    any feedback on jetstar? ok ba sila?
    sila ang pinakamurang airfare na nakikita ko.
    jetstar yung ginamit namin when we went to australia for a vacation last year. ok naman yung flight namin kasi pag long haul...A330 naman ang plane na gamit nila at hindi yung mga maliliit na A320. but if you'll be flying from pinas, i'm assuming you'll be stopping over dito sa sg? pag ganun, mejo tiis muna sa A320 plane from pinas to sg tapos from sg to oz, ok ka na sa A330. pero yun nga, as it's a budget airline, no food and IFE. actually, meron palang IFE pero it's not free to use. kelangan magbayad muna kung gusto mo gamitin. for the food, pwede mo na din bilhin when you're booking online para may reserved nang food syo agad. :)
    sa IT nakalagay na stopover e sa Darwin wait ng mga 3-4hrs, tpos deretso na sa Sydney...
    kinakabahan lang ako kasi kasama ko na anak ko... baka pag nagkaproblema mahirap kasi may kasamang bata... haaayyy hirap ng immigrant na pulubi huhuhu..

    hi guys, question lang...
    kasi nung pumunta ako dito sa AU last Sep.... nag-avail ako ng first time migrant sa PAL...
    tapos uwi ako nxt yr, sunduin ko pamilya ko...

    pagpunta naming pamilya pabalik dito sa AU, balak ko sa IOM kumuha ng ticket, so Qantas ang airline nila diba?
    pede pa ba ako mag-avail ng first time migrant kahit naka-avail nako sa PAL dati?
    o yung mag-ina ko na lang pede maka-avail nito?
    mahirap kasi baka magkahiwalay pa kami ng eroplano pag nagseperate booking pa kami..

    sino na naka-experience nito? tia
    up ko lang ulit tong tanong ko baka may makakasagot...

    at saan makakabili ng balikbayan box :D

    By the way nakita ko yung link na pinost ni @psychoboy sa Air Asia, mura yung base fare ng Air Asia ang medyo masakit sa kanila nga lang e yung additional baggage...parang 9k yung fare one way pero +4k para sa baggage...pero bukod dun I find the other perks (in flight entertainment, comfort kit and food) affordable :)

    IOM bookings are for qantas only, so yes. but unfortunately, u can't anymore avail the excess luggage bec u're not considered as 1st time migrant anymore since u've availed it already when u 1st entered AU. 2nd time migrant na tawag sa 'yo. ;D yes, ur mag-iina pwede to avail the 23+23 kilos for check-in sa qantas. as per ur problem sa separation of flights, bakit di ka na lang din magpa book sa qantas, same flight?

    i see...so kahit dumerecho ka sa airline or via travel agent at nag-avail ka ng first time migrant...iinform nila ang IOM nun? so talagang di ka na makakaulit? hehehe

    @hotshot via qantas direct booking or travel agent, either way, u still can't. SOP di ba nila, when u want to avail the excess kilos, is ask for ur passport & visa? if u've entered AU after ur visa grant date, then wala na ang priviledge as 1st time migrant. proofs are ur stamped dates on ur passport, NAIA & AU airport. i made an inquiry on qantas direct. mas mahal ang ticket sa direct kesa sa IOM, afair, mga P3k yata, basts mahal. i just don't know w/ agents.

    isa pa, di ko rin alam if u're using another visa (business or whatever) to enter AU when at the same time u've been granted a PR visa already, if on ur next trip u will still be given a priviledge. IMO, logical, i think so but u will only have to tell the booking ofc that u're on a business visa & not on a PR visa, esp a PR visa is no longer stamped on the passport.

    incidentally, siguro kami yata ung last batch na nagkaroon ng PR visa stamped on the passport.

    i see...noted. napapaisip nga kami ng wife ko...baka mag-budget airline na lang kami. yung Scoot kasi ang mura talaga from SG to Sydney. sinubukan ko magbook online, tapos sagad ang baggage sa 40kg each at pre-book ng food....lumalabas around 900 SGD lang...dalawa na kami. then kung piliin ko din yung nice seats na maluwag leg room...papatak sa under 1.1K SGD lang. good deal na din. hehehe esep esep... :)

    @hotshot after some tedious months of the application & waiting for the PR, i thought it's all over. actually, all grantees are off to more daunting tasks; airlines & sked, finances, place to live, finding job, just a few. correct, every detail has to be thought over & over & over...nakakasira na rin ng ulo. hehehe!

    May bad experience ako sa Jetstar - I booked online as early as 7 January from Darwin to Manila (direct flight) for our 29 March flight para di na kami mag-overnight sa Darwin but after two weeks, tinawgan ako at sabi cancelled daw ang flight namin, so I have to re-book my flight from Darwin-SG-Manila at may waiting time sa SG na 5 hours. Other than that, the next available flight will be the next day upon arriving in Darwin. So bukod sa nasayang na araw namin dapat sa Pinas e gumastos pa kami for our hotel. I filed a complaint sa website nila at nagpadala pa ako ng letter pero wala ring nangyari.

    @icebreaker1928, kung may kasama kang toddler hassle talaga. Siguro maganda rin kumuha ka ng comprehensive travel insurance to cover yung mga expenses due to delays/cancellations, etc. Although hindi ko pa nasusubukan kung beneficial nga ang kumuha ng travel insurance. I just got one for our December trip para in case na magroon ng bulilyaso e pwede ako maka claim sa insurance.

    I hope may makapag share dito ng experience nila in getting travel insurance. Cheers!
