nonrev to Philippines from LA

I'm going to Manila nonrev on Philippine airlines next month from LA. anyone have any experiences to share, advice? this will be my first international nonrev flight.

Hi. I havent done it before but I am hoping to in June. I was wondering how much you paid for your tickets...did you do ID90 or a ZED faire?

I nonreved from Beijing to Manilia recently. It was wide open. Trying to get out of Manila was very tough this time around for me. I left Manila via Continental Micronesia to Guam, and connected all the way to Houston. Philippine Airlines was booked to the states until the 29th of April. I just got back last week, left Manila April 22. Call them, and definately have some back up plans. I originally tried to connect via NORTHWEST on a Zed Fare but it was FULLY BOOKED. This was the first time NORTHWEST ever failed me as a nonrev flying into Narita from Manila. I would have never guessed my own Continental airline would take me all the way to Houston via MNL-GUM-HNL-IAH, and especially the GUM-HNL route. HNL-IAH was a tight one too and I think we got the last two seats on the plane. CALL PAL before you go to the airport and HAVE A PLAN B. Good luck.

I hear a ZED FARE to Manila/LA is roughly 89 bucks plus tax, so around 100 bucks. I would have gone on that one to San Francisco in a heart beat but they were fully booked when I tried.
