I am having my girl check various websites from the PI like www.mobissimo.com, www.kayak.com, www.sidestep.com and also the websites of various airlines.

she is also checking with the local travel agent looking for the best fares, it maybe worth asking some times they offer immigration fares.

flying and buying from the US, the best fares I have found my last few trips to the PI is on mobissimo.

good luck and congrads!

Be careful when you'll book online.Danny had a bad experince when he booked me ( prepaid) last month on cheapo. After the ticket was printed out, he was overcharged with $150 and was so mad at them. He called their office and demanded a cancellation and a refund. He had me purchased my ticket here instead directly at Northwest office and i guess we got a fair price.

Whoever says you can't love someone online is a fool. I love you DUKE !!!

Purchase your tickets directly on the airline's website. My husband has been using www.evaair.com for the past 3 years. I have looked at hot e-fare section and so far the lowest price I could find for my daughter and me totals to $978.60 one way trip to Los Angeles with one-hour stop at Taipei. I have looked at PAL and it will cost us $1,278.80 to fly direct to LA, no stops.
