Flying in the sky.

 I have been here ,the Philippines for almost 4 years. As long as there is a vacation more than ten days, I will be go back to my country. I miss China all the time, for sure. Not saying it is not nice in the Manila, but I do feel better when I am in my country at all. Everytime I have to take flight from the NAIA international airport to Beijing Capital International airport. I have flown with the Air China,the Chian Southern Airline,the Philippine Airlines and the Cebu pacific Airlines.
  Now,it is much more easier to book a airline ticket for us, because the airplane tickets are available online of those companies' websites I have mentioned before. Unlike at the beginning , you hava to book a airline ticket via telephone or mobilephone or you have to go to the office of theose companies, it was wasted time and complicated for the passengers. And why I am saying they are developing, at least in my opinion I think it is better, because if you want to pay for the tickets online, you have to hold a visa credit card for the payment,although it is the common way to buy a ticket online, but for those people who do not have a visa credit crad on hands, probably it is not a nice way to purchase a ticket from the website. But now, the services of those companies are much more completed, like the ways for paying the tickets not only limited with visa credit cards , but also you can pay them via online banking, Alipay, Paypal and even you may pay it trough the realistic payment center.
  I still remember that in the very begining I was a totally unfamiliar with buying a airplane ticket, I went to the office of a airline company, I picked up a number then felt in line, just wait for the calling before I can proceed to my counter to purchase the ticket.I waited about fourty minutes and finally I thought it was my turn, but my sequence was occupied by a Vip member of that company. And when it was my turn to make a order, I still need to show my passport and visa to the cashier, after they confirm the information of my documents, they let me to pay for it. It was such a conplicated processes and there are some uncertainty points make your time became longer than you thought. So compare with it, the online purchasing is better , just create your own account and fill out your personal information and your documents' information, then you could proceed to the ordering. Next you just need to login your account and select your name, select "I'm travelling" then you can just buy your ticket on your own. Pay for it via different ways that you want.

  Now,let me talk about the airlines' companies. For the Air China airlines, they are using Boeing 737-800 airplane for the travelling from Manila to Beijing, ofcourse it is the same airplane for the travelling from Beijing to Manila. Usually they have free carry on bagage and free maximum twenty kilograms baggage allowance for each passenger, they provide one meal for each passenger and the schedule of the airlines always on time, no delay usually. The airline hostess are Chinese , there are videos of emergency exiting and safety instructions on the plane.The airline has business classes and economic classes, of course the business classes are fewer than the economic classes but better than them, and business classes' passengers got better services compare it with the economic classes' passengers.

  For the China Southern Airlines, they are using Airbus 320-321 airplane, the rest of the conditions are similar to the Air China. But thet have different schedules.Meals on the two Chinese airlines are Chinese stlye, with chopsticks and tea or coffee is available, the others like juices, softdrinks , it is up to you.

  For the Philippine Airlines, they are also using the Airbus 320. The airline hostesses are Filipinos. Meals on the plane are more or like the Philippine style, corned beef, roasted chicken and with tropical fruits. Breads, with coffee, butter and the only choice of yours is to use spoon and folk.

  The most times I flied with is Cebu pacific airlines, because it has the lowest fare. Cebu pacific always promote the fares ,they created a lot of discounts for atrracting the customers fly with them in order to keep the competitiveness up. They are using somehow the smaller airplane than the other airlines above. They don not have business classes, no video instructions on the plane but instead of it, the airplane hostesses will perform how to use the emergency exit tools and there is paper safety instructions.I do not book meals with Cebu pacific cause it also save a little money from it and I saw the other passengers do not book neither.
  Whatever which airline was going to chose, the most important thing is to have a nice and safe trip .
