✈️ FLYING AROUND THE PHILIPPINES? 🇵🇭
Here’s what you NEED to know before booking 👀

Cebu Pacific, PAL, AirAsia or Sunlight Air?

Here’s my quick breakdown 👇

✈️ Cebu Pacific — Great for budget fares + tons of domestic routes. I usually start checking 4–8 weeks ahead.

🇵🇭 Philippine Airlines — Great when you want more convenience, baggage options and a full-service experience.

🔴 AirAsia — Always worth comparing with Cebu Pacific. Sometimes the schedule or promo fare wins.

☀️ Sunlight Air — Don’t overlook them! Great for select island destinations like Coron, Siargao, Boracay and Siquijor. Just check which airport you’re flying from.

💡 MY TIPS:
• Start looking 1–2 months ahead
• Book earlier for Christmas, Holy Week & long weekends
• Compare the FINAL price after baggage
• Check Cebu and Clark—not everything needs to connect through Manila
• Avoid tight connections between separate tickets
• Give yourself extra airport time

The cheapest ticket isn’t always the cheapest trip.

🇵🇭 3 reasons you should consider moving to the Philippines…

1️⃣ Your money can go further 💰
Housing, food, transportation, and everyday services can be more affordable depending on where and how you live.

2️⃣ The lifestyle is hard to beat 🌴
Live in a modern city like Manila and still be a short flight away from some of the most beautiful islands and beaches in the world.

3️⃣ The people & culture ❤️
English is widely spoken, Filipinos are known for their hospitality, and there’s always something new to experience.

I moved from California to the Philippines, and after living here for two years, I’ve learned a LOT about what it actually takes to make the move.
