My fiance will be flying up from Davao for the medical and interview. she will be returning to Davao after medical since planning on taking it earlier than scheduled date. I know you have to allow two days for the medical. On the second day, are you usaully doe by noontime? trying to plan whether she could take 4pm back flight to Davao or best to wait till the next morning. any thoughts appreciated.

On the second day of the medical, it wont be a first come first served basis anymore. It really depends on how fast they process your medical records from the first day of the medical. On my own experience, I was there so early but I wasnt done until 2 pm. I was with a friend and we submitted our reciepts at the same time and she was done way earlier than me, like 10 am. I would suggest just having her fly back to Davao the next day to be sure, hope this helps.

Uggghh, tommorow would be the big day! A little nervous but quite confident, weve done our homework and hopefully Im gonna give you guys the first approval for Nov. God Bless the Manila Thread!

Jenn

according to my fiancee, eventhough the second day for the medical is not first come first serve, if you came early the day before, you are asked to come back the same time next day. his medical was done by 11 am. his flight back was for around 4 pm but he went to Cebu Pacific and changed it to the earlier one at 2 pm for a 100 pesos fee.

i think it's ok to book a flight for her to get back that second day...4 pm is reasonable but in case she runs a little late, she can always rebook for the later one...maybe 6 pm or 7 pm for a fee. i think PAL also has a 100 pesos rebooking fee.

it's just a thought...if she is in Manila by herself...she would probably hate to stay one more night in a hotel.

thanks! 4pm is the latest flight I could find out of Manila to Davao. Your right, she doesn't want to spend anymore time in Manila than she needs to. I let her decide which way she is most comfortable with.

Gee, waiting for the approval is like standing by the Delivery Room door, pacing back and forth, nervously waiting for the doctor to come out with the news that the baby has come out and mommy is safe and sound.
