So I met her online

well--i'm intending to go sometime in september---for 6 weeks. any day is ok--i'm retired so its all the same to me. many offers under £400-----or is there a catch ? like a tax or surcharge at the airport ? air china seems to be the lowest price----half what some of you guys are paying.
( is there a toilet on board ? )

my g/f paid around £1000 end of july 2 years ago---her sister here in the UK bought the ticket. i know thats peak holiday season. i ended up paying for it--but i never did see the invoice. maybe there were other additions i wasnt aware of---lol !

Should be good food on the menu.

Number 35 please! With egg fried rice.

At this time of year - the Yulin Meat Festival - it could be dog. Or cat.

i'll take some cheese sandwiches just in case

has anyone used Philippine airways ?
I found this

try that bigmac, its return and direct

when it loads you can chose the number of stops or fly direct , theres different options

Think I'd want to be going for more than a week though.

I have used Southern China twice great airline

cheers--excellent. i had noticed philippines airlines on other sites--the idea of a direct flight certainly appeals---even though the fares are a bit more.

Its a good deal for sure.

I'm sure bigmac will get himself a good deal too as he can choose when to fly being in the fortunate position of being retired

I just put in roughly, to be honest its a first for everything for me, first flight, first proper holiday and of course the most important is it is looking more likely to be first time I meet my gf in person

And, the flight will be full of pretty Filipinas too, a win win situation.

i wonder if the admin of this site could negotiate a deal with philippine air ?

that's why I thought direct is better as im not sure about airports lol

I don't think there are enough active members to have any clout but you never know, good publicity for them, every little helps.

yeah bigmac £300 return tickets for everyone lol

even an arrangement where members here could book direct
