I usually get my tickets online, but in this case I'll do what was suggested and book via the airline directly I know it'll prob be lacking any special rates but oh well, thats what my tax return is for!

Oh thats cool I did'nt think I could do that, for some reason I thought they would'nt let me get a ticket for someone not in the U.s. but hey thats cooL!

I called Northwest ticketing and asked for 1 round-trip (me) and 1 one-way on the same flight coming home (her).

We're starting to think about these kinda things seriously now, even though there's still many months to go obviously.

For those that travelled to the Philippines from the USA in order to fly back with your loved one, how did you go about getting the tickets sorted out so that your booked together for the return flight ?

Any advice or methods that worked?

Thanks

Oh thats a really usefull thing, thanks alot for the info!

When Claudeth went through she got her packet about a month before the interview. Check the following link at the beginning of each month. You should be able to get a feel where you are by comparing the case number. MNL2006XXXXXX - The first XXX is your julian date that the NVC assigned your case plus 500 and the last XXX is the order for assignment to Manila. Example: 2006502001 would mean that it was assigned on January 2nd and was the first assignment for Manila that day. Good luck
