Malulugi ka sa baggage fee, kasi handcarry lng dapat ang dala mo. Tapos ang handcarry mo pa puro pagkain. Tatlong meal for the long flight hahahahah.
Haharangin ka sa boarder security immigration. Baka sabihin fugitive ka kasi wala kang dalang bagahe. hahahahahahah.

@sheep, in all fairness to that agency, bibihira kasi mabigyan ang mga kaso ng 475 visa sa atin it's usually skilled, student or tourist visa...can't expect them to know everything...kahit man tayo limitado ang alam sa lahat diba hehe

Booked our tickets last Thursday, Feb 9 through IOM. For 2 adults and 1 child: USD1125 + taxes (PHP 77,163.00). (Depending kung magkano USD exchange rate for the day). Manila to Sydney to Adelaide. Nagcheck muna po ako online kung magkano exchange rate then saka ako nag email sa IOM na send nila updated price at magbabayad na kami. Paid through China Bank and after ma scan at masend yung deposit slip to IOM, they emailed the e-tickets.
Best regards,
Arpi
