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.

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.

Make sure you leave ample time to get to your flight when leaving Manila International Airport.

Prior to entering the terminal building, there are security checks of all bags and there are long queues outside. It can take around 1 hour, and that is prior to joining the check-in counters!

We flew to Manila on AirAsia - it is under 4 hours flight from Kuala Lumpur - maybe around 3 1/2 hours you can get there. It lands at Clark Field airport which is near Subic, and it is about 1 1/2 to 2 hours drive to metro Manila.

There is a departure tax - i was told it was 550 peso each, but when i paid it was only 350 peso.

The airport has limited working hours - i believe it is only open based on the flights hours. We took an early flight back to KLumpur, and even though we arrived at Clark at 8am, but had to wait till 9am for the airport to be open for passengers to check in.

Also there are many flights to Clark from HKong, Singapore and also many domestic flights - for sure on certain days SEAir goes to Boracay via Manila.
