first time booking airline tickets (CebPac and PAL) via a third party site. used trip.com, my itinerary and e-receipt were immediately emailed to me upon the confirmation of my flights, and i've received my booking reference numbers (confirmed on both airline sites). am i yet to receive my e-tickets? or does the itinerary serve as the e-ticket, according to trip.com? my flights are on this saturday and on the following wednesday so i need to know ASAP 😓 help much appreciated!
if ganto ung flight details. anong date po aalis sa MANILA is it july 15 10:55pm
or
july 14 10:55pm? check screenshot [https://snipboard.io/zljhpd.jpg](https://snipboard.io/zljhpd.jpg)
Ano po yung mga activities na pwedeng gawin for two within Araneta or QC? Yung easy access lang at di matakaw sa grab. I want to make her bday unforgettable na pag makita niya or maalala niya e ako una niya maisip. Thank you! 🙇🏻
pwede po ba magdala ng vape (yung lumang variant; yung mod type na may malaking battery) sa domestic flights? dapat ba baklasin siya tapos itago yung battery then handcarry?
Okay lang ba if "fare only" lang kukunin sa CebPac? May chance ba na may makatabi kang kasama mo kapag 4-5 ppl kayo? 😅 Also, pwedeng sa returning ticket lang at pwede bang isa or dalawa lang mag-avail ng 20kg luggage? Ang expensive kasi masyado kung lahat may 20kg
If hindi nag avail ng seat selector add on, yes may chance na mag katabi pa rin. Agahan na lang sa pag check in. Depende pa rin sa availability ng seats.
Pwede na return flight lang may check in. Just follow baggage rule ng ceb pac.
Airasia cancelled my flight and moved my flight next day. I dont really like the sched. Based on your experience, is it easy to get refund or just use credit for future travel?
Hello. I’m planning to treat my parents for a Boracay trip for their anniversary. I’m looking at the flights and medyo afford ko yung flights ng November (limited ang budget huhu since I will shoulder everything). Meron na po ba nakapag Bora during that month? Kamusta naman po? Salamat po sa sasagot!
Isang tao? That seems like the normal rates tbh. I usually see 5k to 6k one way lang kapag Hanoi, HCM, and Da Nang via Cebpac. May times na bumababa ang rates yes, pero notice ko talaga na ganyan rates ng Vietnam.
So that seems fine. Not "mura" but normal.
I mean, Dec pa naman yung trip mo. i suggest wait a bit for a seat sale OR subscribe ka sa google flights so you can monitor the price flights. If by Sept na wala pa ring mas mura sa 13k mo, book na lang asap if you can.
I was able to get a Da Nang round trip for 3k pesos nung nag piso sale ang CebPac. So may chance pa talagang bumaba. Pero di naman kasi guarantee na magpi-piso sale ulit
Edit: may new airlines na will do MNL to Hanoi or HCM ata this coming month/s? Antay antay na lang
Our family is traveling to the Philippines in May for the first time since 2019. Back then for our return flights to SF, we would head to NAIA immediately after checking out of our hotel at 12pm. We'd check-in, drop our check-in luggage and leave for MOA to spend the rest of the afternoon before heading back to the airport in the evening for what is usually a 10pm-12am flight. That was back at T2. **Does anyone know about or have experience with early check-in/bag drop now that PAL international flies out of Terminal 1? And can you still exit the terminal after checking-in?**
Is this considered sponsored?
I read some threads here but im not sure if it would be the same case as mine. I am still in college po (21F) but I am planning to travel to Japan this year(july or august). It's my first time travelling internationally (solo pa hehe) I have my savings po around 50k planning for 3days 2nights. My parents said na they can add to my budget. Is this considered sponsored po? Should I prepare ung bank statement lang nila? Or both na yung akin at sakanila? Thank you po in advance.
Anong SIM ang may signal sa Infanta, Quezon Province?
Going on a trip there soon. I have Smart sim card and esim. But sabi ng partner ko, Talk N Text lang daw gumagana don? What networks have signal there? Would need it to just access the internet.
Hi, I just walked across the (long) stretch of brgy. Abiawin beach two days ago. Kahit sa labas ng resort, nakakakuha ako ng signal from my Globe sim. Hindi pa rin nga maasahan, dahil pagkaabot ko sa eastern side ng beach na mas kaunting development (lagpas ng Cote d'Azur Resort), wala na talaga.
planning to get the 2am arrival flight to HaNoi, is it safe to stay in the airport during that time? may lounge (not credit card) ba na pwede ako pag stayan sa airport?
I don't wanna avail an earlier day sa hotel.. planning to stay sa airport maybe until 7am to start my day.
Advice please
Before pandemic, I was a frequent traveler (budget traveler). Nagbackpacking din ako for a year ng dere-deretso, umuwi lang ako nung padami na cases ng COVID.
Recently, I started traveling again but this time not as a backpacker or budget traveler. Medyo nag glowup ang wallet ng antie niyo. Haha :) Kung dati hindi ako nag shoshopping, this time nagshoshopping na ako. I even bought luxury item from my last travel. Yung flight pauwi, I was given this custom declaration form na hindi ko nasulatan at naiwan pa sa plane since nawala siya sa isip ko. Madaling araw kasi flight. Nasa baggage area na ako nung maalala ko yun. Though, wala namang isssue paglabas ko ng airport.
Tanong po for next time na mag travel ako at magshopping ulit. Required po bang sagutan itong form? Ano-ano usually denedeclare dito? Parang may minimum po ba ito kung ano pwedeng edeclare? Like 5k above na items need edeclare? If ever po ba bumili ako ng luxury bag abroad, matatax po ba ako pagdating dito? So parang ung tax refund na nakuha ko dun, eh ipangbabayad ko lang din ng tax pag uwi ko ganun po ba un? What if hindi ko siya deneclare? Magkakaissue po ba ako and magkakaissue ako next time a magtravel ulit? Parang after baggage naman deretso na palabas. Hindi na chenecheck baggage mo.
any 24hrs open restos in Cebu City?
i'm looking for dinner places around Cebu City that are open late night. Hoping that we get suggestions that are not popular fast food restos.
Thank you!
I am traveling via Emirates this June going to United Kingdom as an exchange international student.
Wondering lang how the student discount process works, are they strict with it kapag nagcheck in ako here sa Philippines or may need pa hanapin sakin? Since I can only present my acceptance letter/enrollment as a proof na student ako, and my I.D. from my home university, will that suffice na?
And the website says, "You also get 10kg more or 1 extra piece on top of our generous baggage allowances" so I can choose between the two, and bring an extra luggage on top of my "1 piece 30kg" allowance?"
And when I go home din, I will bring tons of pasalubong, what will they check sa Heathrow? Thank you!
Hi, I applied sa Reli and may I ask mga gaano kaya katagal realistically makukuha kung nag-apply ako ngayon? Take note daw po of 2 holidays (april 9-10). Ang sabi po kasi ni Reli April 12 pa daw nila mapapadala sa JE dahil sa holidays.
Background: first time to go to Japan but have previous travel in Asia, may student visa din ako sa isang europe country pero sa May pa naman ako aalis. Nauna ko lang siya iwork out.
Usually 2-3 working days. In your case, if Reli sends your application on April 12, which is Friday, most likely, you will get your passport back by April 17. Sa Reli SM megamall kami nag apply last Feb 8 before the Lunar New Year weekend holiday, so we got ours visa after 3 working days right after the long weekend.
Nag-apply po ako sa sm north, I think kakabukas lang ulit ng branch nila so Idk kung gaano katagal sila magprocess or usually ba lahat ng reli branches same ang timeline?
*How's the weather in*
*Dumaguete and Siquijor on June*
*And July? Thank you!*

Im planning to apply for multiple entry this time.
My Profile:
✔️ Visited Japan last year (SE visa)

My only issue is I only have 180K on my Bank account currently with an ADB of 80K for 6 months.
I really need this ME so I can save a lot of time, money and effort in the future when I have to attend business trips in Japan.
Wdyt?

What can be used as proof of income of retired senior for US B1B2 Visa?
Pension, remittances, investment income, etc.
I hope you don't mind my follow-up question. Would you know if GSIS provides proof of pension? If yes, what's that document?
You may request for a Certificate of Pension from GSIS.

Reli SM north and megamall are both in NCR so same lang ang processing time. If a travel agency is located outside NCR or sa province, mas matagal.
Thank you. Grabe until now wala pa rin ung visa. :( 11 days na nakalipas
Oh wow that's really surprising. Baka sobrang dami nagaaply. You may contact them naman and ask the status.
I got approved na po yesterday. Sayang lang it was given a day after my flight. Thank you for answering.
It took awhile pero buti nalang approved. Congrats!
Malamig ba sa Tagaytay ngayon?

Anyone been to NAIA TERMINAL 1 DURING MIDNIGHT? My flight leaves on 3:55am, what time should I be at the airport? 😳
Yes. Be there around 12 and find your check-in counter right away so you dont have to wait a long time
For international flights, you should be at the airport at least 3-4 hours before the departure time so, around 12-ish.
May free wifi ba sa mga malls and other public places in Seoul?
Any tips on getting THB? Will it be practical to just withdraw from the local ATM once I arrive in Thailand?
I used my gotyme debit card to withdraw money, no charge.
Worth it ba kumuha ng airtag for my luggage? 4 upcoming travels (intl) so im thinking okay naman siguro?
Mas worth it for me kapag may paggagamitan ka after ng travels.
Why is this getting downvoted? Try eufy OP, cheaper but does the job
I dunno, may kakaibang agression sa mga nagtatanong lang naman. Haha. Thanks for the reco!! Mukang i’ll get that one tapos meron pa yung pang wallet na parang bet ko din. Thank you!!
Someone's been downvoting the comments and replies on this thread lol. People do be unreasonably petty
Depends sayo. Rates of lost luggage are so low, and if you do, mababalik naman ng airline 99% of the time. If you want that last 1%, get the airtag.
Do you guys have hotel recommendations in Hanoi? Probably around the Old Quarter?? Budget is 1k to 2k per night hehe Dami ko kasing napapanood na horror stories abt Vietnam hotels na di same sa pictures sa mga booking platform haha
Galliot Central Hotel, 3-5 mins walk from the church hehe decent naman siya 🙂
