Skytrax Airline awards 2026

@Lotus Eater

Thanks for this information.  I wasn't familiar with Starlux and my U.S. destination is Phoenix.  I will keep this in mind.

I will by flying both Qatar and Singapore Airlines in November. Manchester to Phnom Penh and returning Manila to Manchester with Qatar Airlines. Phnom Penh to Cebu (single) with Singapore Airlines with a 12 hour layover in Singapore. I have also booked a one way flight with Cebu pacific as part of the return leg from Cebu to Manila with one night in the Belmont hotel before the onward flights back home.

You certainly know how to pic 'em CA. Your airline selection is good too..

@Cherryann01

The Belmont is an excellent Choice CA. Accessed via the best kept secret 'Runway Manila' at the side of T3. I shall be using the hotel for one night myself before flying down to Iloilo the next day. No need for taxis. No queues either to get into the terminal.

Thank you very much for the recommendation, I did want  to be within walking distance from the Terminal to avoid the rip off Taxis and to enjoy the wonderful facilities. I am not bothered about venturing into the city for my last night in the country, just want to relax, have a good meal, freshen up and get a good night's sleep before my flight home.

Like you know - My original plan was just to use Qatar Airlines for the whole journey and take advantage of their outstanding  stopover deal for a couple of nights. The ongoing war in the region impacted my decision, especially when considering travel insurance and the complications a stopover in Doha may have on any claim I may need to make should there be an issue.
