United Airlines formerly operated the Manila Route up to 1993 but they pulled out but since they merged with Continental Airlines in March of 2012, They resumed their Manila Operations recently via that merger with Continental Airlines which formerly had that daily flights to and from manila to any point in North America and Hawaii via Guam. The mileage are now merged into the United Miles Plus System from the former One Pass and if you're a frequent flyer, you can have MR's for both domestic and International Flights. United Continental has daily flights to and from manila to guam and twice daily flights 3x a week using a boeing 737 Aircraft and you shift to a bigger aircraft at the Antonio Won Pat Airport in Guam, which is their pacific hub. They have more expensive flights to and from the US Mainland and longer layovers than Delta Airlines.
their Ticketing Office is at: 10/F Rufino Pacific Tower V.A. Rufino St., corner 6784 Ayala Avenue, Makati City, Metro Manila.

This NAIA Terminal 1 tips is pictures around the ARRIVAL area of the airport.
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.

Renting a minivan makes a perfect sense when you are hitting the road with the family. So why not take advantage of a rental minivan from Avis and make this a trip to remember. A minivan rental will make the journey feel like you are in a living room on wheels.
If your trip includes taking the family along, a safe and roomy minivan is great for road trips.

If you are leaving Manila by sea check which harbour your boat is leaving from as there is the south harbour and north harbour which are either side of the river. It can be quite congested so if you arrive at the wrong one it may be difficult to transfer to the other in time to board your boat. It will normally say on your ticket which Pier you are leaving from, and each harbour has several piers. The easiest harbour to get to is the south one, it is near Manila Hotel, the north harbour is near Divisoria, which can be real busy.

the most popular means of public transportation in the Philippines. They were originally made from US military jeeps left over from World War II and are known for their flamboyant decoration and crowded seating. They have become a ubiquitous symbol of Philippine culture.

kalesa or calesa (sometimes called a karitela) is a horse drawn calash (carriage). This was one of the modes of transportation introduced in the Philippines in the 18th century by the Spaniards that only nobles and high ranked officials could afford.

If you have several pieces of luggage you don't have much choice but to take the airport taxis. These are considered very safe as you pay at a counter in advance and your journey is recorded. Perhaps you pay a little more than walking out of the terminal and hailing a taxi on the street but it's better to be safe than sorry.

I always like my tips to be accurate so I shall begin this by saying that I have not gone on a ride on one of the horse carts that ply for hire in the Intramuros district of Manila. Indeed, the day I visited there, moswt of them seemed to have been employed to carry musicians and guests of the various weddings that we saw in the area.
I can give no information as to prices or the tours offered but I thought the reader may be interested to know of the option.

Manila Airport (the main one, not Clark) is a bit of a maze as it has four terminals not particularly close to one another. This tip may be of limited use as it concerns Terminal 4 which, at time of writing, only serves the low cost Zest Air and SE Air but I shall post it for what use it may be.
Firstly, I cannot stress this enough and it applies to all terminals, leave lots of time to get from the city to the airport. The traffic can be absolutely chaotic and it can take quite a while to cover the relatively short distance, even using the new toll Skyway.
On arrival at T4, if you are flying Zest as I was, you will have to first check in at the office across the road from the entrance. Once you have done this, go through security and there are two check n queues, one for each airline. These can be quite long as well. There is only one coffee stall in this area, so if you are flying, you are better going through to the departure lounge where the facilities are much better. To do this, you need to pay your departure tax, which at time of writing (January 2012) is 200 pesos. They like you to have the right money and didn't seem amused when I presented a 1000 peso note. You pay at one of the two blue booths on the left of the second image. Both booths are in use and there seemed inexplicably to be a large queue at one and about three people at the other.
The departure area is quite comfortable and has a good selection of food outlets as well as other shops. There is free wifi including power sockets and even a 'phone charging area. Although I did not notice any specific disabled toilets (I may have missed them), the whole terminal is step-free which will assist mobility impaired travellers.
After that, it is a walk onto the tarmac and board your 'plane. All in all, it is not a bad terminal to go through if a little crowded especially when flights are deleayed as they often are on these routes and with these carriers.

Manila is underrated as a tourist destination. It has fun places to go to. And plenty of history and art also. This is a picture of Intramuros at night.
