Econolight does not apply to trans-pacific, Australia, Korea and Japan flights...so with this fare class, you enjoy full airline amenities...as far as I know, all other surcharges are already included in the fare...the only additional fees to be collected are those that will be collected in the airport...

My wife was searching for tickets from Houston - Manila for a trip in Nov 2009, since she wants to stay for over a year, she got a one way ticket price of $456 + $37 taxes & fees = $493 per person at cheaptickets.com
I think the price is cheap.


I tried to check From Knoxville TN to manila on Nov 2009
$815+ $39 taxes & fees =$854 per person
this is one way only.

 

Check cheaptickets.com today, for a flight from DC-Manila is
$566+ $37 taxes & fees =$603 per person.

American Airlines as well for a flight next month - cheaper.

 

WOW! That's a fantastic price!!!!

 

Be aware that you need a return- or onward ticket when entering the Philippines.
Some airlines are very strict on this immigration-rule and don't let you enter the flight unless you comply with this rule.

 

And be avare also, that the departure date on your return ticket or onward ticket must be within the period, that your visa is valid for or alternatively the lenght of your visafree stay in the Philippines.

As an example a european citizen who enters the country without a visa must have a return fligth or an onward flight within 21 days from her date of entry in the Philippines.

Often the immigration in Manila won`t ask to see your return or onward ticket, particularly if the stamps in your passport show, that you are a regular visitor in the country. And often the airlines won`t bother you with this rule either.

But to be on the safe side, first time visitors in particular should comply with it. Either by traveling on a return ticket, that can be rebooked after arrival in the Philippines, or by purchasing a cheap one-way "show ticket" with a local carrier such as Cebu Pacific or Philippine Airlines to a nearby destination, e.g. to Hong Kong.

As an example, a person planning to stay for 15 month in the Philippines might comply with the rule by traveling on a one way ticket to Manila and then have another one way ticket to Hong Kong with a travel date e.g. 14 days after arrival in Manila. The latter is the "show ticket" as its only purpose is to be able to show it to the airline and the immigration in Manila upon request.

A one way ticket to Hong Kong can be purchased for about 3.000 peso outside of the peak travel days, so its a fairly inexpensive "insurance" against a potentially serious problem.
