hi, i am not sure on where is your destination and the price in expedia. In my case, that travel agency quoted me a price of $747 (including US travel tax and PI tax travel) and on the other hand, some agencies quoted me $880 - $900+

so i can really say that they are cheaper compare to others.

I asked them the payment process. Ida (the staff i talked to) told me that for us (customers) to have the security about our payment to them is that we can give a $50 down payment which we will be paying them thru bank. once they confirmed our payment, then they will start booking for our ticket. they will phone us once our ticket has been booked and will give us the record locator. we can then verify our booking to the airlines using that record locator. after we verify our booking then we can send the rest of the payment and they will send the ticket via courier to our home address.

i went to St. Raphael travel agency last Sat to purchase my ticket. The people there are accommodating. They even called up PAL to ask if I can get first time immigrant discount but unfornately PAL did not allow it. The only thing I did not like about that agency is that when I called up last Fri the ticket price is only $695 but when I paid, the ticket is already $760 (compare to $703 of Reli Tours) because the agent made a mistake in giving the quotation. good thing they accept credit cards because i did not bring enough cash that time. had i known that their price is more expensive i would have gone to Reli Tours instead pero anyway charged to experience na lang. guys be more careful na lang in dealing with travel agencies kase feeling ko sinadya nila yun para pagdating ko dun wala na akong choice. ayoko na din kaseng maghanap and mas mura naman ung charge nila kesa sa expedia.com so binili ko na. naconfirm ko na din sa PAL yung ticket # ko and okay naman.
