Qatar Airways Cheap Tickets to Philippines
In: Filipino Community|Philippines|Qatar|Qatar Airways|Transportation
28 Jun 2009I was told by my Qatar Airways employee friend that they have dropped the prices to their flights in the east. I went online to check the current prices and lo and behold! Cheap prices to the Philippines indeed! For example, an Economy Super Value Plus return ticket on July 30 from Doha going to Manila coming back on August 18 will only set you back for QR 2970 taxes included. I got mine a month ago for QR3700++.
My friend said that it was the Swine Flu scare that brought the prices down. In any case, better start buying those tickets if you intend to fly this month or the next coming months. I just made a quick search for a flight on September and returns on November and the price for the trip, including taxes, is just QR 2570. If you are not yet sure of the exact date of flight, you better get the Economy Standard Value 2 which permits changes to your date of flight. The ticket would cost you QR 2970 but would allow you to freely change you travel dates witihin 6 months.
This is the best time to buy those tickets!!!
2009 Holidays
3 May 2009Ah, about holidays, we are officially off for vacation in the first week of July when Xiane finishes her school as well as Mavis’. We’re off to Malaysia the week after we arrive and a week after that, Mavis and I would be going to Bangkok! Yup, we’d be leaving Xiane with my mom and dad for 5 days. It’s actually my wedding Anniversary gift to Mavis since she has always wanted to go to Bangkok. And since the Malaysia Trip came up, I decided that a trip to Bangkok would be a good gift as any. By the way, it’s going to be our 8th wedding anniversary this May 5, Tuesday. We still intend to “celebrate” it on Thursday/Friday by watching “Wolverine” on the cinema and eating out. Happy Anniv! Going back to vacation, I’m due to be back in the middle of August while Xianelle and Mavis would probably be back mid- September (wink, wink).
