If your flying to the west coast then you should have the cheapest and most options of flights from MNL to LAX. Only issue I see is summer just started here so I am sure airlines have increased prices until September

Thank you I do hope the prices won't be over 1000 and tickets around 750 would be awesome

This is true. Cheapest fares are ranging from 700 - 800 nowadays. I tried looking for a cheaper fare and failed. Haha ended up using staff ticket.

I'd be very happy if I get to book that kind of price! What is a staff ticket?

Hi Everyone,

I just checked my status on the CEAC site and my visa says now "Issued".

So I am preparing to canvas for ticket prices.. what is the cheapest and safest airline right now? If everything goes smoothly I might leave end of June.

Any tips would be of great help.

Thanks!

Through data combed by Kayak, they have found that if you book 5 months ahead and travel on a Wednesday you will find the best prices for travel to Asia. Of course you can't use that bit of information when you don't know when you are getting your visa, but just for thought.

Other sites to check for fares:

https://www.google.com/flights/

http://www.kayak.com/

http://www.skyscanner.com/

http://www.seatguru.com/

https://www.hipmunk.com/

These are the people who write the software for most major air carriers that use for their reservation systems.

I often use the ITA Software Matrix, which is one of the most useful tools to search for available flights and low fares. ITA Matrix is awesome, in that you can type in all kinds of commands like which airline you want to fly, certain dates, specific airports and whether you will change airports to get a better price. After you click Search you will be taken to a calendar displaying the lowest fare departing each day. Clicking on a particular date will bring up the lowest prices departing on that date.

Unfortunately the ITA Matrix is only for finding airfares. You dont have the ability to book directly through this site. Write down the dates and flight numbers that work for you, and book directly through the airline site or online travel agency you prefer. I hope this helps.

I have been watching a non stop on Philippine Airline to San Francisco for $792 as I'll be also buying soon. I just checked and for LAX it is $900. I see the cheapest flight is $558 for the date I entered. That rate would require a stop over in Korea. If you find any good deals let us know.

I'll have to check out the consolidator also.

Got mine mla to lax for 565usd. Great deal!

[curiousgeorgina 52]

to everyone who has commented and given me tips, and have offered to help, I really appreciate this. I have seen asiana airlines, better review than the Korean Air I normally take, it has a stopover and some bad layovers but I have endured it and I'm alright with it if it happens..

Their tickets are around 500-600 usd.. and hopefully by the time I book it it's still the same price.. if not, Japan Airlines is my next choice and then PAL.

@Sir Greenbaum, that Matrix site is awesome!!! Really awesome! thank you.

AGAIN, THANK YOU!

nice!

how did you purchase the ticket for your F? through their website? or at a branch? I was wondering what their policy is regarding if the credit card used was of a relative and not a passenger..
