More and more international flights are leaving from Manila’s Terminal 3 (or NAIA3) and now, you have a few lounge options there, too. PriorityPass, Delta, KLM and SkyTeam are utilizing the Pacific Club Lounge in Terminal 3. Read my review to find out if it’s worth stopping by!
Last year, Lufthansa announced that they would launch a long-haul, low-cost subsidiary under their Eurowings brand, with many industry people and bloggers questioning the move. While that might be unfamiliar to the American market, it seems modeled after the “charter” (tourist) flights that have been around in Germany for a long time. Now, they are
I love South East Asia: The 10 countries making up ASEAN have so much to offer – from getaways to white beaches to exciting cities; from untouched nature and wildlife to stunning historical sights there is so much to see. And the different countries are as different as European ones, making it worth spending time
Every year, there is a large travel fair in Manila, the Travel Expo held at the SMX Convention Center near the Mall of Asia, and it has traditionally offered the best fare deals in the Philippines!

Late last year, Air Asia announced the introduction of an Asean Pass, offering 10 flight credits for 499MYR ($149) to use over 30 days or 20 flight credits for 888MYR ($249) to use over 60 days (AP+). After some delays due to the tragic loss of flight 8501, it is now on sale! If you

Buy by February 28th with travel dates varying by destination. With sample fares starting at $697, it doesn’t get much better
I recently posted about a fare sale of Norwegian Air (here), a long-haul discount carrier connecting Europe and North America. And they are at it again, offering one-way fares for under $200 between the US and Europe. I’m not sure how they are going to make money on those fares, regardless of the load factors,
I posted about the recent launch of Cebu Pacific’s GetGo rewards program. This post highlights some updates I got from Nik Laming, the General Manager of the Loyalty Division. UPDATE: I have since written a full, in-depth review of the GetGo rewards program – click HERE to read all the information about earning rewards points,
Philippine Airlines just devalued their award redemption chart without notice – well, they were nice enough to send out an email on January 31st that new redemption rates have been in effect since January 12th! And all the changes are bad news, redemption rates are between 11% and 50% higher than before throughout their network!
With oil prices at historic lows, the airlines are running out of excuses for imposing fuel surcharges on their flights and exposing them as what they are: hidden increases of fares. They allowed airlines to advertise low fares, and hiding the surcharge among taxes and government fees, and also charge frequent fliers for their “free”
Cebu Pacific has done many, many 1Peso (approx. 2.2cents US) sales in the past, usually for flights 6-9 months out and I scored a few very cheap tickets to international destinations. What makes this sale much better than in the past is that the Philippine Government recently eliminated fuel surcharges on all flights departing the
