Plans changed my man will not be able to pick me up sad.gif . He can not be off of work.... c'mon DHS for just a few days give my fiance days off to pick me up! mad.gif Anyway, anyone knows where we could get direct flight to Detroit?

I know i asked about cheap tix the last time... i going nuts wacko.gif



Thank you.


I have never seen a direct flight from Manila to Detroit searching from the US. Someone here claimed to have found one searcing from the Phils. I don't know why there would be a difference where you are searching from.

I sure would like to find one. Not having a layover in Japan or Hong Kong would make the trip much better!


me either. usually its las vegas, san fran or LA that has direct flight from phil and its usally PAL too... i have a friend who's living in detriot (or 20 mins away from detriot to be specific) and her option was a connecting flight from narita airpot (japan)... then head to detriot. so manila-narita-detriot
thats better than having two connecting flights like mine before lol (manila-hk-san fran- then denver as my final destination)... have a safe flight!!! God bless


I have never seen a direct flight from Manila to Detroit either. I don’t think we will ever find it. The best price I could find was one layover of Manila to Taiwan, then Taiwan to Los Angeles on EVA Airlines for $702.00 total. Then you can get an inexpensive direct flight from Los Angeles to Detroit on Spirit Airlines for about $160.00 total.

Personally I think Davao City is a very nice place to live. Davao is one of the safest cities in the Philippines having a Mayor who does not tolerate criminal activity. But besides being safe, Davao is clean, well run, and with good medical facilities. Davao has all the amenities like malls, sporting facilities, and nice restaurants. There are nice beaches just a 20 minute boat ride away on Samal Island. Also the cost of living in Davao is much lower than in cities like Manila and Cebu.

Once you decide on where you want to live, I suggest that before buying a house or property to build on, if possible go there for at least 2 months and rent first. Acclimate yourself, take your time, and look around before making your decision.

Just few reasons,

1. Unless you are using the EURO dollar, the US dollar is losing value...and it seem to keep on going down..so you exchange rate maybe not be as good you think it will be...now down to almost 45PHP from almost 60PHP just few years ago.

2. The idea that the cost of living is less there, is just a illusion....as soon you start to make your standard of living similar or close to what you have been used to for all these years, then you will notice that is actually more expensive.
So you may have to learn on on giving up on certain perks...


3. Make sure you are in excellent health...your body immune system will be exposed to some stuff that was not used before...LOL

4. Get used to the weather, food and other things that may be funny while you are on vacation but may get on your nerves when dealing on a daily basis....

In short, it all new culture/lifestyle....if you get used to it...you may actually enjoy it !!!!!!



Yes of course the cost of living depends on one’s personal budget and lifestyle. I was just speaking in general terms in comparing the cost of living of Davao in relation to only the cities of Manila and Cebu.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsany advice about NOA1 if when we can have it????
Hello awesomepinay,

I also sent our K-1 packet registered mail on 9/16/08. No return slip from post office and no NOA1 yet, but my check did clear the bank on 9/22/08. I guess sending the packet registered mail does slow things up a lot.
