Hi i know this forum is mainly for expat discussion. But i'm pretty sure some of you expats fly back and forth fairly often to the uk. and i recon your the best to ask. Can anyone recommend a good airline to fly to manila with, economy class? I've used Qatar airways & Cathay Pacific in the past, but i'm just wondering if there are any others worth a mention? i could research online but i figure you guys would have the best advice. Thank you Stacy

From LHR with PAL. Be prepared for no inflight entertainment and limited drinks service and PAL are quite expensive. Malaysian airlines have good service and are normally cheaper than Qatar and Cathay Pacific. China Southern is also cheap but I have never traveled with them so service will be as you find them. A friend always travels Turkish Airlines and recons they are great and normally costs less than whatever I end up using.

PAL in flight entertainment was an Ipad that had movie channels and lots more.

Food was good, no issue with refreshments, they trolly dolly the same as any other carrier I use them for return flights from the Philippines £650 return for my next booking'

I just prefer non stop

quantas just made a big show on non stop perth to heathrow when Pal, but for an extra couple hundred or so Km have been doing this for awhile

We often use skyscanner for flights, you normally get the e ticket within 48 hrs then jusy go into the airline sight to check that it's legit. We arrive back from the Philippines yesterday morning on Cathay Pacific and paid £430 each. one and a half hour stopover in Hong Kong both ways.

Momondo.com is my main search engine flights

I did some research on them and it looks risky! Some people getting scammed!

I have used Momondo.com to search for flights to Europe and South East Asia for years and have always found Momondo.com to come up with the lowest online price with various booking companies such as Omeaga flight store.co.uk, Travelbag.co.uk and the airline direct on occasions. Momondo is a skyscraper flight finder and very good.Just my experience over 20 years.

Maybe you are the owner of Momondo.com and scan these forums looking for prey maybe?
