21st Philippine Travel Mart

[jaded1025]

Nakabili kami dun sa mares booth ng towelite. Maganda sya!

Parang gusto ako sabunutan ng tita ko ng sinabi kong nakabili ako sa pakyaw ng corregidor na 998 lang. Haha! Kaya ako na lang bibili para sakanila bukas.

[shegothim]

kung gustong magovernight sa corregidor sis mas mura iyong babayaran kung sa travel expo bumili. add lang daw ng 500 if magoovernight. kung sa pakyaw 1800 daw.

iyong dinner cruise naman na free nila 550 ang regular rate.

[pure.love is bliss]

when i went there last friday i was hoping sana merong booth ang pacsafe kaso wala naman sayang.

yung travel expo for domestic destinations lang kailan naman and saan? sana naman may promos talaga unlike sa travel mart, parang joke lang.

18th PTT Expo 2011

As early as 10:15, I got a number for APX (P488/way), Im #139. Wow, nakita ko yung sineserve, #10! Hopeless!
Same as Zest (P218/way), my number is 188, sineserve ay #24 palang. Mas Hopeless.
CP offers the same deal in the website (50%). Sorry pero ang weirdo ng mga pumipila sa dito. Haha Wala kayong internet and book your own?

For me, walang super good deal. Halos yun din naman inoffer nila paminsan sa websites nila or ensogo. Mas madaming booths na nag-ooffer ngsame rate din sa website nila. Patawa?! 

Well, eto mejo baka may interesado:
- Caylabne P2011 per room, with free upgrade, with free breakfast.
- Hotel H20 P2011++ something yung park room. Yung Aqua room nasa 4,000. Room only, no breakfast.
- Puerto del Sol - 50% off for stay in Jul-Nov2011
- Thunderbird Rizal for P5,088 and Poro Point for P6,388 - room with breakfast for 2, etc.
- El Cielito and EK for 4 for P4,490 (til jan2012)
- Misibis Bay 2+1 promo (not sure with the details) and P18,888 nett/pax

Tapos all others puro diving packages to Apo and Tubbataha na kinuha kong flyers. Sale din pala yung diving suits, thermo guard, rashguard (ok alam ko di na kayo interesado sa part na to)

buti nga ikaw around 100 lang ang aantayin mo, kame from 1200 we need to wait pa for 300 numbers to be called! true din na yung package tours dun halos walang difference sa site/ticketing offices nila. saka sobrang iksi ng travel time, most of them within 2-3 months lang dapat gamitin mo na. like sa EK, til march 2011 lang?! yung ibang packaged tour from travel agencies nakakatawa ang presyo, naisip ko na lang yung nagbu-book sa ganun wala na siguro time magmember dito sa GT/PEX kaya tingin nila mura at sulit na yung deals dun.

^ Superkorek! la syado wenta  . Abang nalang tayo sa mga group buying sites. Corregidor lang din purchased ko kasi bihira talaga sila magpromo. Haist finally  and buti na lang me pyrolympics, sulit narin ang pagpunta

[pastillas]

Waaahhh...may pyrolympics pala???

Sayang...kasi ang aga naming umalis kasi wala masyadong okay na deal..medyo disappointed ako ngayon sa 18th TTE mas ok yung Travel Mart sa MegaTrade Hall..sa September na lang ulit mga sis:)

Nga pala, about cebupacific...pansin ko lang ha...parang di masyadong okay ang rates nila sa mga ganitong events...compared sa Zest Air..mas okay pa nga sa CEB website. Kasi, parang accredited ticketing office lang sila eh..I went last time sa Travel Mart sa Megamall and asked for my itineraries to get printed..sabi may bayad daw. Sabi ko, bakit? Sabi nila accredited lang daw sila, kaya sa Robinsons pa ako pumunta sayang kasi parang 50 ba yun per page? eh 4 yung nabook ko eh (..adik). Kahit sa CEB megamall may bayad din...kaya either Robinsons or T3 lang ako nagpaparint..

argghhh..sayang talaga pyrolympics!

[greenarrowbabe]

bumili rin kami ni rocky ng voucher para sa corregidor daytour plus manila bay dinner cruise. iyong nga lang di para sa akin iyong isang voucher kasi naka-avail na ako dati ng promo sa pakyaw.

sis, how much naman ang voucher nila?

[shegothim]

1500 sa travel expo
998 naman sa pakyaw few weeks ago.

[riandrew]

^ sayang Jen di tayo nagkita kagabi.

[Mr.Punch]

Andun din ako.  Potek, daming tao.

[chardonnay]

Hapon ako nagpunta around 4pm, la na gaano tao.

[Frenzied]

To those who went to the expo, how low are PAL flights? I wanted to book shanghai. Planning to habol today.

[mavhy]

Meron bang nakabili ng tickets to SG? Gusto ko lang sana malaman kung mas mura sa expo kesa sa nabili ko 50% sale ng cebupac hehe. tia!

[maryodette]

^ we bought 8pcs SG tickets at PAL for P10k each RT na... June 4-7 travel dates... Pero 10am until 5pm kami pumila... sobrang tiring pero sulit na rin!...

[theflygirl]

I visited the expo last Fri...to think weekday pa lang, ang haba ng pila ng PAL...mga 11am palang yun...natantsa ko na di ako aabot sa 12nn unextendable (napaextend ko na kasi before) PAL tktg time limit ko for SFO...I tried to make a new booking over the phone that same morning kasi kaso +$300 sa previous rate na ang cheapest fare per person ha! Yeow! My husband and I bought the tickets instead at the PAL tkt ofc at the domestic road. Walang tao, as in...and another good thing...the offers at the travel expo for international travel di covered yung travel dates namin...so what I only did there was to purchase travel insurance sa blue cross and inquire sa American Airlines for our US domestic tix...

@mama squeak-sorry, di ko kinaya haba ng pila sa PAL...and yung rates din ng agencies same lang with what I got over the phone eh...sa poster ng AA, $590++ west coast, but I asked my friend na supv dun, may add-ons pa so not sure how much papatak...diba your travel period is July? Sayang, baka nakakuha ka ng 70%off dun sa PAL...Jun-Aug travel period kasi nakapost sa kanila...

[mama squeak!]

^Hey flygirl! No problem, thanks for asking anyway. Hindi din pala kasama sa promo the fare I was looking for. Mom-in-law's used to flying first/business class because of father-in-law's benefits. So, we have to get her business class tickets. The promo's for fiesta class only. I'll just buy online na lang. Thanks again! Have a safe trip!

 

[theflygirl]

^Thanks! Safe trip to you and your fam, too! Anxious din ako kasi flying again with my kids (7 n 5 yos) on business kaso by twos so if I don't sit with them, I hope wag sila magtake two ng crying bout nila a couple of years ago..hehe...that time HKG lang yun. Eh it's gonna be transpac this time...wish me luck! For my folks, I hope not too full ang flight and with crew that we know...teehee...Oops, OT na...didn't see any real deals sa expo...final statement ko na lang on this topic...hehe

[aranses]

Na-book ko lang kanina sa travel expo eh un hotel h2o na executive club suite(biggest suite ng hotel h2O) less than 8000 pero if you book it online nasa 20000plus..
nainis ako dun sa plantation bay wala daw sila promo un pa naman pinuntahan ko para ma-book ko sila.
 gusto sana namin i-book un amanpulo around 59000/person included na airfare, 2nights accom at bfasts and dinner snacks..

[Frenzied]

I didnt see much great deals at the expo. The airfare were the same with all TAs, the PAL flight i wad trying to book were the same as that online.

The aman deal was great and the cruises. Other than those, u can get the same deals any day.
