Buoyant flight[ Main article: Aerostat An airship flies because the upward force, from air displacement, is equal or greater than the force of gravity Humans have managed to construct lighter than air vehicles that raise off the ground and fly, due to their buoyancy in air. An aerostat is a system that remains aloft primarily through the use of buoyancy to give an aircraft the same overall density as air. Aerostats include free balloons, airships, and moored balloons. An aerostat's main structural component is its envelope, a lightweight skin that encloses a volume of lifting gas[1][2] to provide buoyancy, to which other components are attached. Aerostats are so named because they use "aerostatic" lift, a buoyant force that does not require lateral movement through the surrounding air mass to effect a lifting force. By contrast, aerodynes primarily use aerodynamic lift, which requires the lateral movement of at least some part of the aircraft through the surrounding air mass. Aerodynamic flight[edit] Unpowered flight versus powered flight[edit] Main article: Unpowered flight Some things that fly do not generate propulsive thrust through the air, for example, the flying squirrel. This is termed gliding. Some other things can exploit rising air to climb such as raptors (when gliding) and man-made sailplane gliders. This is termed soaring. However most other birds and all powered aircraft need a source of propulsion to climb. This is termed powered flight. Animal flight[edit] Main article: Flying and gliding animals The only groups of living things that use powered flight are birds, insects, and bats, while many groups have evolved gliding. The extinct Pterosaurs, an order of reptiles contemporaneous with the dinosaurs, were also very successful flying animals. Each of these groups' wings evolved independently. The wings of the flying vertebrate groups are all based on the forelimbs, but differ significantly in structure; those of insects are hypothesized to be highly modified versions of structures that form gills in most other groups of arthropods.[3] Bats are the only mammals capable of sustaining level flight.[4] However, there are several gliding mammals which are able to glide from tree to tree using fleshy membranes between their limbs; some can travel hundreds of meters in this way with very little loss in height. Flying frogs use greatly enlarged webbed feet for a similar purpose, and there are flying lizards which fold out their mobile ribs into a pair of flat gliding surfaces. "Flying" snakes also use mobile ribs to flatten their body into an aerodynamic shape, with a back and forth motion much the same as they use on the ground. Flying fish can glide using enlarged wing-like fins, and have been observed soaring for hundreds of meters. It is thought that this ability was chosen by natural selection because it was an effective means of escape from underwater predators. The longest recorded flight of a flying fish was 45 seconds.[5] Most birds fly (see bird flight), with some exceptions. The largest birds, the ostrich and the emu, are earthbound, as were the now-extinct dodos and the Phorusrhacids, which were the dominant predators of South America in the Cenozoic era. The non-flying penguins have wings adapted for use under water and use the same wing movements for swimming that most other birds use for flight.[citation needed]Most small flightless birds are native to small islands, and lead a lifestyle where flight would offer little advantage. Among living animals that fly, the wandering albatross has the greatest wingspan, up to 3.5 meters (11 feet); the great bustard has the greatest weight, topping at 21 kilograms (46 pounds).[6] Many species of insects also fly (See insect flight). Mechanical[edit] Main article: Aviation Mechanical flight: A Robinson R22 Beta helicopter Mechanical flight is the use of a machine to fly. These machines include aircraft such as airplanes, gliders, helicopters, autogyros, airships, balloons, ornithopters as well as spacecraft. Gliders are capable of unpowered flight. Another form of mechanical flight is para-sailing where a parachute-like object is pulled by a boat. In an airplane, lift is created by the wings; the shape of the wings of the airplane are designed specially for the type of flight desired. There are different types of wings: tempered, semi-tempered, sweptback, rectangular and elliptical. An aircraft wing is sometimes called an airfoil, which is a device that creates lift when air flows across it. Supersonic[edit] Main article: Supersonic speed Supersonic flight is flight faster than the speed of sound. Supersonic flight is associated with the formation of shock waves that form a sonic boom that can be heard from the ground,[7] and is frequently startling. This shockwave takes quite a lot of energy to create and this makes supersonic flight generally less efficient than subsonic flight at about 85% of the speed of sound. Hypersonic[edit] Main article: Hypersonic speed Hypersonic flight is very high speed flight where the heat generated by the compression of the air due to the motion through the air causes chemical changes to the air. Hypersonic flight is achieved by reentering spacecraft such as the Space Shuttle and Soyuz. The International Space Station in earth orbit Ballistic[edit] Main article: Ballistics Atmospheric[edit] Some things generate little or no lift and move only or mostly under the action of momentum, gravity, air drag and in some cases thrust. This is termed ballistic flight. Examples include balls, arrows, bullets, fireworks etc. Spaceflight[edit] Main article: Spaceflight Essentially an extreme form of ballistic flight, spaceflight is the use of space technology to achieve the flight of spacecraft into and through outer space. Examples include ballistic missiles, orbital spaceflight etc. Spaceflight is used in space exploration, and also in commercial activities like space tourism and satellite telecommunications. Additional non-commercial uses of spaceflight include space observatories, reconnaissance satellites and other earth observation satellites. A spaceflight typically begins with a rocket launch, which provides the initial thrust to overcome the force of gravity and propels the spacecraft from the surface of the Earth. Once in space, the motion of a spacecraft—both when unpropelled and when under propulsion—is covered by the area of study called astrodynamics. Some spacecraft remain in space indefinitely, some disintegrate during atmospheric reentry, and others reach a planetary or lunar surface for landing or impact. History[edit] Many human cultures have built devices that fly, from the earliest projectiles such as stones and spears,[8][9] the boomerang in Australia, the hot air Kongming lantern, and kites. Aviation[edit] Main article: Aviation history George Cayley studied flight scientifically in the first half of the 19th century,[10][11][12] and in the second half of the 19th century Otto Lilienthal made over 200 gliding flights and was also one of the first to understand flight scientifically. His work was replicated and extended by the Wright brothers who made gliding flights and finally the first controlled and extended, manned powered flights.[13] Spaceflight[edit] Main article: History of spaceflight Spaceflight, particularly human spaceflight became a reality in the 20th Century following theoretical and practical breakthroughs by Konstantin Tsiolkovsky and Robert H. Goddard. The first orbital spaceflight was in 1957[14] and Yuri Gagarin was carried aboard the first manned orbital spaceflight in 1961. Class of travel Standard Economy Class fares offer the best value for money and often include benefits such as complimentary meals and beverages. Standard Economy Let's start with economy. Think every economy seat is the same? It's not. You'll find variations of up to eight inches in legroom and two inches in width across various airlines flying to and from Australia, just in regular economy class. Economy plus Moving up from economy, the first upgrade you find is the "extra legroom in economy" style of seating -- not the bulkhead or exit row seats, but just a separate section of the regular economy cabin with a few extra inches of space between each row. Economy minus Some airlines go the other way, though, packing an extra seat into every row in what we call "economy minus". And it's not just on the super-cheap low-cost carriers like AirAsia X. Premium Economy When you move up to premium economy you get better seats and service, usually including a better-than-economy menu for food and drink.  "Premium" class An increasing number of low-cost airlines are offering remarkably good seats in the pointy end of their jam-packed international flights, which isn't quite premium economy but isn't quite business class either. Premium Economy Class Flights » Premium Economy flights bridge the gap between Economy cabins and Business Class comforts, with premium seating and various other benefits. Business Class Flights » Space and convenience are at the forefront of Business Class cabins, allowing passengers to continue working while on board. Business class British Airways reputedly invented the cabin between economy and first in the late 1970s, with the name "Club Class" continuing on to today's Club World long-distance and Club Europe short-range business class offerings, but the name "Business Class" actually originated with Qantas in 1979. We've delved more deeply into the various types of seat available -- recliner, lie-flat seat, and the various types of fully flat bed -- previously, but here they are in a nutshell.  Domestic business class Domestic business class within Australia involves a larger recliner seat, better food and various other amenities like priority boarding, lounge access and more luggage. Eurobusiness Almost every European airline skips larger recliners in favour of economy seats with slightly more legroom and a blocked-off middle seat. Frequent flyers often refer to this as the "Eurobusiness" style. Regional business class Around the Asia-Pacific region, we're noticing an increasing number of airlines foregoing their full business-class offering for shorter routes, or where there isn't an international-standard business class competition. International business class Much more comfortable than even the first class seats of twenty years ago, the gold standard of international business is the fully flat bed. All-business class flights Frequent flyers also value all-business class flights -- whether that's the numerous trans-Atlantic options on small planes like British Airways' London City-New York JFK flight, a full A330 (with two types of business class on board) between Hong Kong and London Gatwick on Hong Kong Airlines, or the all-biz upper deck of Singapore Airlines' newest Airbus A380s. First Class Flights » First Class travel offers more space, premium menus and larger seats that generally convert to fully flat beds for optimal comfort. Mixed Class Flights » Mixing classes is the perfect way to enjoy both worlds on your trip to Europe without the full price tag. For Delta It's something like this, but I think there are some holes (missing business and F fares)  First  F full fare  A Discounted  R Skymiles ticket  V Medallion upgrade to F  Business  C/J Business Full fare?  I Discounted  O Skymiles ticket  X Medallion upgrade to C  Coach  Full Fares:  Y Full fare (upgradable internationally)  B close to full fare (upgradable internationally)  M close to full fare (upgradable internationally)  Mid-level fares  H, Q, K (upgradable domestically)  Budget and discount fares  L, U, T, and sometimes S (student fare?)  N (skymiles ticket) Fare Class Basics In their most simple definition, fare classes divide every seat on a plane into different categories, each with its own price and rules. Fare classes are identified by one-letter fare codes. Some fare classes and codes are standard across all airlines, while some are very different depending on the airline. Here are a few fare codes that are the same across all airlines: Y – Full fare economy class ticket J – Full fare business class ticket F – Full fare first class ticket Fare classes are used by airline reservation systems and travel agents to sell seats on a plane, keeping track of which fare classes are still available. Standard Practices and Common Fare Rules Combining a fare class with other rules signified by alphanumeric codes creates a fare basis code, which quickly tells airline reservation specialists and travel agents everything they need to know about your ticket. You’ll commonly find an E after your fare class to indicate that the ticket is an excursion fare, which has a minimum or maximum stay at the destination. I use the ITA matrix to find fare basis codes for a particular ticket. The above screenshot shows the fare basis code VE21A0SC for a Delta flight from Atlanta to Seattle. I know this is a V fare class excursion fare, but I would have to get a travel agent to look up the fare rules to find out exactly what the rest of the fare basis code tells me. A V fare with Delta is a deeply discounted economy fare that still earns 5 miles per $ spent for non-elite members, but is not eligible for upgrades unless you have Delta medallion status. I find this site very helpful when deciphering Delta, American and United fare codes. Fare basis codes can also tell an agent whether a fare is refundable, good for one-way or round-trip tickets, departing to or from specific countries, combinable with other fares, good in high or low season, how far in advance it can be booked and whether there are any routing restrictions or change penalties. Example: Fare basis code WH7LNR tells me the following: W — I have a W fare class ticket. H — It’s a high-season ticket. 7 — I have to book 7 days in advance. L — Long-haul. NR — The ticket is non-refundable. Common Fare Classes in the Points and Miles Hobby You may see bloggers or avid award travelers discussing tickets using these four codes: Y – Economy W – Premium economy J – Business F – First For example: “There’s a great J fare from North America to Paris this summer.” You’ll also commonly see these three codes pertaining to award tickets: X – Economy award seat I  – Business award seat O – First award seat I find knowing these fare classes to be handy in case my online booking screen doesn’t tell me what cabin I’m in for partner airline flights. If I book Thai Airways with United miles, sometimes my confirmation only says TG 678 (I). Because I know “I” is business, I don’t have to call United to confirm that I was booked in the correct cabin. A nice benefit of the United MileagePlus Explorer Card is that it gives you access to fare class XN award space — extra award seats only available to elites and cardholders. That card is currently offering an increased sign-up bonus of 50,000 miles after spending $3,000 in the first 3 months of account opening. Special Fare Classes Some airlines have specific fare classes for their own special products, special passengers or other situations. Here are a few: R – Singapore Airlines uses this only to signify A380 Suites. RU – Delta uses this for complimentary medallion upgrades. CB – Indicates an extra seat for cabin baggage. P – Etihad uses this for The Residence on A380s. IN – Infant fare, usually 10% of an adult fare. CH – Child’s fare, varies from 0%-50% savings depending on the airline. CL – Clergy fare (who knew?). DP – Diplomat. PG – Pilgrim. YGA – I fly these contracted military fares often for work. They are treated mostly as full Y tickets, but unfortunately are no longer upgradeable on American Airlines. When booking a ticket, regardless of whether it is using a published or unpublished fare, there are letters that are assigned to different fares. These letters indicate the class of service, not simply indicating economy or business class, but rather the type of fare that was purchased. Without getting into the particular rules of each fare type, letters are assigned by the airlines to indicate the kind of ticket that has been purchased. F, P are the letters most commonly used to indicate First Class. J, C are the letters most often used to represent Business, or Executive Class. Y is almost universally used to indicate a full fare economy ticket. B, H, L, M, V, etc. are just some of the letters indicating subclasses (reduced, restricted, and/or discounted fares). These letters vary by airline and in value. On one airline B may be indicative of a more expensive ticket. On another airline L may represent a ticket booked on a seat sale. X, U, R are a few of the letters commonly used to indicate a fare purchased from a consolidator. The following is a list of the main types of published airfares - and are based on round-trip or one-way travel: APEX fares are discounted international fares. Such fares usually require tickets to be purchased in advance (such as 7, 14, or 21 day minimum advance purchase), and will have other restrictions - non-refundable, change fees are just a few of the possible restrictions. Discount Fares are fares that tend to have a smaller price tag, and are offered for a limited time (seat sales would fall into this category). They usually have a long list of restrictions such as specific travel dates, minimum and maximum stay (for example, a minimum Saturday night stay, a maximum 30 day stay), etc. Unlike most published fares, it is important to make sure that you are aware of the fare rules and restrictions on discount (seat sale) fares. Keep a copy of the rules because seat sale fares come and go quickly, and the rules and restrictions can be harder(sometimes impossible) to retrieve online. Excursion Fares are lower priced fares that involve restrictions like advance purchase, time of year, minimum/maximum stay, etc. Unrestricted, Flexible, or Full Fares are the titles given to the most expensive tickets. You pay for a ticket that allows you to refund or change the ticket as necessary for fares that can be purchased at any time, even the same day of travel. Joint fares are offered by airlines that have some sort of partner relationship on select routes. They essentially give a passenger a price break when you are using more than one airline to get somewhere. Joint fares have their own set of restrictions, not unlike those already mentioned for excursion and discount fares. A through fare is a fare to a destination reached by traveling through a gateway city. It could be combined with any of the fare types listed above, and is used to obtain a lower price when you are not simply flying from point A to point B, but are rather connecting through other points to get to your destination. If you are traveling from Atlanta to Athens via Frankfurt, you may be offered a through fare, so that instead of paying for Atlanta to Frankfurt and Frankfurt to Athens, you pay one fare for Atlanta through to Athens. The Different Types of Flight Tickets By Karl Bruce eHow Contributor Pin Share Tweet Share Email Save 5 Shares & Saves When traveling by air, travelers must first purchase a flight ticket that allows them to fly to their destination. While buying the ticket there are a number of available options for consumers to choose from. To get the most out of your travel experience it is important to understand these choices and how they work, both together and independently. One-Way Ticket This is a type of ticket for one direction of travel only. It is ideal for travelers who do not require a return flight or for travelers who do not have an exact return date. Travelers who purchase one-way tickets must purchase a second ticket for return travel. Round-trip Ticket Round-trip tickets are tickets that allow the purchaser to travel to their destination and then back again. This type of ticket is for travelers who have plans to travel on specific dates. First Class Ticket First class tickets are a form of one-way or round-trip tickets that allow travelers to travel in first class. Because first class travelers have access to spacious seating, quality food, drink and other in-flight amenities, these tickets are often the most expensive type of ticket available. First class ticket holders also have access to the airport lounge while waiting for their flight and a variety of entertainment options on-board. Business Class Ticket This type of ticket allows the purchaser to sit in business class. It is a ticket that provides travelers with a more comfortable traveling experience than coach/economy. For example, one of the benefits of business class is increased leg room. However, it does not have the features or luxuries that are available to travelers carrying first class tickets. Coach Ticket Coach tickets are a type of ticket in which fliers travel in coach or economy class. This is the most basic means of travel and it is also the least expensive. Holders of coach tickets are often given limited snacks and drink and other comfort features such as leg room are limited. Non-refundable tickets This type of ticket is often purchased at a discount and is not eligible for a refund. Travelers who are unable to travel on the date or dates that are specified may request that the carrier transfer the ticket to another time. Rules regarding transferring travel dates with non-refundable tickets may vary from one carrier to another and a re-issuing fee or penalty may apply. Refundable ticket Refundable tickets are a ticket type that is eligible for a refund. Travelers that request a refund are not charged a fee or penalty. 2. visa  Definition  Related Terms Certificate issued or a stamp marked (on the applicant's passport) by the immigration authorities of a country to indicate that the applicant's credentials have been verified and he or she has been granted permission to enter the country for a temporary stay within a specified period. This permission, however, is provisional and subject to the approval of the immigration officer at the entry point. The common types of visas include: (1) Single entry visa: valid only for one visit. (2) Multiple entry visa: allows any number of visits within its validity period. (3) Business visa: for a short visit to conduct discussions, negotiations, and/or presentations, but not to take up employment.

The regular passport has 36 pages. The current maximum validity period varies with the age of the passport holder: Adults (16 years of age or over): have the option of a 5-year or 10-year passport. Children’s passports (0 to 15 years of age): are issued for a maximum of five years. Diplomatic passport Diplomatic passports are issued to: high-ranking Government of Canada officials, diplomats, and representatives and delegates of the Government of Canada. Diplomatic passports are used for travel to international governmental organizations and international conferences of a diplomatic nature or to a post abroad. The validity period for this passport is determined by the issuing office. Special passport Special passports are issued to: members of Parliament, Senators, people employed by the Government of Canada in a non-diplomatic capacity travelling on an official mission or to a post abroad. The validity period for this passport is determined by the issuing office. Temporary passport Certain Canadian government offices abroad may issue temporary passports on behalf of the Passport Program to Canadians with an urgent and proven need for a passport, while they wait to receive a regular, special or diplomatic passport. The validity period for this passport is determined by the issuing office but has a maximum validity of one year. Regular passport (navy blue/black cover) is issued to ordinary citizens for ordinary travel, such as for vacation, study and business trips (36 or 60 pages). It is a "Type P" passport, where P stands for personal. Official passport (white cover) is issued to individuals representing the Indian government on official business. It is a "Type S" passport, S standing for service. Diplomatic passport (maroon cover) is issued to Indian diplomats, top ranking government officials and diplomatic couriers.

In addition, selected passport offices in India as well as overseas missions are authorised to issue regular Indo-Bangladesh passports and Indo-Sri Lankan passports to Indian nationals resident in West Bengal, the North-Eastern States, Tamil Nadu and Puducherry. These two passports respectively permit travel to Bangladesh and Sri Lanka only and are not valid for travel to other foreign countries. Types[edit] Latest versions of the Philippine passport. From left to right: regular, official, and diplomatic. There are three types of Philippine passports issued by the Department of Foreign Affairs. These are currently designated by the colors maroon (regular), red (official), and dark blue (diplomatic). Regular (maroon)[edit] A regular passport is issued to any citizen of the Philippines applying for a Philippine passport.[1] It is the most common type of passport issued and is used for all travel by Philippine citizens and non-official travel by Philippine government officials. Since September 17, 2007, all new Philippine passports have been issued with maroon covers.[citation needed] Official (red)[edit] An official passport is issued to members of the Philippine government for use on official business, as well as employees of Philippine diplomatic posts abroad who are not members of the diplomatic service. It is the second of two passports issued to the President and the Presidential family. As such, this passport does not extend the privilege of diplomatic immunity. Government officials are prohibited from using official passports for non-official business, and as such also have regular passports.[1] This passport has a red cover. This passport has a validity of 6 months. Philippine Official (Red) passport inside page 2-3 Diplomatic (blue)[edit] A diplomatic passport is issued to members of the Philippine diplomatic service, members of the Cabinet, service attachés of other government agencies assigned to Philippine diplomatic posts abroad and Philippine delegates to international and regional organizations. It is the first of two passports issued to the President of the Philippines and the Presidential family.[1] This passport has a dark blue cover and extends the privilege of diplomatic immunity to the bearer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippine_passport  The documents that you can red-ribbon are: Birth Certificate – NSO/PSA and DFA Marriage Contract – NSO/PSA and DFA CENOMAR (certificate of non marriage) – NSO/PSA and DFA Death certificate – NSO/PSA and DFA Marriage Contract {Local Civil Registry copy (for not readable, BC, MC, DC)} – NSO/PSA and DFA Certification of Non-Marriage Record (from NSO/PSA – Valid only for six months upon issue of document) – NSO/PSA and DFA Certificate of Muslim Tribal Affiliation – OMA, Shari’a Court, NSO/PSA, DFA Certificate of Conversion to Islam – OMA, Shari’a Court, NSO/PSA, DFA Police Clearance – PNP , DFA NBI Clearance – NBI, DFA LTO Certificate – LTO, DFA Driver’s License – LTO, DFA Report of Rating – PRC, DFA Certificate of Registration – PRC, DFA Certification of Good Standing – PRC, DFA Professional License – PRC, DFA Community Tax Certificate / Cedula – City Treasurer’s Office, DFA Barangay Certification/Mayor’s Certification- Barangay Chairman, Mayor, DFA Barangay Clearances – Barangay Chairman, Mayor, DFA Voter’s ID/Certificate – COMELEC Manila, DFA Travel Clearance of a Filipino Minor without Accompanying Parents – DSWD, DFA Alien Certificate of Registration – Immigrant/Native-Born Residence Certificate – Bureau of Immigration, DFA College Diploma and Transcript of Records (Collegiate Level) – School, CHED (depending on the region), DFA College Diploma and Transcript of Records (For State Colleges and University) (Use 1 & 3 CAV signed by the University Registrar) – School, CHED (depending on the region), DFA Certificate of Enrollment/Report of Grades – School, CHED (depending on the region), DFA Certification of Graduation – School, CHED (depending on the region), DFA Secondary/Elementary Diploma and Form 137-A, Special Order – School, DEPED (depending on the region), DFA Certification of Graduation – School, DEPED (depending on the region), DFA Certificate of Enrollment/Report of Grades – School, DEPED (depending on the region), DFA Diploma on Technical and Skills Development Courses – School, TESDA(depending on the region), DFA Transcript of Records – School, TESDA (depending on the region), DFA Certificate of Enrollment/Report of Grades – School, TESDA (depending on the region), DFA Certification of Graduation – School, TESDA (depending on the region), DFA Medical Certificate – Clinic/Hospital, DOH-BLR, DFA Why we need Red Ribbon Documents?

Even if a body of water separates the 7,107 islands that make up the Philippines, there will always be some form of transport that is available to take or bring someone to a particular destination. Below is a list of popular modes of transport. Some are fast, some are slow, but they are always interesting. Jeepneys The jeep was a remnant from the World War II. Enterprising Filipinos saw the possibility of it being a mode of transportation and turned them into the new longer and colorful jeepneys that have become a Philippine icon. The most common mode of transport, jeepneys ply several routes around the country, especially those areas where bigger buses cannot serve. Jeepneys can be 10-seater or 14-seater. There are new versions that are bigger and have air conditioning, geared as a tourist transport option particularly for city tours in Metro Manila. Buses Regular and air-conditioned buses that service several cities and provinces in the Philippines are privately-owned. These buses serve to connect provinces with the Metropolis; others operate city-wide in Metro Manila. They provide more comfort for long distance land travel. Those that operate in the city ply daily. Those going to the provinces have regular, scheduled daily trips. A bus ride can be as short as 30 minutes for in-city transfer and as long as 14 hours for long distance provincial trips. Tricycles Tricycles in the Philippines resemble the auto rickshaws of India and the tuk-tuks of Thailand and other Asian countries, except that the cab is attached to the right side of the motorcycle instead of being in front or at the back. Tricycles can be seen on the side streets and some subdivisions and normally used for short-distance travel. With the stronger horsepower of a motorcycle, the tricycles sometimes are hired to ferry people and merchandise from the market. Depending on the construction and discretion of the driver, the tricycle can ferry from 2 to about 7 people. Bancas The Philippines being an archipelago composed of 7,107 islands, it is inevitable that some form of transport will be needed to go from one island to a neighboring one. For short inter-island travel, the motorized bancas are the first choice. Primarily used by individual fishermen, the motorized bancas are now used as a faster means of transportation. Some resorts make use of bigger ones to ferry guests from port to resort and back. Pedicabs This can be considered the silent version of tricycles, since bicycles are used, with a passenger cab attached to the side or in front. The driver uses pedal power to transport passengers. Normally you will see pedicabs on side streets and some subdivisions which do not allowed tricycles to enter. Pedicabs can seat a maximum of three passengers. Minibuses These are smaller versions of buses that can ferry passengers for terminal to terminal. Depending on where the minibuses are operating, they are either used for short distance or for longer land travel, particularly in some far-flung areas where any other means of transportation are few and/or limited. They can carry people, livestock and other merchandise. Minibuses do not have air conditioning and seats are small and spaced close together. MRT/LRT During the latter years of the Marcos era, the Metro Manila Light Rail Transit System (LRT) was established to provide cheaper and faster direct routes from Baclaran in Parañaque to Monumento in Quezon City, primarily to decongest the Epifanio Delos Santos Avenue (EDSA), a major thoroughfare. There are 29 LRT stations. In 1999, the Manila Metro Rail Transit System (MRT) started operations, traversing EDSA from Taft Avenue in Pasay City to North Avenue in Quezon City, a total of 13 stations. Taxis/FX Air conditioned taxicabs and closed vans more commonly known as FX taxis are available in the city. Metered taxis can take a passenger anywhere in the city, but will charge a different rate (usually double the fare) when you have to go beyond city limits. There are also airport taxis that only serve passengers coming to and from the airport. These charge higher fees and available on call. The FX taxis join the rest of the buses and jeepneys on their routes during regular hours and normally will be found waiting for passengers in designated terminals to wait for passengers to specific destinations. UNITED LAND TRANSPORT & BUS COMPANY, INC Del Monte Land Transport Bus Company Incorporated Del Monte Land Transport Bus Company (DLTBCo) is a provincial bus company formed as a subsidiary of Del Monte Motor Works, Incorporated. It was formed as a resurgent of Batangas Laguna Tayabas Bus Company Incorporated (BLTBCo.), one of the oldest provincial bus companies in the Philippines. It plies routes mainly to Batangas, Laguna, Quezon, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, Albay and Sorsogon provinces and other parts in Eastern Visayas region. DLTBCo. was founded last 2010 when BLTBCo. was taken over by DMMW and later added to its investment, although one must take note that DLTBCo. and BLTBCo. are different companies from each other, but their similarity is its routes that the latter have. It was because the former has announced its restoration of the old routes made by the latter after the firm's take over. BLTBCo., on the other hand, was founded in 1918 shortly before the end of World War I. Thus, DLTBCo is one of the nation's oldest bus firms if the BTLBCo history and timeline are included. the company was derived from the union of two small bus companies—BTCo. and LTB. BTCo. stands for Batangas Transportation Company, while LTB stands for LagunaTayabas Bus Company. The union was made by Max Blouse, an American seargeant who fought in the Spanish–American War in 1898. After the war, he decided to stay in the Philippines. ddress: 283, Del Monte Avenue, Barangay Manresa, Quezon City, 1100 Metro Manila Phone:(02) 227 1933 918[edit] It was in 1918 when Max Blouse began his business ventures and he founded the Batangas Transportation Company (BTCo). Starting with only one "calesa-like tires with wooden spokes" bus, Max Blouse performed a wondrous task of being the driver, conductor and repairman for the whole operation. Through his handwork and dedication, he eventually acquired 17 more units of the passenger vehicles painted in red that people fondly called "pula" - the basis of today's DLTBCo bus livery. The astounding performance and affluence that the BLTBCo enjoys today can be attributed to the benevolent effort of its founder MAX BLOUSE, an American sergeant during the Spanish-American War in the 1900. Following the war, he decided to stay in the Philippines and married a Filipina from Naga named Flora Arteza. The couple was blessed with one daughter, Maxima, christened after her father and who was later married to Col. Pelagio G. Potenciano. They were blessed with tow children namely Max and Flora. It was in 1918 when Max Blouse began his business ventures and he founded the Batangas Transportation Company (BTCo). Starting with only one “calesa-like tires with wooden spokes” bus, Max Blouse preformed a wondrous task of being the driver, conductor and repairman in the whole operation. Through his handwork and dedication, he eventually acquired 17 more units of the passenger vehicles painted in red that people fondly called it as “pula”. As a result of the thriving operation in the transportation business, Max Blouse in 1928 incorporated BTCo with his newly established bus company dubbed as Laguna Tayabas Bus Company (LTB) - concentrating in the area of Laguna and Tayabas, Quezon. The tow enterprises he had installed apportioned a conspicuous achievement until the disruption of the Second World War. What types of routes can I book? Depending on your travel plans, you can book different types of routes: Round trips have an outbound flight and an inbound flight. They take you from your point of origin to your destination, and back. One way trips only have an outbound flight. They will take you from your point of origin to your destination, without any scheduled return. Multiple city trips give you a lot of flexibility when planning a more complex trip. You can visit several destinations with various stopover lengths. You can fly to and from different airports depending on your travel plans. Nonstop: A nonstop flight is just what is says: a single flight between two airports with no stops. Business travelers prefer nonstop flights because they are the fastest. Unfortunately they are usually the most expensive. Direct: While a direct flight might sound like a nonstop flight, it’s not. A direct flight makes at least one intermediate stop along the way to its final destination, but has only one flight number. For example, if you choose a direct flight between Atlanta and San Francisco you’d fly on one plane the whole way to SFO. But that plane would make a stop in, say, Dallas, or Denver, where it would drop off and pick up more passengers, like a bus. Due to these stops, direct flights can add an hour or more to your total travel time. I recently took a Southwest Airlines flight from Oakland to Phoenix for a meeting. My flight from Oakland to Phoenix was a nonstop. However, the plane continued on to St Louis. The passengers who stayed on the plane in Phoenix and continued flying to St Louis on the second leg were on a direct flight. Often, direct flights are less expensive than nonstop flights– but not always. If you have a choice between a direct or a nonstop and the price is the same, take the nonstop! Connecting: A connecting flight will take at least two different planes with two different flight numbers to reach your final destination. For example, a connecting flight from Los Angeles to New York would mean first flying from LAX to Dallas/Ft Worth where you would get off the plane. At DFW you’d board another plane (with another flight number) for the flight to New York. Connecting flights are almost always less expensive than nonstop flights, but they are not always the best option for travelers who place a premium on time. Why? First, when you take off and land, you double your chances of encountering delays due to weather or air traffic control. Connecting flights can also take significantly longer than direct or nonstop flights due to long layovers. Also, you’ll have to bring your carryon bags on and off the plane multiple times in each direction. Connections often mean landing in one terminal, then having to take a train or a long walk to another. For these reasons, connecting flights are always the least desirable in terms of convenience… but likely the most desirable in terms of price.
