    Hello

    Best way to fly form Manila to Dumaguete ? Cebu Pacific seems to allow 20Kg 1 piece, but PAL seems to only allow 2 X 10 KG but is also much cheaper (for an Oct 2015 flight)
    I shall have over 10KG luggage in 1 bag.
    Any ideas ?

    I've found that, although PAL may be a bit cheaper, their website is crap. I could not change a web booking online, but had to call their centre in Manila (from Oman), so I no longer use them.

    I run into this quite a bit. I usually try to have a second bag to divide the weight up, as JP mentioned. Several US airliners do this silly nonsense as well....try traveling with tools and body armor.....carry-on not an option. I have had it happen a couple times where the weight could just not be under the limit. (I ask for the manager as soon as I walk up to the counter now. :shifty: "No....I'm not trying to hijack the plain." Note: never exclaim that you are not an idiot and then tell them how you would or would not do it. They have absolutely no sense of humor about that stuff. :rolleyes:)

    PAL is absolute crap, you cant change amend or add anything without calling

    i wanted to change dates for flight from HK to MNL, and before they would I HAD TO PAY philippine travel tax, yes I sent them my passport but it didnt change anything, still had to pay, was told I would get the 1660 pesos back at the airport ( what a load of bollix)

    then several times they changed flight times/days because of empty planes.........and im the one who has to shell out

    stay far far far away from PAL

    After being on this site for a week, Dumaguete has strong appeal for me. I have spoken to my gf about language issues and she now agrees she will be able to converse with little problem??? We are going to book after a North Luzon visit in April, then come to Dumaguete and extend the trip by 7 or 8 days. I know it is not a lot of time, but it will give us some feel of the place. I looked at fights and can get fight with Cebu Pacific for 3000P return from Manila with 20kg each, bargain!
