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) On Thu, May 3, 2012 at 10:17 AM, John Vandenberg <jayvdb(a)gmail.com> wrote:

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. On Thu, May 3, 2012 at 12:20 PM, Jeromy-Yu Maximilian Chan <yuyu(a)wikimedia.hk> wrote:

I suggest to use Cebu Pacific Air, very cheap from Philippines to HK. On 2013/04/09 4:55, Butch Bustria wrote:

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!). Regards, Josh JAMES JOSHUA G.

If you are lucky Cathay Pacific goes on sale, roundtrip Manila-Hong Kong only costs 7,000-8,000. Roel On Tue, Apr 9, 2013 at 10:17 AM, Josh Lim <jamesjoshualim(a)yahoo.com> wrote:

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!).**** ** ** Regards,**** ** ** Josh**** ** ** *JAMES JOSHUA G.

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.**** On Thu, May 3, 2012 at 12:20 PM, Jeromy-Yu Maximilian Chan <yuyu(a)wikimedia.hk> wrote:

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) On Thu, May 3, 2012 at 10:17 AM, John Vandenberg <jayvdb(a)gmail.com>

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. -- John Vandenberg _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-asia-chapters mailing list Wikimedia-asia-chapters(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-asia-chapters
