If you are lucky Cathay Pacific goes on sale, roundtrip Manila-Hong Kong
only costs 7,000-8,000.

The cost difference is already very minimal, and
discount codes can push
the cost down lower than with Cebu Pacific’s “sales”. As it is, Cebu
Pacific is now charging P10,000 minimum for flights to Hong Kong from
Manila during the Wikimania timeframe (August 6-12), and that’s excluding
other fees. Philippine Airlines is already charging P11,000, with
everything included. So no, Cebu Pacific is not cheap. In fact, Cebu
Pacific is only “very” cheap when you buy their tickets *well* in advance
(as it is, they’re selling tickets this year for travel next year!).****

I suggest to use Cebu Pacific Air, very cheap from Philippines to HK.

Hello, ****

We would like to know how we can get a discount code on Dragonair or any
carrier for flights within the conference period? Manila or Clark to Hong
Kong.****

The DC organisers havent done a good job of providing useful
information or services to other chapters.
When scholarships are announced close to the event, e.g. like WM 2012,
the flights are very expensive. Donor money is wasted. When do you
expect registration will open?
Also if WMAU chapter is providing scholarships, it would be good to
know how much discount Cathy Pacific provide, so we can check the
discounted price means they are the cheapest carrier, e.g. compared
with Qantas. If we can get cheaper rates, it means we can send more
people.****

Well, the mechanism will work similarly as DC
this year
that when you registered the conference, you will receive a discount code
then you can buy from the Cathay Pacific website with discount
that's generally how the thing work
actual procedure may be a little bit difference
so we will keep you posted
(as actually I talked about the bid and the offer we got with DC team in
Berlin
and they pick up and do it)

is there someone who will be looking at/organising bulk flight
discounts with carriers who service many countries in this region?
we should try to estimate numbers of attendees from each country.
