With the onset of cheap and budget airfares, I think you can say that traveling by air is not only still the safest way to travel but the cheapest way as well. Of course, this statement is relative for the price conscious traveller.
Last year I was able to travel to Bohol, Boracay and Hongkong on budget airfares. I got a very good deal for 7 people's airfare to Tagbilaran, Bohol for only P11,000 sometime February 2010. Also, I got a great deal for a promo fare to Boracay (Via Kalibo) for only P2,400 good for 2 pax already. Meanwhile, our regular family out of the country trip to Hongkong was also a bonus since I only paid P16,000 for 4 pax's airfare.
Buying cheap airfare means you can spend your budget on some other items such as better hotels or "pasalubong" to your family and friends.
Next stop this August 2011 - Boracay (via Caticlan) for 4 pax for only P7,000. Quite a steal, don't you think?
