Continental Travel Service

Dad: «I’m so lonely. My girls live so far from me.» *guilt tripping*
Mom: «Darling, it’s going to be my 60^th birthday. Do you think you can come home for my party?
Translation: «Get your butt home or we’re going to be really hurt even if we say we’re fine.»
When you’re parents say go home, you go.

I’ve been putting off buying the tickets just because I couldn’t find any good pricing online. Good thing I held off coz I got a really good deal. I found just one cheaper price online — cheaper by $ 50 but that’s fine.
I don’t really look at the newspapers restaurants have in their waiting area. Good thing PC does. Knowing I had a trip coming up, he pointed to their ad.
Hmm. $ 790 for LAX — MNL? Sounds good to me! Normally I pay $ 1500 — $ 2100 for a roundtrip ticket but the price is also because of my travel dates. I know the airlines drop their rates around the time of my next travel but $ 790 really sounds good.
I finally made the call and was assisted by. Sorry but I forgot her name. She got the dates I wanted, asked if I had any preferred time (none) and then checked if they have any availability. I was placed on the wait list for my chosen dates but I got a call back 2 days later for confirmation. Sweet. Gave my CC info over the phone and now I’m set. Now I’m looking at my itinerary and making more plans to travel from MNL to the southern part of the Philippines where my parents live. My butt will hate me for all the sitting I’m going to do. Oh, well.
Overall, I liked the fast and friendly service. Certainly a good find.
Ladies, if you’re taking birth control pills, make sure you walk around every few hours while on a intercontinental flight (usually 11+ hrs). Same goes for people with history of blood clots. Better be safe than sorry.
