Check your airport terminal fee when going the travel agency route, binaba yung rates...

NAIA to lower terminal fee for international flights

TERMINAL fee for international flights at the Ninoy Aquino International Airpot (NAIA) will be cut to P550 from the current P750 starting Feb. 1, the Manila International Airport Authority said.
This, as the five-year security development program will come to an end at said date, MIAA General Manager Jose Angel A. Honrado said in a telephone interview on Wednesday.

The MIAA, which operates the Manila airport, has put in place an additional P200 charge back in February 2007 to beef up security measures in the airport. Such resulted in an increase in terminal fee for international flights to P750 from P550. -- Kathleen A. Martin

i booked a room sa Tai San last year for our travel on jan22-25... HK$480 for double bed na room ang binigay saming rate... and then when i called up today to ask kung how much kung mag-eextend kami hanggang gabi (dahil 10pm pa ang flight namin), sabi nya, walang problema basta wala pang gagamit ng room... tapos tsaka nya lang sinabi na dahil daw chinese new year, we have to add HK$100 per night... e meron sa cosmic guesthouse na HK$490 lang, 3 single beds na yun... what should i do? should i stay at taisan on our last day na lang? jan22-24 lang kasi available yung sa cosmic... puede po kaya yun?

------------------------------------------------------------
waaahhhh!!!! ngayon lang ako nagbackread ng bonggang-bongga... madami pa lang nagrereklamo sa Taisan... baka kung saan-saan lang din kami ilagay dahil si ate yolly na din nagsabi na punuan yun kasi nga CNY... sana naman hindi maging disaster ang bakasyon namin... 1st time pa naman namin mag out of the country... haaaayyyy... goodluck samin...

Hi po!

We will be going to HK on March 3-6. By that time eh going 5 months preggy na ko. My OB said ok naman for me to travel. Etong IT sana ni blue_tracer ang gusto namin gawin. Except yung last day na baka mas maaga kami umalis sa Ocean Park kasi 7:30PM flight namin pauwi.

Ok lang kaya ito kahit preggy ako or masyado nakakapagod? Yung mga rides syempre di ko na sasakyan hehe. Pero aside from that, meron pa bang hindi advisable sa buntis na puntahan sa HK?

TIA!

day 1

2.00 pm to 10 pm:

shopping + the peak + avenue of stars

day 2

8.00 am to 8.00 pm:

macau tour

day 3

10.00 am to 9.00 pm:

ngong ping + disneyland


day 4

10.00 am to 4.30 pm:

ocean park

6.00 pm to 6.50 pm:

city to airport


kaya 'yan. pag sumasakay ako sa cebu pac, minsan 1 hour before the flight na lang puwede pa.

pero para sigurado.. alis na kayo ng ocean park by 4.00 pm. kasyang-kasya pa ang time. maluwag pa 'yan.

hindi na ganun kalamig ang march. light jackets na lang. ang iba nga t-shirt lang. hehehe


enjoy your trip

Day 1

- Its doable (ngong ping) since malapit sa may Tsing-Yi station . The rest is ok

Day 2 - 4 - No comment since hawak kayo ng Tour. Just follow Agent's ITI.

day 5 - Check-out early before going to nanlian then deposit luggage. this way wala kayong pressure sa pagbalik sa hotel (in case di kayo nakapag-check-out ng maaga) sa tanghali. BTW, what day does your HK Tour end. This day ba?

Day 6 - 7 is OK. Just be aware of your Ferry schedules.

[floreno]

Currently at DMIA waiting for my 7am flight to HK.
