sa Qantas 20kg lang max of 23kg, 1 bag lang.

    Hi guys,

    Advise ko lang sa IOM na kayo kumuha ng ticket dahil na rin sa 40kg per passenger allowance. Malaking bagay iyon. At before you go to the airport, make sure na natimbang nyo maigi ang baggages nyo. Balikbayan boxes are ok dahil yan din ang ginamit namin. Pwedeng sumobra ng kahit 1~2 kg yata pero depende dun sa counter officer sa airport, merong mabait meron namang gusto mangotong lang. Kapag sobra sa timbang be prepared na magbayad kesa mag-open ulit ng boxes at magbawas, malaking hassle.

    In my experience, sobra-sobra talaga yung dala naming boxes dahil 2 yung kids namin, kaya yung halimaw na nasa counter, tinataga kami ng husto at gusto kaming singilin ng $1,000+. Inabot ng mahigit 1 hour ang negotiation namin at pumayag ng $500 lang bayaran ko. Pero isusumpa mo talaga sya dahil humihingi ako ng official receipt dahil pwede ko namang -reimburse sa company ko, ang gusto nya lang ilagay sa receipt e $120! Alam nyo na kung saan mapupunta yung $380. Hindi na ko nakipag argue dahil sobra-sobrang stress na yung inabot namin. Kaya para dun sa mga first timer, mag ingat na lang kayo. Naalala ko, parang "Flores" ang surname nung kumag na yun, hindi ko lang alam kung andyan pa sya at nambibiktima pa rin.

    Good luck!

    @LokiJr mas mura ang additional baggage kapag kumuha ka during booking or ticketting. Pero kapag nasa airport counter ka na, alam ko it ranges from $25 to $35 per kg ang rate ng mga airlines (not sure though).
