Hi,
I am trying to find cheap flights from BKK-MNL-BKK on 4/6-8, but I am finding NOTHING in a good price range! Everything is at least $500/ticket (Philippine Airlines, Thai Airways). I've tried the discount airlines listed here but none of them fly BKK-MNL.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Should I try ticket consolidators?
Thanks!!!

i2fantsiz4,
how much time do you have in BKK? I did an open jaws reward ticket on CO about this time last year, and purchased a one way ticket on PR for under $200 all in with a three day advance purchase. There are bucket shops all over BKK, so it should not be hard. In fact, IIRC RT was well under $400, and probably under $300, but of course that was a year ago. The PR flight had a special fare for citizens of PI, but of course that leaves most of us out.
Couple of point though: I've read that you may be asked to provide proof of return journey from LOS, though I never was in several trips. And while you may be nervous about going to a country with no way out unless you find a decently priced ticket there, I did it on my maiden voyage to Asia (can't say it wasn't in the back of my mind though :eek: ).

Unfortunately April is the time of the year when the tickets are the most expensive. I usually buy my tickets at an agency called Six Stars, I found them to be the cheapest. No website though but this one http://www.saveflights.com/country/philippines.html also offers good prices.

I do not believe that Tiger flies to Manilla. Same with Air Asia.
Not sure if there are any other LCC in the area for you to check

I'm guessing seamallowance means the old US Air Force base about 80 km outside of MNL - Manila (Clark) (CRK)
You can take Victory Liner (and other) buses into town proper. This will of course add some serious time to the journey because of the traffic congestion in Manila even though most of the journey is on a freeway :rolleyes:
And of course you have to buy two journeys, because Air Asia only sells tickets to and from Singapore, at least on their website.
