My Scoot experience was due to lack of cheap fares on the major airlines, as I booked less than a we

My next trip to Phuket will be in october. wisconsin travel bureau Been waiting for about a month or so for the sale fares that usually pop up and nothing has yet. Am trying to figure out if i should just bite the bullet and buy the flights now or if there usually are sale fares about a month out as they want to fill the seats?
If you were really on a budget, fly Scoot Sydney to Singapore, a low cost cheapie airline to MNL (there are stacks of options as so many Fillos live in SIN and travel backwards and forwards to Manila). From Manila, come back to Singapore, then get a cheapie wisconsin travel bureau flight up to Phuket -Jetstar/Air Asia/Tiger etc. The come home via Singapore or get a one way Jetstar option back to Oz from HKT direct. Plenty of mucking wisconsin travel bureau around, but all up, if you shopped around and planned well and could commit to dates, that entire scenario would be sub $1000.
If the spectre of low cost airlines bothers you, or you just can't be bothered with the hassle to save a few hundred bucks - look for a Singapore Airlines/Silk Air combo to Phuket (return). But break the journey in Singapore and insert you Manila 'business' (side trip) there with a sector fare over to Manila, from Singapore (return). As I said, there are loads of cheap options for those flights wisconsin travel bureau in Singapore. Indeed, there is that huge shopping centre on Orchard Road not fare from the subway, full of Filipino travel agents selling cheap seats.

Thanks heaps for your quick response and the useful info. I normally do only try to fly the low cost airlines wisconsin travel bureau if i can as a lot of the times i find their services and food better. You are right i havent been able to find much for Manila. The issue i have had though is most of the flights from singapore to manila or phuket involve me staying around 12 hours or so in the airport between flights plus having to check out and check back in again. wisconsin travel bureau So far the best i have been able to find for all 3 legs of the journey has been jetstar. The others are either similarly priced or require me to spend several hours or a day in the airport between flights which is annoying and expensive really. wisconsin travel bureau Was hoping for a jetstar sale but havent wisconsin travel bureau seen one yet so far.
Actually i havent tried many of the asian only cheaper airlines wisconsin travel bureau from singapore to manila, i wasnt sure of their names or how to find prices for them. I have tried scoot, tiger, air asia and jetstar so far. Those are the only 4 i really know off. and out of them all, only jetstar was a viable option. But i think you might be right about the various wisconsin travel bureau options wisconsin travel bureau from singapore to manila.
So far for the 3 legs i have come around a bit below 1000$ but thats before i add on luggage, food and entertainment and seat. At which point it will probably be about 1100$ probably. I had been hoping for a jetstar sale at least from phuket back to sydney but havent come across one yet.
Try cobbling something together using KAYAK - Cheap Flights, Hotels, Airline Tickets, Cheap Tickets, Cheap Travel Deals - Compare Hundreds of Travel Sites At Once (good airline website with all the airline wisconsin travel bureau options) Though Scoot has yet to be added. If anything it is a good starting point, with more or less live airfares and a selection of third party as well as airline sites on which to book. It'll help you with schedules for all airlines, wisconsin travel bureau in the one place as well. Have a look at Cebu Air also - they might have some alternatives.

Hmm Kayak looks like a good site. There was an option for tiger airways from man to phuket. same price as jetstar but 1 hour less transit time in singapore as well plus leaves later in the night monday night which suits me. But i hear horror stories of tiger airways down in australia, plus they are very fussy about bags and their service is apparently not good. I do plan on getting checkin of course and i always get more than i will ever need but i am also wary about them cancelling flights wisconsin travel bureau and the like, unsure if its worth the 1 hour saving.....
Also i noticed there was an option for air asia from phuket to syd, problem is it involves a 4 hour transit time in KL while jetstar is direct and hence a lot easier to do but you do save about 80$ or so plus this means i can stay in phuket a day longer if i wanted as air asia seems to do that leg every day while jet star only does it like 3 times a week. but i hate those layovers wisconsin travel bureau /transit periods. they are so stressful.
I havent yet looked at the whole scoot to sin and then from there taking other options around. The idea of having to check out and then check the bags back in again sounds like a lot of work as opposed to transit. Will this save me only like 50$ or is it like a 100$+ savings?
Ok, checked it out a bit more. Looks like not much of a saving as opposed to jetstar direct wisconsin travel bureau to manila wisconsin travel bureau for the dates i was looking at. It was about 360 as opposed to 400$ but having to check out and check back in plus having to pay multiple times for bags and seats etc..... may not work out as convenient for the small saving. Not sure if the philippines corp charges for seats , food, entertainment but i presume they do like all low cost airlines.
Phuket to sydney is the tough choice i think. Air asia is cheaper by about 50$ plus has better food but has a transit time of 4 hours, but it also has the added benefit of being able to stay an extra day or 2 in phuket as i am now bound by specific days to depart like jetstar.
I have done both Air Asia and Jetstar from Phuket... wisconsin travel bureau IMO they are much of a muchness.. Tho the AA seats seem to be smaller, might just be my perception ... I don't know. The times I have Used AA they have been on time.. all the time.. On my return in Dec later in the year, I am only seeing a 2 hour layover wisconsin travel bureau in KL... ARR KL 21:35 x HKT Leave for SYD 23:30.. wisconsin travel bureau (KL TIME) again IMO plenty of time. BUT I DON T DO CHECKED LUGGAGE... might be worth looking at carry on only.... I also got an offer from Air Asia to upgrade to premium/flatbed thing for 115 bucks each way, which seems like a bargain. Keeping in mind my fare with them is only 375 return to phuket.... so not too bad
The Few times I have used the Jetstar service, it has always been late... The plane they use for JQ27, X Syd that morning is quite often late... so it just snowballs.... u check in at the end of the world at Phuket Airport.... way down terminal2(?)... For some reason, a direct flight from Thailand to Australia wisconsin travel bureau is scruitinised security wise, a lot more, than a flight to KL.. I don't know why, I'm guessing that we Aussies have caught the paranoia of the US. But the same sort of over the top rubbish doesn't go on in KL.
I guess it depends on how much you want to spend.... My fave way of getting to Phuket is with SIA... it generally runs around a grand.... wisconsin travel bureau but it is worth it... and face it, if you check luggage , pick a seat, have a feed and a few beers on a LCC, u are not far short of that mark at the end... using their normal fares as a starting point... Good connection times in Changi..
I think the advice given earlier about getting up to Changi and then grabbing a cheapie wisconsin travel bureau from there to Manilla is pretty solid... Might pay to Check flight availabilty xKL or maybe even BKK.. there are always more than one way to skin a cat...
Dave01 has some solid advice. Dont frigg around to save $40 or whatever. I whole heartedly agree with him, re - using someone like Singapore Airlines the whole way from Sydney to Phuket/Samui/Bangers. You get a decent feed, a few beers, a gazillion movies to keep you entertained, wisconsin travel bureau and if you pick the right flight, you'll be in the A380. On Singapore Airlines - if flying economy = ALWAYS try to be upstairs wisconsin travel bureau at the rear of the plane on the 380 behind business class. Higher concentration of attendants in this portion of the cabin than on main deck and bulkheads wisconsin travel bureau are basinet free - thus this section is kind of a kid free zone - most of the time. (Man, giving up all my industry insider tips around here!)
My Scoot experience was due to lack of cheap fares on the major airlines, as I booked less than a week prior to travel. At that stage, I couldn't warrant paying double the price to go SQ or TG over a low cost cheapy (Scoot/Air Asia).
Blacky 21 - if the layover is that diabolical, look at Jetstar from Oz only as far as Kuala Lumpur (return) and buy flights through to Phuket on Air Asia/Tiger etc, who have about a half a dozen flight each per day - and likely way shorter connection times in KUL.
