Traveling to the US

[jamster0105 7]

Hello everyone,

My wife and child will be traveling to the US from the Philippines for the very first time this coming august. I have been searching fares online, and I am running into so many questions.

First is the fact that a lot of airlines won't let me buy online, due to the fact that I am not traveling with my wife. Most are saying "the persons name on the credit card must be one of the tickets passengers". Another issue is the fact that my wife is from the Philippines and I am concerned with her possibly transfering in another country, for an ongoing flight to the US. One such airline I had this problem was with Korean Airlines. It states on their websiste that all passengers wishing to use this airline from the Philippines must purchase the ticket in the Philippines, along with some kind of "transfer fee". I am not sure I want to go that route either.

I hope that someone here can give me advice on how to purchase my wife and babie's tickets so that they may have a smooth trip to the US without any problems. Thanks everyone I look forward to your feedback

Congrats! Maybe it would be easier, and i think a lot cheaper if u purchase the ticket in the philippines. I had a quote for a 500USD one way ticket from a travel agency last month (China Air, Manila to JFK) and i think the promo runs until August 31, 2009. Korean air was 750USD for one way, (plus travel tax of 1600 pesos). I got the korean air flight bec the stopover was shorter and based from experience they have better planes. I didn't pay any transfer fee anymore. Hope this helps. Take care

When I and my 2 months old baby travelled from the Philippines my hubby purchased our ticket online and he was in the US that time and we had no problem.You don't have to purchase the ticket in the Philippines. Just make sure that baby has his own ticket or if not has paid his travel tax.

Have a safe trip.

This is the site I found a very cheap ticket for my hubby a year ago. I've been strolling around with this site too since he might be coming over this September. Come'on, let's take a look.

When is she traveling? If she plans on travelling on the 6th of August. She might want to travel with me and xylide(vj friend) who has a baby as well. It would be easier for her to fly with companions, don't you think so? That is only if she is traveling on the 6th. We will be buying the ticket tomorrow or today in an agent. It's cheaper to get it in a travel agency than online. Good luck! Hope she can travel with us as well, that is through PAL or Cathay Pacific.

I was able to purchase a ticket with my credit card for my fiance on NWA with absolutely no problem.

Send HER some money and let HER buy the tickets.
