check both places and then make your decision... you are not obligated to buy if you do not like what you see....

YMMV

depends just luck and timing when there are sales when my wife flew korean to dfw texas we used a travel agency near the embasy on roxas blvd they give you a discount for k-1 visa too.... the contact information is:

manila intl travel and tours

ste 102 a ermita center bldng

1350 roxas blvd

ermita manila phone 5222809 and 5219370

they gave us good service and they were the largest travel agency around also they are walking distance from the embassy. if you ask for a quote from them don't forget to mention the k-1 fiance discount

So you are from bohol? my wife is too. she was raised in tugas. We live in dfw texas area as well about 30 minutes away from dallas. What part of bohol do you live?

also. check out korean air for dallas they have only one connecting flight where if you use eva cathay or others you will have at least 2 more connecting flights....

dfw airport has only one asian airline carrier korean

the routes are manila to incheon (south korea) to dfw airport if you are leaving from ninoy aquino international airport

if you are leaving from cebu the routes are cebu to incheon (south korea)to dfw airport

see that's very convenient worth checking out. good luck

you have to actually book the ticket at a Philippine travel agency or one in the US that have a link to one in Philippines. It is cheapest to go thru agency a good airline is Korean Airlines. And they have specials for first time immigrant fare. Good luck

I sent Claudeth money to buy her ticket in CDO. She got it for about $150 cheaper than anything I could find online or using an agent.
