Bohol, Cebu, or my favorite, Borocay. Planning a trip to Bohol now. Cheap, nice people, beautiful beaches, good snorkling.

NRT to MNL, spend the night, get up in the morning and take PIA-Express or Cebu-Pac to the closest island airport. Coming back you can go through NGO if NRT not looking so good. Inter-Island, pack light. The local airlies have gone all "Ryan Air" and charge nearly nothing for your ticket (think my last ticket was $8 with a $95 bag fee, it's nonsensical, but that's the PI's, the land of not quite right, but fun)

Some of our customers have VISA issues because we hub in NRT. It usually knocks few passengers off the airplane, making for better Non Rev opportunities than what it looks like.

My wife and I did 2 weeks in Borocay and took Cebu out of Manilla. Had the same circumstance as you did. Paid way more for 2 rollerboards than the actual ticket. Supposedly if you pay the online bag fee when booking the ticket, it is a lot cheaper than paying for the bag at the airport. We also got ripped off when we landed since we didn't know about taking the tuk tuk to the docks and paying separately for the ferry over to Borocay. We paid some guy a fixed cost to take us from the airport to the hotel. Was about 5 times the cost of buying all the transfers separately. We did it the right way on the way back. Also for those of you who want to go through Manilla, give yourselves plenty of time. Takes forever to get to the gate. The loads when we went were 30 up front and -55 in coach. Don't be discouraged. Lots of no shows there. All non revs got on.

Cheers

My wife and i went to Palau on DAL's second flight in there and it is still the best snorkeling / diving I have seen. Very large amount of sea life and sunken world war 2 relics and such. Also don't miss jellyfish lake. Millions of jellyfish that can't sting anymore caught in saltwater lake and you swim through them. Google it. One of the craziest places.

As far as accommodations, we rented a 1 bedroom apartment their on the island complete with kitchen and all for about $60 a night (even included a hot cooked to order breakfast every morning). Also rented a car as there are some great out of the way hikes and swims on the less populated areas of the island. Went with Sam's tours as well, good outfit! I will definitely go back again.

And then when I checked in I was told, "Oh, you didn't have to do all that. We pick up crewmembers at the terminal"

Please file a hotel FCR and cc your reps.

Can you PM the deets on the apartment

Agree with XtremeF150 on Palau. The hike into the waterfalls featured on Survivor is also worth it, if you rent a car. Sam's is great, have a brew and fish after snorkeling. The Palau DL hotel is also fine.

This is all temporary as the Airtrain has been down since the storm because of an electrical fire. They expect it to be down for another week or so.
