Heading from Sydney to Manila for a work trip, I was concerned about keeping myself entertained for the 8-hour flight.

If I were on a budget, I would definitely fly Cebu Pacific again, but if I had a bit more financial flexibility I would opt for an airline like Qantas. It’s the little things like a blanket and slightly bigger seating that go a long way.
Preparation is key with Cebu Pacific, and you really get what you pay for. Doing your research beforehand will determine your own comfort. Understand any limitations the aircraft may have, and be sure to bring your own entertainment.

A smooth flight from start to finish with ample leg room and on-time flights. It was a shame about the breakfast, though.
A smooth, stress-free flight back to Sydney on a Sunday night.
It seems that “happy holidays” is more than just something to say at Christmas, with cheery staff and a quiet flight.
Although I’m a regular flyer on budget airlines, this time I got what I paid for. This Tigerair experience was full of delays and chaos, and was an overall unpleasant experience.
It was all smooth sailing to Melbourne for New Year’s with Tigerair (though the same couldn't be said about the Sydney public transport system).
We took Etihad Airways for a spin from Sydney to Manchester via Abu Dhabi to see how the 5-star carrier stood up. Here’s how we found the check-in process, entertainment, food and more.
With limited flight options from Sydney to Coffs Harbour, it pays to know what you can expect when you choose Virgin Australia.

The ins and outs of what it's like flying non-stop between London and Perth for just under 17 hours.
Looking for the best-timed flights for a weekend getaway landed me on a Jetstar flight, but how was it?
