Thanks.

I doubt anyone will touch this, but, strangely enough I was looking at Palau earlier this week for work. I understand that the other Asian flights (Seoul, Tokyo) are charters and hard / near on impossible to book in the UK, so Manila and then the once/twice weekly flight to Palau on Continental is your best bet - but that flight, although short, is expensive. Focus on trying to get your Manila flight cheap - the only way of minimising costs from what I see

Maybe I'll go for it then.

Yep, currently being offered the route getting to Manila, and then to Palau with Continental. It's that last leg which seems very expensive - £799 return to Manila from London, so £300 for a short flight from Manila to Palau.

Palau for work - lucky you! What do you do? Maybe I need to change jobs!
