thanks hanny! i have called several travel agencies and they won't give me the discount because k1 is non-immigrant :angry: . i have already booked a flight to a travel agency but i did not tell her i'm on k1 so she might retract the discount when I tell her i'm on K1 so now i'm looking for other agencies but unfortunately they won't give me discount....oh well

Hi jas :). I used a travel agency when I went over here. I wasn't given the discount because the agent told me that K-1 is not considered an immigrant. I just don't know if it was really true though :(. Tinamad na akong maghanap ng iba :)

hi, my travel agent tried to get din a 1st time immigrant discount for me pero PAL did not allow it kasi k-1 is technically non-immigrant daw. it depends on the airline ata, not on the travel agency. eh i really wanted PAL so hindi na ko nagpahanap ng iba. as konswelo, ipunin ko nalang daw mabuhay miles hehe. goodluck on your ticket hunting! :luv:
