There was an issue before with Expedia regarding their partner hotels especially the small ones claiming small hotels are always full therefore forcing the customers to book on more expensive ones. I just don't know if they do this with airlines. Hopefully not. As it's price competition.

I Used Vayama and Travelocity when looking for cheap flights though in the end will not use their service and just directly book from The airline itself. Like my ticket, used Travelocity and got a ticket for $900++ only and booked directly using Delta website.

They can't do this with airline tickets since they don't have control of airline availability and inventory...hotels on the otherhand are a different story

jayann & jay that's a good deal 769 US dollars one way Manila-Taiwan-NYC...though I remembered when I had flown with EVA air in 2009, there was a layover of 6 to 8 hours in Taiwan....and the free check in luggage was 20 kilos.

I find EVA air to be the best. I've been flying with them since 2005. Love their mileage program also..my last 2 trips to the Philippines I only paid $1209.60 for Elite class and had a very comfortable seating.

found out UNITED airlines having a good deal next month.

"LOVE is a journey. We walk through life, found each other along the way and stayed inlove. And the best thing is being MARRIED to the person you love and accepting that the future will unfold itself while the two of you still bonded by the same word everybody called LOVE. A love that says "Let God be God"

Try EVA Air great airline goes from Manila-Taiwan-NYC. One way tickets are $769 on a weekday. If you buy online just make sure he calls EVA Air to let them he will be purchasing it for you and he is not one of the travelers so you won't have problems at the check-in.

Hi,

My Fiance booked me a ticket thru EVA Air. When he visited me a couple of weeks ago, I got his passport and credit card copy with his signature, would that works?

N-400 (Online - Seattle Field Office)

(00days) 2018-10-01 Filed ONLINE - received Payment Confirmation the same day - paid by Credit Card

(04days) 2018-10-05 Received NOA by mail

(05days) 2018-10-06 Received email - Biometrics appointment is scheduled

(09days) 2018-10-10 Check my online account and my Biotmetrics Notification is attached and available

(11days) 2018-10-12 Biometrics (fingerprinting) completed - Walk-in no problem; saved 2 weeks (Original appointment date is Oct. 26)

(436days) 2019-12-11 I am US Citizen now!!!

Hi,

My Fiance booked me a ticket thru EVA Air. When he visited me a couple of weeks ago, I got his passport and credit card copy with his signature, would that works?

When we booked, they wanted her to bring a copy of my ID and the CC. I just copied front and back of both on one sheet, and emailed it to her. No problemo...

I just called EVA Air and they said no problem...she just needed her ID that matches the airline ticket information and she is good to go !! She will have the other documentation with her also, just in case.... :-)

Hope she has a safe flight. Sign up for their mileage programs. Its great. You get seat upgrades when you have accured mileages so you don't get stuck sitting in Economy when you go to the Philippines :)

I just found out that if I booked direct with EVA Air, then the requirement when checking in with a ticket purchased by someone else is different than if you have booked through a travel agency.

If booked through a travel agency, online...etc, they only require your regular passport and ID for checkin that matches your ticket information.

If booked direct with the airline, it looks like you would have to prearrange permission from the airline or the person could be denied passage at the airport.

Best to check with your airline to make sure what their requirements are.

Cheers,

cjmc
