PAL, what philippine airlines is called is older than cathay pacific making it Asia's Oldest Airline (and trivia-only PAL and Other Philippine Carriers are not subsidized by the Governent, bucking the trend in the rest of asia wherein other National carriers are heavily subsidiez by their Governments like Singapore Airlines, Thai Air, Malaysian Air, Royal Brunei, Emirates, Japan Airlines and others).
Philippine Airlines was founded on February 26, 1941, making it Asia's oldest carrier still operating under its current name. The airline was started by a group of businessmen led by Andres Soriano, hailed as one of the Philippines' leading industrialists at the time, who served as the General Manager, and former Senator Ramon Fernandez as Chairman and President. Government investment in September of the same year paved the way for its nationalization. Its main hub is at Ninoy Aquino International Airport in the city of Parañaque with all its passenger flights involving Manila in Centennial Terminal 2.

After A Few Years of Legal Wrangling, It Finally Opened! Naia Terninal 3 was a source of controversy since it was started and at present the Philippine Government and the Builders are still engeged on a court battle for it. The Not so spanking New Terminal Terminal 3 began commercial operations for domestic flights in July 2008, after a near six-year delay (initally serving domestic carriers Air Philippines, Pal Express and the Domestic and International Flights of Cebu Pacific Airline). The terminal is expected to be running full international flights by March 2009. Terminal 3 is built on a 63.5-hectare lot that sits on Villamor Air Base. The terminal building has a total floor area of 182,500 square meters, having a total length of 1.2 kilometres. Departure fee for domestic flights is 200 pesos and for international flights at 750 pesos.

It was originally a US Air Force Base. It started operations as a civil aviation airport in 1948, then consisting of the present domestic runway as its sole landing strip, and a small building
northwest of this runway as its sole passenger terminal. The Ninoy Aquino International Airport is the primary airport serving the Metro Manila Area and the main international gateway of the Philippines. Located along the border between Pasay City and Parañaque City, it is about 7 kilometers south of the country's capital Manila, and southwest of Makati City's Central Business District. In 2006, the airport handled an estimated 17,700,000 passengers. This was an 8.9% growth in passenger numbers from 2005 and placing the airport 72nd worldwide in terms of passenger traffic.
The airport has two duty-free shops which are located on the North Wing of the Departure's Level and on the North Wing of the Arrivals Level, The airport has two banks, outside Arrivals Terminal 1 and in the Arrivals Terminal 2. Both the banks provide a bureau de change service which is available during flight operations. There is unfortunately no left-luggage department in the airport, but trolleys however are available for free and there is also a free of charge porter service available upon request. There are Tourist Information desks located in both the Arrivals and Departures hall. Airport information desks are available for all flights.
During holidays, you will generally use all two hours, especially if you are traveling in coach, to get to the ticket/baggage check in line, pay your airport taxes etc. Security is very tight at the airport. You will undergo numerous security checks, both of your bags and of your person. There is a separate line for women and men by the second luggage x-ray machines where a sensor will be run over your body and you may be "patted down." A final hand search of all carry-on bags and purses is required at the entrance to the waiting area by the gate.

Located next to the Philippine Village Hotel on Airport Ave., the control tower complex. This terminal is exclusively for Philippine Airline flights. Opened in October 1999, this modern airport is quite large. There is a lounge for business and first class passengers on the lower level. Security procedures are followed closely in this terminal as well.
Terminal 2 is the home of Philippine Airlines and its sister company Air Philippines, and is used for both its domestic and international flights. It has the most flights out of all the NAIA terminals. is divided into 2 wings: the North Wing which handles international flights and the South Wing which handles domestic flights. It currently has 12 airbridges.
It has been named the Centennial Terminal in commemoration of the centennial year of the declaration of Philippine independence. The 75,000-square meter terminal was originally designed by Aéroports de Paris to be a domestic terminal, but the design was later modified to accommodate international flights. It has a capacity of 2.5 million passengers per year in its international wing and 5 million in its domestic wing

The easiest way to reach Boracay Island is to take chartered plain from Manila to Caticlan!!!
From Caticlan Airport to Boracay Island, take outrigger boat. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

Very ideal for flights coming from Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Kota Kinabalu if you want to go directly to Boracay/Caticlan.

Manila Domestic Aiport services all non-Philippine Airline flights (PAL have their own terminal). Airlines here are: Cebu Pacific, Asian Spirit, Seair, Interisland Air.
Waiting area is a bit uncomfy with their steel chairs. They have just 2 bathrooms (1 for female, 1 for male), each with 3 cubicles. Imagine travelling during the peak season, a lot of people queing in the loo!
There are several eating places inside the terminal - a canteen type, deli france, mister donuts, fruit magic.
Terminal fee is 200pesos.
The best thing about landing at the Domestic Airport is that there is a taxi queue outside the arrival area - as compared to Terminal 2 (for PAL flights) - they only have coupon taxis which are very expensive. Theme: Airplane

 SingaporeAirlines by xuessium
They are: Tiger Airways (to Manila's Clark Airbase) and Jetstar Asia & Cebu Pacific (to Ninoy Aquino International Airport, the main airport in Manila).
Tiger Airways and Cebu Pacific operate out of the Budget Terminal in Singapore Changi Airport while Jetstar Asia operates out of Terminal 1. Leave a Comment

 NAIA in Manila. by ahoerner
On the international arrival is a little messy and confusing before customs. In the other hand, the domestic arrival is calm and clean.
Outside the arrival hall there are lots of taxis waiting for tourists to overrate a ride to downtown. If you have a transfer already arranged, good for you.
If not, try to arrange some in the booths on the right hand side of the arrival gate. Some hotels offer tourists discounts on that ride, even if not previously arranged. Just find the correct car rental booth associated to your hotel. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane
