READY TO FLY: "So here it is, finally, after three cancellations (three different airlines). After all the heartbreaks, numerous calls and long waiting lists of airlines, I decided to get a special flight to Manila on PAL (Philippine Airlines) because I was desperate to go home. I'm told these flights are not usually announced in the airline's website (based on my investigation). With the help of a friend working for a travel agency in Dubai, I was lucky to get an earlier date. Thanks to you. Lesson learnt: Try and try until you succeed," wrote Lalaine Ortiz Lacerna, who worked for seven years in Dubai as a nurse.
