Sis try checking Expedia.com or Priceline. I believe they have good rates for flights. Try checking with Orbitz as well. You can check what's the best date and what time to fly. All you need to do is play with their website.

I really suggest you book a flight as early as possible cause rates are quite crazy for the past weeks kasi summer break and all. Everybody wants to go some place else. And these sites work on a real time inventory so the price they will quote you may not be the same rate after 1 hour or so. ;) Just my 2 cents. :)
Always believe that something wonderful is about to happen.

Hi sis, my tatay and nanay will be travelling to NY on 6th of this month, i was able to book them at Etihad since this was so far the cheapest  airline I could get. Ang disadvantage lang is mahaba ang travel time since pa mideast ang route nila then europe then NY na so ang MLA-JFK is 27 hrs and JFK-MLA is 24 hrs. BUT their price is only around $3100 compare to other airlines na nasa $2K ang one way pa lang or more than $4K ang two way, sayang pocket money na din yun di ba. Anyway, i have tried Etihad and ok naman ang service,pati food at bago ang mga eroplano since bagong airline pa ito. I tried checking for their rate sa ibang site (expedia etc.) so far konting difference lang  sa rate so I decided to book directly on their own site.

Yun lang po and sis chamonix617 is right, you should book as earlier as possible kasi habang nagiging close ang date mas nag mamahal ang air faire. Good luck sa trip and enjoy your vacay! NY is indeed one of the greatest place on earth!
kung kaya nila, kaya ko rin! :)

August is peak season kasi bakasyon!  (No, in the Phils. it is not bakasyon time)

PAL Economy is about USD1500 .. Manila to LAX or San Fo
Cathay is almost double... Singapore Airlines .. good luck if you can get Economy tickets for the entire month of August.
Even inconvenient Eva Air (5hour stop over in Taipei both ways) is almost double the PAL fare.

Look it all up at Expedia.

jetradar.com is the only place I go to search flights now, after consistently finding them to find the best deals. They don't 'promote' any particular airline, but are totally transparent, plus they include the extra fees and taxes that you know you have to pay but many other 'comparison' sites leave off. This is helpful, as you can make a fair assessment of which is the best price.

^sis, from HKG you have a lot of choices but I don't think there are direct flights to Texas. You can try the following website for comparison of routes and prices.

Coming from Manila, I always take CX to the US. POE ko either LA, SFO, ORD or JFK. Then I take domestic flights, mas mura compared to getting them in one ticket. What you can do buy a round trip ticket to LA with an international airline then buy another round trip ticket from LA to Texas (where in Texas?) with a US domestic carrier.
