Travel Agent in ph-HELP pls!

[JSVP08 3]

hi everyone!

so am going home to ph soon and we haven't purchase ticket on line to US. we decided that i book/pay the ticket myself via cash- we also considered a lot of not-so-good stories of ticket related bought through SO's cc such as possible rejection at the ph airport, or issues about whose cc was it used ...since i still have 20 days in ph before our target date to fly to US, hence, the decision to buy it myself. We have choosen EVA air. I have called them in their Ayala office and i was advised to purchase via travel agent as its more expensive buying direct to the airlne.

I haven't been in ph for the last 3 yrs and neither do i use travel agents when travelling before so pls ...need your help .Can u recommend any travel agent based in Cubao or Manila area?

btw, i know i can walk around cubao and manila or read ads on newspaper but its best to buy from the first hand experience and/or travel agents you guys have dealt with.

thank you so much and bless everyone

Why dont you try PAL? How much is the fare difference between PAL and other carrier? I just bought my mom a one-way ticket today from PAL, and it cost $736 (including tax). Its a 12hr direct flight. I called PAL Reservation 855-8888 and booked her on Oct 15, Will pick up the ticket tomorrow in Makati. I am the creditcard holder and my mom is the traveler, and had no problem.

difference of more or less 300 usd (with tax). but will see....cos the date is a lot closer.. might be more expensive now. thank you and good for you... btw, its not about when u buy the ticket that gives the trouble according to what i read here.....its at the airport on the day of the flight that gets fussy ...to some. trying to avoid the same fate.

best of luck to your mom

I bought my ticket round trip last March from Mango Tours in Newark, CA. I just arrange everything on the phone with Marissa and at the same time I also bought my son's one way ticket from Manila to Boston and there was really no problem elsewhere. Yesterday I was booking a flight to Manila possibly November. One way for me from Boston International Airport costing $565 including tax. $765 for my son's including tax also. Maybe you can try them, Marissa is my contact person there and she is a very nice lady. They have a branch at H.V. dela Costa in Makati. If you want to buy a ticket and the passenger will be coming from Manila, Marissa can book you in communication with their branch in Makati. You can also call their Makati office for free thru Marissa. I hope this helps. Good luck. Just google Mango Tours Newark, CA contact numbers.
