Here's the latest 6 day winter sale from Cathay Pacific http://www.cathaypacific.com/cx/en_GB/offers-from-london-to-manila.html Flights from GBP509 http://www.cathaypacific.com/cx/en_GB/offers-from-manchester-to-manila.html Flights from GBP529
I have to confess, Dave, me too! I know some rave about CX but based on my own experience - and that of my wife - I wouldn't rate them as one of the world's best airlines - from a passenger's pov.
It's a lot longer than a 6 day sale, book by 29 Feb. I might go for a 6th Dec flight and take some unpaid leave this year, don't have enough holidays left to do Christmas as well as April, I wish I was self employed again
