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.

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.

I hope you can extend asking similar support to budget carriers for those travelling short distance like us.

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.
