What would your comfort level be for a long day of international travel, 2000 Peso, just the bare minimum for fees, or maybe more? Nice to have some dollars in transit... Congrats, best wishes!

What if she wants coke or hotdog while waiting?

If you can barely give her enough money to get her to USA, what you gonna do when she becomes you sole dependent for about 6 months while waiting for Work Permit / Driver Licenses

WOW some are reading alot into a simple post. Just asked what was the correct fees for departing and some are quick to throw the don't be a cheap jerk card. Of course She will have more than enough for travel and any expenses. She said that 2000 pesos was ample and I knew better than that is why I added this post. Am well aware of the cost of living, support needs after she arrives as well. Not in need of any lectures on cost of living and suport. For those who helped with good solid information on terminal fees and taxes thankyou.

The Travel Tax may be less. It actually depends on whether the ticket was bought on-line or from a travel agent in the PI. Assume the worst 1,700php and hope for the best 500php. The terminal fee at NAIA is as was listed: 750php.

Just flew thru Manila a few weeks ago. Pretty sure we paid terminal fees of 400 and 750 pesos (so 1,150 total per person). The shops near the gate will take American dollars & of course pesos, but no credit cards. A decent meal will run around 500 pesos.

I'm pretty sure our travel tax was less than 1,700 pesos. I almost want to say that we didn't pay it at all, but I'm not sure.

Thanks again for all the quick replys. I did purches the tickets on-line and included was $74.60 for tax and fees. Never know what if any and all of the actual charges are included in those taxs. She has plenty to cover any not included and plenty for food, snacks or maybe even that humm do I need this novialty travel mug or snowglobe. As an interesting side note. What does your your misses or mister what first when they arrive at there new home? Besides the just you or hugg and kiss. When I asked this was kinda amused and was reminded on just how lucky a man I am. Alma has a wish for a BigMac. he he.

The big thing missed for my wife was all the fresh vegetables and fish. She says everything in the stores here is frozen an it has a funny taste. I suggested we get some in cans and she was very fast to say no but I got some anyway and after she tried it I think she changed her mind cause now we only by vege's in the can.

Depends on where you live... in the Atlanta area there are several Asian food markets that are affordable and offer fresh vegetables & quality meat. My wife enjoys when we shop there.

adventure509, Sorry dude, very groggy last night. No offenses meant on my part, a wholehearted apology. Mainly was trying to convey the need for x-tra dollars rather than just pesos in transit. I left Manila in May with barely the cash to get through the airport and pesos had no value once en-route. Again, sorry for the jerkishness... A sincere congrats and best wishes.

Tell her to pack her own food for the trip. My wife didn't and she was miserable. She hated the airline food and didn't order any ffood in Japan en route because she couldn't read the menus at the restaurants in the airport.
