How much does a $7 filght to Singapore really cost?


Parker booked us $7 fares to Singapore BUT after a million charges, the tickets cost $60 each.

Also, the day before we left the Philippines, we realized we were flying out of Clark Airport which is 2 hours out of Manila.

-$7 fare
-$53 in charges
-$3 taxi ride
-$12 bus ride (2hours)

-Woke up at 5am.
-30 minutes in taxi.
-2 hours on the bus.
-5 hours of waiting at the airport.
-Arrived in Singapore at 5pm.

A total of $130 and 12 hours of travel time.

Was it worth it?

For us yes, we are on an open schedule. It was inconvenient but we are not in a hurry. If you are on a time frame, we would suggest looking into super discount fares more closely.
