Oh, thanks! Yeah he admitted this morning there was another paper with a photo on it. Really hard to get info out of him these days. And you must know already I'm like the Spanish Inquisition.

He's flying PAL. The price I said yesterday, 1,025, I forgot it's for Davao - Manila - Vancouver.

The reason I book it from Davao on a single ticket is because of the baggage allowance. You know how much baggage you get on PAL, Zest, or Cebu Pacific on the domestic flights.. checking an extra bag will be by the pound and I can tell you with absolute certainty that their scales are rigged on the heavy side because I always am amazed at how my suitcases gained 7 pounds since being on Air Canada.

An international ticket on PAL gets you 2 suitcases of 50 pounds each. If you buy a Domestic leg on the same ticket, your bags will be checked through at no additional cost (and you won't even have to deal with them in Manila) I figured for the extra cost of adding a domestic leg to the ticket it was worth it. Because say you get the seat sale or even use Mabuhay miles it will cost $50 minimum for a ticket. To add say 80 extra pounds extra on a domestic flight would be a fortune. And if you booked another PAL domestic flight to Manila they won't honour the international baggage because it's a separate ticket.
Okay, thanks! I dont have to worry about our baggage being over the limit as we will not bring a lot. Some clothes and all hello kitty toys for my daughter! :D

There are plenty of Manila threads, but all in Tagalog, so I thought we need to start one in English for those of us who can't participate - for example, Canadian spouses of Filipinos, or applicants from Japan and other countries that are processed though Manila.
