Flypino is your new Cologne based travel agency specialized for flight tickets and the Philippines. General Manager Raphael Schmidt offers not only personal travel consulting but also special flight tickets to the Philippines or wherever you want to go to.
Yes, but with special focus on personal consulting. As a licensed IATA flight agency we offer you a big range of special fares with a lot of extras. With our expertise and experience in the flight and ticketing sector we also provide interesting insights and personal assessments on price developments, flight routes, mileage programs and anything else that interests you around aviation and air travel.
Booking directly with the airline, booking with a pure online agent or booking with a specialist like FLYPINO - each booking channel certainly has its advantages and disadvantages, which everyone should weigh up for themselves. Here are four valid facts that speak clearly for us:
Fares: FLYPINO is an accredited special agency with many extra fares, which have been negotiated directly with the airline. We thus offer fares that are not even sold in online booking tools - for example Balikbayan fares with more free baggage allowance, more flexible rebooking options and other amenities.
We are human: We have plenty travel experience and knowledge in Asia as well as all the necessary qualifications in airline ticketing. This will always take part in our personal consultation and can be worth a lot in the end - even for a simple flight booking.
Service: Flypino is totally independent. As an IATA accredited agency we can issue, rebook and refund tickets on our own. That means we are not dependent on support from the airline or a consolidator. Especially in times of high inquiry volume, the waiting or processing time for our quality service should be significantly shorter than with the airline itself or with large online agencies.
Location: FLYPINO is not a virtual company. We are a physical travel agency located in Cologne, Germany. We are therefore also subject to German and European tourism and trade laws and do not escape any responsibility. You can reach us by normal landline number without hidden phone charges. After arrangement you can also come here for your very personal consulting - and you will always get a free cup of coffee!

Not necessarily. At least a comparison is always worth a try. In addition to a good price, our special fares often have more free baggage allowance, more flexible rebooking or even down-payment options. Likewise, we can reserve flight options with many airlines for a few days, so that you have enough time for a perfect travel planning. Even if you don’t book in the end - this extra service is completelyfree of charge for you!
You can book all airlines with FLYPINO. We are absolutely independent and are not subject to any cooperation and do not have to fill contingents. With this background we can totally focus on your travel needs.

General Manager Raphael Schmidt
I was born and raised in the Northern German province. After a stopover in the Ruhrgebiet, I moved to Cologne in 2008, where I completed my training as a travel agent. Since then, I have been employed at a renowned travel agency with a focus on the Philippines and airline tickets until 2021. So I learned IATA ticketing from scratch in the educational "oldschool" way. In 2009 I was in the Philippines for the first time, where I met my wife two years later. Since then, I have been there more than 15 times, traveling the whole country and many other beautiful spots and Cities in Asia. So a lot of travel experience always flows into my consultancy.
