Jollygoodfellow Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 Somehow I think the airlines seen me coming. One way tickets vary from $1023 to $1217 from Brisbane Australia to Cebu. I did find a couple flights with 2 layovers for $755 but still they like to make their money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frosty (chris) Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 Not only you JGF. . I Remember when I finally moved here, wanted to come for Xmas and the fare one way from Perth with Tiger was over a thousand dollars, I checked their site and found if I went on the 10th Jan the o.w fare came down to just under three hundred, same route, same flight time, same airline, go figure 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philippine Airlines, MAN-CAIRNS, there no seats available on the dates I checked in December. What has shown up is a possible off peak fare of $382, but it reverts to $582 if booked only one way. December though. Deluxe Economy $1200++ in USD. I'm looking at March-April, with better results on Tiger. 31 hour flight though, 20 hours in Singapore. I would still buy the connection to Cairns. JGF. It's quite late to be booking in December. Can't you go in November for normal pricing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyscanner shows one way flights from Brisbane to Manila in early December for under 20,000 pesos with Singapore Airlines. Doesn't sound too bad to me as its only a couple thousand pesos to get from Mania to Cebu. Close to Christmas the price doubles. I'm looking at the site now and it shows Dec 4 has a 19,000+ peso flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure where skyscanner gets its info as the Singapore airlines site says on December the 4th to Manila, cheapest is $729 au. Anyway for what it's worth I am better off paying a few hundred extra direct to Cebu with a stop at Singapore. I hate long layovers and stuffing around when flying and Chris suggestion of November got me thinking and for $655 au departing 28th November might be the one if my damn hands would stop shaking long enough to press confirm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just point and click the link they provide and voila! For example, since you mentioned you may go Brisbane - Cebu in late November I went to SkyScanner and did a couple clicks until I had to actually pay for the flight and here's what I got By my calculations that is $568 au so I just saved you some bucks? Nah, I rereading your post I see you already found a flight for about that price but if you don't like the Nov date then plug in a different date and see what you get. Lots of airlines and lots of online travel agents link to SkyScanner Edited July 27, 2016 by Dave Hounddriver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
