Hello all, I have some questions regarding about buying plane ticket.By the end of this month Im going to the Philippines to get my 3 boys we are wondering if its much cheaper to buy their plane tickets there in PI because when we are checking for a one way ticket it is much higher than of the round trips.Or it is still much better if we buy here? any suggestions please.

Tickets vary in price so much it takes a lot of time to get the best price. To know for sure you need to do price comparisons. Have someone call a travel agency in the Phils for you. NWA was running a special for roundtrip tickets from the Phils to the USA. If it is less costly you could cancel the return trip.

If you are buying an RT (US-PH-US) its better to purchase it in the US. For 1 way ticket I was able to booked for $680 cathay pacific POE - NY. If you kids are less than 12 years old dont forget to apply for travel tax exempt at dept of tourism.

Thanks for the info my kids are 17,14 and 9 but we already bought their tickets here can my youngest will still be able to apply for a travel tax exempt?

Also we found a great deals on RT and one way at onetravel they are the lowest ticketing agency so far that i found but you have to buy it online bec if you will call their costumer service and try to deal with them their price are much diff than what it says on their website its confusing, they have this $10 off from purchasing ticket on their website but its time limited so we grabbed the chance ;) .

I am not sure since you already purchased your ticket. When I booked our ticket the travel agent asked me for the TEC and told me that they are the one who will forward to the airline. You may check with the airline, who knows you can get a refund :) have a safe trip :)

Some airlines have a "first time immigrant visa discount". I got almost 20% for my wife and anak from PAL when they came.

First.

Sometimes it's better to buy in USA, Sometimes it better to buy in PI

Just depends on whom and what airline is running a specials to fill up a plane
