And the other thread reaffirms fly PAL direct

Does Qatar fly to both airports? The fare to each airport is different

CRK yields a fare around £2000

If you need the points find a way of flying QR - but be sure it really qualifies for points, bit of a minefield there.

But be sure you have looked closely at Offers on the CX website. They can be much cheaper to fly J to the less wealthy Asian destinations via HK than direct HK fares. Also try calling the London number - the phone price is often cheaper and more flexible than online.

I have no idea how QR can get you to CRK. But unless your client is based well North of MNL I would recommend giving it a miss.

As in the other thread.

"And to the previous poster - Clark is about 50 miles North West in Angeles City, which rather inconveniently is not well connected to the main routes North ("Main" is a rather loose term for a 2 line unlit track shared with unlit rotavators pulling trailers [kuligligs]and an exotic menagerie of farm animals).

To land at Clark planes have to be fully equipped with red lights inside and out."
