Thread: nonrev to Philippines from LA

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.
