Not in these days of cheap travel. Tiger, for example, flies from neighboring Macau to Manila (Clark) for peanuts. But there is the question of how convoluted a routing you're willing to endure to save a few pennies... and is it really cheaper in the end when you factor in all the taxes, transfers, etc.
