i know k-1 is technically a non-immigrant visa.... but if i remember it right, i think i read some posts before saying that they were able to get a "first time immigrant" discount from travel agencies.

anyway, i went to my travel agent today (Flights R Us, De La Paz Pasig City) and she said she knows that k-1 visa is granted this discount... however, PAL rejected one of their clients with k-1 visa just yesterday. She volunteered to check with other airlines but i said dont bother because i really want a direct flight via PAL.

so..... can k-1 really be granted this discount? :huh:

by the way, rates in Flights R Us are relatively cheap (i think)! If i get my online ticket directly from PAL, i need to pay $1077 (ticket + taxes). but this travel agency is giving it to me at $729. for those getting first time immigrant visa discount, it's $654.

Hi Jhen!!! Usually PAL promos are good only for MNL-LAX/SFO/LAS...and it depends on the travel period and ticketing period...Airlines who offer promos have ticketing period that up to this date only and u will travel this certain period...I can help you for that if u like to since I am working in a travel agency...Shape got her ticket in the travel agency where I work...

Just PM me...Good luck!!!!!!!

That's a good price!!! Btw, what is your POE?
