Hey everyone! I'm getting on starting a thread the day after I returned. No procrastination here. There is a bit of background to this story. Back in August or September, Emirates Airlines had a contest on Facebook regarding their new route to Clark, Philippines. They asked the question 'When will Emirates Airlines start flying to Clark?' You had three choices, so I looked it up and replied.
In October I was in Toronto with my friend and I got an email from someone at emirates, but it was really vague and I thought it was spam. TBH I had forgotten about the contest. After a few emails back and forth, the contact from Emirates told me that I was the winner. I was so pumped!
My letter said that I officially won on October 27th and I had to take the flight within three months of then, so January 27th. This worked out really well because I was hoping that I'd be able to go to Thailand when my mother and stepfather are there.
So, bonus, my flight to Bangkok was from Manila rather than Dubai, so it was far cheaper. I'll go more into that later. First up, Clark Airport and Manila.
So green. You really appreciate this when you live in the desert.
This was really interesting - a flying eye hospital. I saw these planes at Clark and at Manila airport.
I've NEVER seen an airport show such respect for passengers' luggage like this. I just had to take a shot.
One of their affordable transport options. I was on a bus from Clark to Manila and I got out in Makati near my hotel.
