Airline: Qantas Departure: 28 May 2013 Destination: Sydney Baggage allowance: 40 kilograms Fare: PHP 26,510.60 (includes PH taxes)
I purchased my ticket from IOM and I think the advantage of purchasing from them is less hassle na kasi you can communicate with them by email tapos by bank deposit lang yung payment and then they send the e-ticket to your email na lang by the end of the day. And, of course, they offer the fix 40-kilogram baggage so wala ng kaba sa airport.
@xandra0228 iom qantas din po kami pero baggage allowance namin 46kg pero hiwalay dapat na tig 23kg...plus 10kg hand carry... check nyo po uli... sayang ang extra kilos :-D

40kilos na lng tlg ngayon, hindi na 46 hehe pati pre-purchased baggage super mahal na

@icebreaker1928 Ah. Nagbago na po ata kasi ng policy ang Qantas kaya 40 kilos na lang ngayon. Sayang nga lang yung extra 6 kilos pero at least more than the usual na 23 kilos pa rin yung nakuha ko.
@icebreaker1928 Hindi ko po alam kung kailan eh, pero yun po ang sabi ng mga taga-IOM. Yung isang kaibigan ko kasi na kumuha din ng ticket sa kanila last year, 46 kilos din ang nakuha na baggage eh.
stolich18Sydney Posts: 993Member Joined: Feb 15, 2012
Kahit ilang baggages daw as long as 40 kilos ung total weight. Unfortunately eto na nakuha ko kase late na ako nakabook ehehehe implemented sya pag nagbook ka after march 31 Ata :-(

When you book your ticket online; you will be prompted to select how much baggage allowance you want - you will see the price there...
Pwedeng pwede mag-stopover sa city; make sure you have sufficient time though as the airport is around 30 mins away by taxi from the city centre.

Guys, you may want to go direct sa airline offices and ask for student fares, if you're a student or immigrant fares for immigrants. Mas mura compared to regular fares.

Departure: 28 May 2013
Destination: Sydney
Baggage allowance: 40 kilograms
Fare: PHP 26,510.60 (includes PH taxes)
I purchased my ticket from IOM and I think the advantage of purchasing from them is less hassle na kasi you can communicate with them by email tapos by bank deposit lang yung payment and then they send the e-ticket to your email na lang by the end of the day. And, of course, they offer the fix 40-kilogram baggage so wala ng kaba sa airport.
