snippets of info : Airlines

Snippets of info i would like to share...
Dahil naniniwala akong magkikita-kita din tyo sa finals... :)
(or kung trip nyong magbakasyon... *wink* *wink*)

4 Airlines with regular flights to Singapore:
(ordered from "cheap-ass" to "OMG-i-have-no-intention-of-buying-the-plane!?!")
1. Tiger Airways
2. Cebu Pacific
3. Philippine Airlines
4. Singapore Airlines
(not so sure if there are other airlines out there...)

1 and 2 are also called "budget airlines". airfares are relatively cheap, however prepare yourself for philippine immigration "interrogation". I've read/heard several stories of people not being able to make it to SG because they seemed "suspicious-looking" to the immigration officers. Pro kung bakasyon lang talaga ang habol mo, at kung wala ka namang tinatago, then go lang. malaking tipid din kung dito... :)

if you want to save yourself from the trouble, take 3 or 4. Immigration officers assigned to these airlines are allegedly "kinder" than those in budget airlines. Airfare however is nearly twice as expensive as 1 and 2 airlines.

If your taking PAL, also note that the length of stay also determines how much your airfare is. If the duration of stay is less than or equal to 8 days, you save more than 1 thousand pesos.
ex:
length of stay is 08 days = price of ticket is 14,072.00 (roundtrip)
length of stay is 14 days = price of ticket is 15,888.00 (roundtrip)

no idea why they have this scheme. just call PAL hotline for more info... hehehe :)

also, try surveying prices in travel agencies. according to the PAL hotline dude i talked to, agencies usually have cheaper deals...
