[brattinella]

^same lang sa online, if you book thru cebupac/airphil/pal.... but if thru travel agency, yes may mga deals na magaganda talaga....

[cassidy02]

We were able to go last aug travel expo..nakabook kami pps package Php3850. With underground river, honda bay and city tour with permits na, 2 buffets lunch, 3days 2night accomodation.airport transfers. So ayun, it covers everything. It helps pa kasi nakabook na kami nung nagsale ang cebpa last july mla-pps (vv) Php900. So less than 5k lang worth ng trip..excited na kami! Ipon na lang po our pocketmoney and pang dinner. Haha!

may idea na ba kayo mga sis kung anong date at saan ang travel expo?

[mama squeak!]

^Feb 15 to 17 at SMX. Entrance fee is Php50.00

[shegothim]

thanks sa info sis. buti na lang wala akong lakad ng date na yan.

[hanson15]

usually pag may expo good for 2013 lang yan? or kasama 2014? Naghahanap kasi ako ng package for boracay para sa honeymoon namin ni h2b. Thanks!

[Miss Charcoal]

^nung last year, up to august 2012 lang ang nakita ko.

@mama squeak: sis, thanks! aabangan ko yan.

[engroselle]

joining...
first time ko po if ever, to attend ng travel expo on Feb 2013.
question lang...

1) spot cash po ba agad pag nagpa-book?
2) is it better to go on the 1st day? do they lower their packages on the last day? or same package lang all through out the duration nung expo?

thanks po!

[mama squeak!]

^Usually it's book and buy, cash or credit card. Sometimes they give you deadlines beyond the expo but not that often. Since puro promo ang offer expect na magkakaubusan yung mga cheapest rates until ang matitira yung medyo mahal na.

[meimei]

mga sis, kahit anong research ko sa internet, wala pa kong nakikitang booth layout nung Travel Expo sa Feb. pag may makita kayo, pa-share ng link ha! para makapagplano na ng strategy, hehe. pero in the meantime, has anyone seen a complete list of participants? sample list pa lang ang nakikita ko eh:

@Miss Charcoal, really? yung Travel Expo nung Feb 2012 ay until August 2012 lang ang nakita mong deals?? ganun ba usually?? sad... first-timers kasi kami ng mom ko. we're looking forward pa naman this Feb, mag-book sana kami for summer next year.. malabo kaya yun na mag-offer sila for summer next year? professor kasi ang mom ko so hindi siya makakapag-leave (unlike me) during off-peak season... kaya parating peak season ang family holidays namin...

[Miss Charcoal]

^Sis yun ang pagkakaalala ko. Last year (feb?) kasi nung pumunta kami, complicated ang sked ko (internship + make up duties + graduation + review + board exam) -- na plot ko na matatapos ko lahat yun ng mid-august.
Wala tuloy kaming napili kasi walang pasok sa sked ko.

Try nio na rin sis, kahit di kayo makapagbook, at least makikita nio kung ano pwede puntahan in the future.

[mama squeak!]

^^Usually sa mga expo sandalian lang yung validity and travel/booking dates na mga offer. They can not afford to give long time. Nag-iiba iba kasi ang season so mga rates iba-iba din. If you're looking at air fares naman, yung mga taxes depende sa government and sa fuel prices. So definitely di talaga pangmatagalan. Or if ever they will offer long time rates, expect mo meron mga embargo dates i.e. peak/holiday dates.

[engroselle]

hi! first time to attned po next week...
dun po sa mga naka-attend na dati, can you share kung sino yung mga agencies na consistently maganda ang rates/ packages?
sa laki kasi ng venue, i doubt ma-visit ko lahat yun and makapag-decide ng matino. hehe
thanks!

Planning to grab cheap flights to Europe or the US. Last year ba, how great were the promos by international carriers such as emirates, qatar, etihad, cathay, etc.? As in, malaki ba?

Hope it helps.

Sa mga nakapuntana before, mas maganda ba unahin puntahan ang mga airlines then compare mo price with travel agencies? Papupuntahin ko sana kasi parents ko dito sa US around june-sept and baka best chance ko at a good deal sa expo.
