Offers of cheap airline tickets to Manila or Cebu on highly discounted air-fares at wholesale prices are being offered periodically by airline companies through Asia Connection Travel. One may perhaps think that you get more affordable airfare tickets by online shopping than through a local travel agency, but in reality if the travel agent specializes in a particular destination, say only for the Philippines – they have access to wholesale airline tickets than online travel companies do.
But if you’re seriously searching for cheap airfares, there are some facts that you might want to consider:
Certain times about holiday seasons can be more expensive and crowded than what is normal for many types of commercial travel and hotel. In North America, this includes: the Wednesday prior to Thanksgiving holiday, the four days just before Christmas, the first business days following New Years. The holidays on their own and “shadow” times (like Dec 26) are sometimes very light.
If you are flying with your baby (a young child under 24 months) without a seat, it is typically free for domestic travel (travel within US and Canada). Nonetheless, the airline will possibly impose a special price for overseas travel. Check with your cheap airline ticket agent details and other documents that might be needed (like birth certificate).
Flying on lean season is another choice you have if time is not a priority. This is a favorite technique among students and young backpackers when considering an adventure travel to the Philippines.
The best months to inquire from an Asia Connection Travel agent about airfare questions is on February (if needing a ticket for December) and March to April (if you are traveling in the summer).
It is not advisable to inquire about cheap airline tickets for the months of December, part of June, July and August because those months fall on the most expensive months to travel to the Philippines. In any case just contact an Asia Connection travel agent for more information.
