 |
|
Hi there,
Sorry, know this has probably been asked 100 times, but I can't find any of the threads cos the search function doesn't work too well!
We are wanting to go to Mindoro at the end of July for a week and were wondering where to go for the cheapest airfares.
Any advice would be great! Thanks!! |

There are NO CHEAP flights in July. School gets out, prices double.
Plan on spending 500-800k won to get a return flight ICN-MNL-ICN.
Cebu pacific usually has the best rates ICN-MNL. There are some disadvantages to using them. Only 15kg baggage. 5kg carry-on. No meals or drinks provided (you have to buy them and that includes water).
IF you book now you may get something cheaper (depending on your dates). I just looked and found a few dates in July for about 320k won return but they won't last long.
Regular rates for Asiana and Korean air run 700-800k return in peak seasons.

There are two 'bargain airlines' flying between Korea and the Philippines.
http://www.cebupacificair.com/
The sooner you book, the lower the prices. In my one experience: A very modern plane - but not even water is complimentary. Still very very good prices and a professional experience. I wouldn't hesitate to take them again.
Or,
http://www.zestair.co.kr/
I've never taken this one. |

Why do people complain about no free water? I'd rather pay 80,000 won + 1000 won for water than 300,000 won for a flight with free water  |

I don't think anyone here has complained - just pointed out, as such a policy is unusual enough to warrant mentioning. |

Yup, you have to go to their Korean website:

| I've never used the website - but try using Internet Explorer if you weren't, a huge number of Korean websites are IE-only (Seems to be an E. Asia thing) |

Are you trying to do a one-way? That could cause a problem.

Still no joy, try Busan-Kalibo and see what happens. I've given up on that website.  |

So it's still not working, keep getting the pop up window which translates into something about being out of service.
Anyone have any experience with this website? |
