Too bad for us, we’re from Cebu City.. We still have to purchase our own ticket from Cebu - Manila… So we decided a flight from Cebu - Hong Kong - Sydney… It is more convinient since we have a baby travelling w/ us…

I tried calling lots of travel agencies and we end up in Southwind Travel.. It’s the cheapest of all the travel agencies i enquired… they gave us US$550 rate each of the Adult and $257 for the infant.. Unluckily, they told us that we’ll have a 40kgs of baggage allowance, but after i purchased the ticket it was only 20kgs each of us adult! What the heck! I tried to argue w/ the agent… It felt like I was fooled…How could they not inform us that there are changes in the baggage allowance… It’s unfair! But anyway, the ticket was fully paid already.. no choice at all eh?

I still have to confirm w/ Cathay Pacific if they will add up the whole baggage allowance to a famiy travelling together.. any idea guys?

Some Airlines like Jetstar, PAL, Singapore Airlines also have a route to Australia…
