Stick with your favorite airline. Stick with the same airline to and from your destination. Your patronage means alot to your airline carrier which will amount to round trip discounts vs. one way on one carrier and the return trip on a different carrier. It is also easier to book your flights and get the highest level of service if you use the same airline to get there and to get home. Another reason to do this is that, anymore, round trip tickets are about the same price as one way tickets so why not save yourself some hassle and just use one airline for the whole trip? Visiting to El Nido is a cinch. If it's too difficult to find a cheap fly somewhere, why not simply drive? In many cases, you can get somewhere just as quickly by driving, as you avoid all the hassles of checking in, security and possible delays. Depending on your destination, you may even find it cheaper to drive, as long as your car isn't a gas guzzler. This is especially true if you drive with someone who can split the costs with you and make the trip more fun. While this won't exactly get you cheap domestic flights, it certainly can reduce your travel bills by quite a lot! Besides, road trips are fun!

One way you can easily get a good price is to simply ask the airline to give you a discount. There is no reason you have to pay the advertised prices if you are aware that you have better options!
