Tiger airways of Singapore is a budget airline with very low fares, but I had a problem about changing a reservation. First of all, they dont have email address where you can contact them, but only phone number and if you call from outside Singapore it will be expensive, because it will take 10 to 15 minutes just to get a live person on line to help you. They claim to have website where you can make changes to reservation, but I had bad experience with that. The website had error messages and I had to change reservation real fast, so made a new reservation and notified by mail about this and requested refund for first reservation. I also notified the credit card bank about this but they did not give refund and I ended up paying for reservation that I did not use, a loss of about US $200 !! Even though I made a substitute reservation !!! Are there any other members with similar complaints or is there a way to open top management's eyes about this unfair trade practice? They have strict policy of no refunds and that is understandable but if they have problems on their website then they should be considerate.

Is it required?

If you're visiting the Philippines on a tourist visa, do you need to present a roundtrip ticket when you get to the airport?

Hello there!

I will be travelling to Yap and Palau in August, and I would like to visit Manila for a few days too! I plan to be there end of August/beginning of September, but I'm worried about the typhoon season. Is it really bad at that time fo the year? Thanks for your help.

Hi Everyone,

Does anyone knows a cheap hotel near the baywalk. Our budget is 1300-1500 per night. Already tried Iseya the last time but we wan't to try a different one this time so that we can choose which one to go everytime we want to go to the baywalk and stay at that hotel overnight. Help please!

Thank you!

Stayed at the Renaissance last time I was in P.I. Loved how close it was to all the shopping but for the price, didn't need the room (we never used it, only as a place to sleep).

Can anyone recommend a makati hotel right next to the shopping malls but also for a decent price, i'm looking at under $90 dollars per night max. Thanks

I will arrive at the International terminal of Manila Airport and need to change to Centannial Terminal 2 for Philippine Airline. How to go and how much time it take for all the transit.

Need information for economical transportation from Manila airports to Clark airport. All information will be greatly appreciated.

I am planning to settle in Phillipines later this summer; what are good cities to settle in Phillipines with nice weather and amenities? Would welcome suggestions about pros and cons of living in this country, rental (apartments) information (professional rental agencies etc in Manila and other major cities), general cost of living and standard of life, medical facilities etc. Is there Dish TV like service there for US tv Channels?

I need a double occupancy room in Manila in any area, not too far from airport, for ten nights starting on 11th May 2007. I am not too fussy about luxury, but it has to be a clean room with clean bathroom etc., and TV with US channels (CNN etc.). The one with internet access will be preferable but not very important.

can someone describe the girlie bars and is it usually men with money who go to them thanks.... Annette

My American boyfriend went to Manila to visit a friend. Everyone is telling me that the Manila women are going to be throwing themselves at him. Is it really that way there? Will the women be all over him. thank you for answers..annette

Hi, does anyone know how far the Heritage Hotel is from downtown Manila, and how much this would be by taxi?

Thanks

Hi!

I'm self-employed (I self-publish my photo books) and plan to take long vacation in the Philippines. I'd like to stay there about a year.

Problem is: in order to rent a place, most brokers/agencies ask to pay by signing pre-dated checks and it seems very unlikely, not to say impossible, that I can open a checking account in a local bank as I won't even have alien resident card.

Does anyone know of a hassle-free way to rent a not too expensive (let's say 15/20,000PHP) condo or appartment in metro Manila, preferably Makati?

Thanks for helping me

I am 50 and will be traveling to the Phillipines on the 23rd of April and have never been there before. Could you give me some ideas of what to see ( I want to go diving)and how I might meet someone to be my guide for a week and pal around with. I'm 50 in great shape, have traveled all overe the world and love to make people laugh... Got any suggestions??

I have an 11 hour layover (1pm -12am)and I have a few questions
I'm arriving via phillipean airlines from vietnam and travelling to korea, via Korean airlines.
I arrive terminal 2 and depart terminal 1

1) do I need to pick up my luggage or are my bags checked all the way through?
2) how do I get to terminal 1 from terminal 2
3) is there a close hotel near terminal 1 or 2 for a day stay?
4) Is there anything I should worry about? I've heard many things about exthorsion, people stealing from luggage etc...
5) What are your general recommendations? I'm just looking to stay at the hotel then check back in for my flight at teminal 1 for 12am.

Please help my flight is tomorrow...

I'd like to know if it would be possible to get a decent hotel in the makati area for less than 5,000 pesos a night, and if so, is it possible to get a room at around 12 am. (my flight arrives at around 1130 pm). And if not in Makati, where is a place in that proximity that i could find?

I'll be in Manila this summer & would like to visit some of the sights (historical places, churches, etc.) to take photographs. While I'm sure I could find my way around by myself, I thought it might be easier if I could find a guide who knows their way around the city. If anyone knows of someone or has any suggestions for finding someone, I'd appreciate it.
