I guess, expedia.com has cheaper tickets than cheapoair.com or cheaptickets.com... I do the booking/reservation for my husband every time he comes here to visit me. And recently (he's coming here on Saturday :luv: , I purchased ticket online thru expedia.com--round trip is for $1200+ only!

thanks for the reply. their prices are cheaper indeed. do they accept international based credit cards that have a billing address here in PI?

I guess yes, they do accept but from certain countries outside US only (that's what I've read)... I don't know what countries are these... You may check on their website...

expedia is ok, my fiance has tried them before.. pero since ikaw yong gagamit ng ticket, why not try scouting for ticket prices from local travel agencies, madami mas mura compared to online prices (even compared to expedia or vayama or travelocity) and since papasok na september, may mga nag-offers na for first time immigrant travelers, you might be able to avail it plus when you book through local agents, kasama na sa price nila yong Philippine Travel tax na P1620. Just my 2cents worth.

Good luck sa interview. :thumbs:

The ticket prices from EXPEDIA does not include travel taxes? We tried to book PAL tickets through expedia. Did not read the full terms and conditions though.. :P

I promise to love you in good times and in bad, with all I have to give and all that I am, in the only way I know how -- completely and forever......

It does includes travel taxes but NOT the additional Philippine travel tax imposed by the good 'ole Philippine government on its citizens. Here's the phil travel tax info: http://www.philtourism.gov.ph/ttax.html
