My friends say Im the Queen of online flight finding... and the problem is Canada is a tough place to start from!
If you can get to USA you might have a better chance to find a 'cheap flight'. But, if flying from Canada you will have fuel surcharges and tax etc which is what pushes your cheaper trips up.
Most bookings give you the option of 'oneway' trip, and occasionally that will be better for you- ie, get return with another airline, stay longer, but usually your best price is a return within 30-60 days.
Do you have airmiles you can use? Does your closest Fili embassy need a courier? Can you fit in a dog crate? wink

So mr Phoenix... what did u find? You never said what your budget was, if you could go from USA, and the other details. The 'standby flight' thing is verrrrrrrrrrry 1970s... look for budget/no frills/ taking the long route type flights... but remember - you get what you pay for with airlines - look also at KLM airlines, and Delta.

heart wings

Used purchase really cheap tickets in Thailand, recently i noticed really good ticketing being sold in Malaysia, thought i had bookmarked a site i thought offered really good deals, but seemed to have misplaced that site. However you Goggle Malaysian ticketing you might find some pretty interesting offers.

These three sites i just browsed you might like to to cast your eyes over them

yeah ..is that what it is if i go travel somewhere ...mail order..?

its the culture and the people ...and the food ...it sounds like your too good to travel to find a lover....what if he travels to you ...is he mail order... or if someone will send you a ticket ...are you mail order

im looking for a respectful woman who is not condescending... thats for sure....

thats why everyone tells me to go to filipines and find a filipina

teddybear

thanks for your thoughtful postwine

The culture and food then why not consider checking it out this way round:-


On this site (Bangkok)you can purchase Vancouver (YVR) one way Bangkok for Thai Baht $15000 one way, or return Vancouver\Bangkok\Vancouver for Thai Baht 24500 being a return ticket that is good for 12 months, Thai Baht 24500 converts to Canadian $764.94.
So after you've taking in the culture, food and respectful ladies etc, you can purchase a return ticket Bangkok to Manila in the Philippines Bangkok\Manila\Bangkok for:-
Manila (MNL) Kuwait Airways - KU
Direct flight - 10,660 1 month = Canadian $332.83
Direct flight - 13,740 3 months = Canadian $428.99
Direct flight - 18,600 return for 1 year costing just Canadian $580.73

One whole year looking about with your combined air fares paid right back to Vancouver and totaling just Ca$1345.67.
