PHILIPPINES: Upcoming TP Special Trip!

Here at Travel Pangea, there's almost always a plan in the back of our heads somewhere for a visit to our favorite TINY island in the world - Club Paradise in the Philippines! In the near future we'll be planning our third trip out to this island Eden where amazing scuba diving, pristine beaches and water, dugong (sea cow) watching, sea turtle feeding, delicious buffet meals, great cocktails, and dirt cheap fantastic massages are all part of a hard day's work!

This trip is always a favorite for divers AND non-divers - so much to do - or just do nothing at all in the most beautiful tropical setting you could imagine!

If you are interested in visiting this exotic and secluded island paradise, get in touch with us!

Coming Soon: AirAsia Japan

Travel Pangea is excited about new airline partnerships in Asia that will benefit our travelers!

ANA Group (All Nippon Airlines), Japan's largest airline, and AirAsia, the world's best low cost airline, announced that they are teaming up to form AirAsia Japan, a new low-cost carrier. This is great news for budget travelers in Asia, as Japan is typically an expensive place to fly to/from Southeast Asia.

AirAsia Japan plans on flying from Narita International Airport (Tokyo's main airport) starting August 2012, and will be the first low-cost carrier there, serving both domestic and international destinations. Narita is adding a new terminal, hoping to attract more foreign airlines, especially low-cost carriers!

ANA has been looking to get into the low-cost market for a while, and decided partnering with an existing successful low-cost carrier is the best way to do it. At the same time, AirAsia has been rapidly expanding and hoping to push further into the Japanese market.

This partnership may be fruitful for both ANA and AirAsia, but if it succeeds, it will most definitely be helpful for Travel Pangea's budget travelers looking to explore Japan and Asia!
