they don't care what we think they treat us like animals

No, worse than animals - all the Dog needs is a rabies shot and $30. She can travel to Canada right away. Better if your wife is a dog.

And if any of you guys are getting tickets via the PAL website, I wish you luck. I booked my family's MNL-HKG-MNL flights today, and it was hell. It took me 12 tries to get 4 tickets, plus more than an hour on hold trying to talk to a customer service rep. The whole thing started at 9am, finished 4.30pm.

YEAH ! ! And don't go booking 'preferred legroom' seats either. You'll have to get very assertive and LOUD at the counter to get them to honour your PREPAID selection . . . Direct flight to Toronto ?!? Scheduled every second day but NEVER happens, always stops in Vancouver. And what airline ever started to weigh your "hand-carry luggage"?? THEY DO! Save your sanity and book elsewhere.

Why don't you try flight centre? They will beat any competitor's price by 10%.

how is your whole family flying to hong kong if you got PPR

It's everyone but me, Tagum, since I am in limbo. We all assumed that I'd get my visa before my medical expiration, but now we can't even count on that. How I wish I could book my MNL-HKG-YYZ ticket already *sigh*

When I get my visa (please please please) I'll book a Cathay ticket. I'd sneak in a layover in Hong Kong to shop and eat before heading to Canada! I dunno though, my husband said his carry-on was weighed in NAIA 1. He flew Cathay Pacific too.
