Onemore52 Posted January 29, 2022 Posted January 29, 2022 I just got off the phone with the agent at Qantas, so here is the plan. Shitney to Singapore with Qantas. In Singapore switch over to Jetstar to Manila, with the following exclusions:- my checked in baggage will be strictly limited to crapstars limits. No boarding pass issued In Shitney for the Manila leg, to be collected in Singapore . Because Qantas’ on line booking system doesn’t talk to Crapstars system the booking will have to be done over the phone, so that will not incur any charges because it cannot be accomplished online. And lastly, because it is done with the agent it will be on one ticket, so the checked in luggage will be transferred in Singapore to the crapstar flight. Now for a coffee after all that, and then onto both the Qantas and crapstar websites to check out what flights go when with a tolerable gap between flights. phew! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onemore52 Posted January 29, 2022 Posted January 29, 2022 Post script..I reckon with the number of flights to Singapore and their being sales on at the moment it could work out a couple of hundred dollars cheaper than Philippines airlines but without the lengthy lay over periods in places like KL. We will see. Yea 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did read changes, including this point is going to the Senate soon. My expectations is the 3 year term will be cut as they seem keen on long term foreigners to obtain more permanent visas 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy79 Posted January 30, 2022 Posted January 30, 2022 Just hearing some " UNCONFIRMED " reports that Italy is restricting travellers to the Philippines. Looking at the 15th of March and only for those that can prove they arein long term relationships, for workor in emergencies. Best to check with each Embassy to confirm. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When entering your data it asks for both your quarantine hotel info as well as the info about your final destination (where you’re supposed to self quarantine). I’m not sure if they’ll update or even require the OHP app once the entry rules change. They are for enter CDO. Most local governments have their own entry rules. The links are not for entering the Philippines but to move from one place to another. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what I would be worried about Jolly. The way I read it tourists don't need to do Q'teen anymore, and only have to have a test prior to boarding. My nightmare senario would be get to Manila,,,go to a resort in Batangas lets say where restrictions still apply since Manila is still category 3 and you need a current test to check into your hotel....

gabgab Posted January 30, 2022 Posted January 30, 2022 https://www.facebook.com/officialbureauofimmigration/posts/308585101309269 Looks like my initial concerns were correct about the EU vax certificate, they only accept certs from certain countries in Europe and there does actually exist a separate WHO certificate. Currently I cannot go in as a vaccinated person since my country is not on the list. Looks like I'll either have to wait or quarantine on arrival.

Unless cause trouble and make them look for a reason to kick you out, I would not worry about it. I entered with an Estonia-authored (not on the list) EU digital certificate just fine, they barely even looked at it beyond comparing my name. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy79 Posted January 30, 2022 Posted January 30, 2022 Looks like a few province areas are now going to level 3 just as Manila drops to level 2 which could hinder onward travel. Mindoro is one but I'm awaiting confirmation of the others. I caught a glimpse of them earlier but never took a screenshot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
