wife returning/follow up/Mango tours

3 years ago

It's very difficult to return to the Philippines at this time. Just like I mentioned previously Cebu is the best port of entry.

We went through all kinds of problems but my wife is now in Tacloban with my son assisting her sick mother who is in her last days of life in diabetic septic shock.

Eva air was the best flight to get to Cebu. They have now cancelled all transits through Taiwan for one month. My wife is stuck without a return flight. She needs to be back at work by June 14th. I had to purchase an additional one way flight for her and my son on PAL.

We used Mango tours for the Eva Air ticket. The price was good but the service is questionable. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. You don't have direct contact with the company. It's very risky. You are better off buying through the airlines or a well known travel agency and if necessary pay more. {'ve been trying to ask them how I'll get the money reimbursed but I haven't gotten a good answer yet other than in 6-8 weeks.

I'll be glad to give all the details regarding actual requirements, vaccinations necessary and quarantine if someone is interested. I know exactly because we went through it. I say we because I handled most of the things, so I know the procedures and headaches
