when is the best time to book far east travel with multiple legs?
I am planning my honeymoon set in Sept 18th. I need to go from NYC to Shanghai to see my grandparents graves for a week from Sept 20 probably thru to 9/27. From Shanghai I want to take my new wife to the Philippines from 9/27 to 10/4 and back to NYC - any suggestions for:
1. When to book shanghai leg
2. Book trip in total or book shanghai leg first then follow with a chinese agent to book Shanghai to Manilla?
3. Book manilla to NYC in phillipines? Shanghai? US?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!!!
