Oman Air looks quite good at the mo'...with nominal dates Sept 8th-Oct 8th. Good flight duration times too. Skyscanner is a good starting point, then maybe try the airline site. http://www.skyscanner.net/transport...ncludeOnePlusStops=true&browsePrice=425&age=3
yes--ive been running various dates through skyscanner over the last week or so----and was very surprised at the prices--thats why i thought i was doing it wrong. i thought i would be paying double the amount.
it certainly makes ££ sense to go get wed over there---the travel + insurance ££ is less than that first FLR fee with a fiancee visa
Well, you'll normally see the lowest quote, but of course the final figure will depend on the actual flight dates you choose. Being retired, as I am also, it does mean that we can use a bit of flexibility. For instance flying on a Tuesday may be cheaper. Just play about with dates and different flight times for instance, until you get the best price from that airline ...though I'd eat hay with a donkey if sub-£400 return was possible, so probably forget that. 400-550, should be plenty though, especially from London.

And your Mrs will be able to find work straight away once in the UK, you'll be better off financially when she gets here, the future is looking good
I think I am speaking for a lot of people when I say I wish I could experience my first time in the Philippines all over again, yourself and bigmac have a lot to look forward to, I feel a little jealous, nothing beats the first time
she looks like she's a nice girl. when i look at this photo i see someone genuinely wanting to show u how the dress she bought looks on her - no pretense even having the photo taken presumably at their living room with her mom/gran at the background. people lie. not because they are filipinas u met online but because they lie. if u believe the love u think u both have is worth giving a chance then go for it. dont let other people's bad experience decide how u want to live ur life. good luck
so bigmac if you get married over there what is the next step to bring your wife back to uk ? do you have to have a marriage visa to do that?
makes two of us haha, my parents have said they wouldn't mind a holliday there and they could meet her too, but I duno if I want them there haha
spouse visa. costs the same--but it comes with leave to remain for the first 30 months----and she can work straight away. fiancee visa means she would have to apply for further leave to remain--after the wedding here---within 6 months--before she can work. also costs£600--plus £300 same day service--plus £500 NHS surcharge
but I duno if I want them there haha might be better if they do go with you---keep you out of mischief
That will make it even better when you get there, all your stress will be relieved in more ways than one
Go on your own Steven. I'm sure you're mum and dad are lovely but you'll have a super time without them
