PROMO: Get P2500 Off on Airbnb with SUN

Aside from airfare, one of the most expensive costs of travel is the accommodations.

Thankfully, travelers these days have more options with sites like Airbnb, a worldwide community where people can choose to rent out their own homes or stay in unique accommodations around the world.
