    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 ;)


    Hi, just had a look at your post and thought i'd have a bit of a looksie for ya! I love trying to find cheap worldwide flights.Here we go anyway....

    London Heathrow 12th Dec - Seoul 17th Jan Return - Turkish Airlines £428
    Seoul 13th Dec - Palau 15th Jan Return - Continental £516 or £891 Business Class

    So in total, £944 for economy both ways or £1319 with part - Business Class.

    Hope this helps!

    Thank you! But as already stated, I've booked my flights. Bit gutted, as yours are quite a bit cheaper. I shall just have to console myself with the fact that maybe they are really bad flight times or something. Darn. :( Thanks anyway.
