I reserved for our Filipina maid to go home for Christmas. I discovered that the OFW passenger type is for few KDs of discount on the ticket price, which I didn’t mind.
no discounts, both prices are the same https://248am.com//images/2018/09/ticketprice.jpg
To exempt the OFW to certain travel tax in the Philiipines. 🙂
Is for terminal fee exemption for leaving PH airports.
Nannies
so teenagers will have discounted rates than adults?
Always been that way on most airlines. Its called ‘youth fare’ and usually goes up to age 21.
Maybe they have a different fare? Possibly to compete with the fact that ’employers’ would book the cheapest possible ticket no matter how many layovers were involved.
+1
+ 1 Million 🙂
There might be extra steps or procedures involving certain nationalities.
I think they have a specific fee waived for them due to an agreement with the gov’t something like that.
I recently bought a ticket for a lady working in our household and realized that a small fee (1-3 kd range) got waived when I clicked on the Philipino overseas worker
i just checked, its the same ticket price https://248am.com//images/2018/09/ticketprice.jpg
Maybe a special Kabayan friendly menu or meal plan ?? 🙂
first you wanted expats to get deported rule for E lanes and now you want a special meal plan?
Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) are exempt from the International Passenger Service Charge (LI Tax) upon presentation of an official LI tax exemption document.
so where to get the “LI” tax exemption document?
It’s because OFWs have to pay some kind of departure tax once they present an Overseas Employment Certificate. It’s also on the Philippines Airlines website, no discrimination involved.
i swear this airline gets dumber by the day,
seriously who singles out a race of people as a separate category.
I know we all love bashing Kuwait and anything to do with it, but this term is actually used in the Philippines, they even have OFW cards. Just a little google peepz :>
