^pwede yung travel tax. Yung airport tax sa airport mo lang pwede bayaran and on the day of departure.

Mga sis,  I will be flying to hk na this coming friday and it will be the first time that I will be flying with Cebupac and I have made their web check in and I just want to ask something diba kapag international flights dapat 3hours before the flight nandun ka na, kapag ba nag web check in ka you don't need to comply na with that? may nakalagay kasi na 45minutes.  katakot baka maiwan ako hehe!  And another thing I'm planning to buy something na at dutyfree before I fly para may 7% discount , malapit din ba sa terminal 3 yung dutyfree?  Sorry ha, first time talaga with cebupac kaya no idea.  THANKS for the help!

i think the gate will be open 45 minutes before departing time pero better be there mga 2 hours pa din before the flight... check in queue lang kasi ang mababawas but you still have to go through the IO and stuff so para sure and para relaxed din agahan mo na first time ko rin gagamit ng web check in pero air asia sana talagang convenient ingat sa trip sis!

[mama squeak!]

^^sis, if you mean the main Duty Free along Sucat ave. medyo malayo sa terminal 3 yun. Depends on the time of day sobra ang traffic along Domestic road to Duty Free and back. Unless you will be alloting a lot of time just to go shopping first.

As to web check-in, depends on the time of your departure try to be at the airport at least 2 hours pa rin. You still have to deal with security and immigrations kasi.

^^ ic thanks for the help sis! I will be there on time. About sa dutyfree nakita ko na sa naia website.

mga sis, did i read it right na pati legal spouse ng mga OCWs and dependents can avail of the RTT? tia!

[mama squeak!]

^Only if the family will be travelling to the place of work of the OCW (joining). But if travelling to another place just for tourism purposes you pay the full amount (adults) even the OCW.

[smiley327]

^oh i see! i should have availed it pala for my previous travel  sayang ngayon ko lang to nalaman. thanks mama squeak!

[smiley327]

waaah...back to Php750 na pala talaga ang terminal fee. hindi pa kami umabot. sayang 

[freeswan]

mga sis, have you heard sa news na ibabalik sa Php750 ang airport tax? kelan daw yun? hindi ko kasi masyado narinig yung details sa news kagabi. we'll travel pa naman next month baka maabutan pa kami...waaaaah sayang din yun 

i read it sa twitter. jusko, muntik na ko magheart attack. if ever mangyayari to, goodluck sa mga trips natin.

[smiley327]

^sis, nangyari na nga  back to Php750 na. tinakaw lang tayo dun sa Php550 

[mama squeak!]

Ladies, FYI the terminal fee is still Php550.00 MIAA will come out with a formal announcement to the public once the increase will take effect. So, as of today it is still Php550.00

 

[smiley327]

^i sent an email to PAL asking about the terminal fee and they confirmed that it went back to Php750 na daw. Also, a friend went abroad just last wk and she paid Php750 

[mama squeak!]

^I don't know where they got the info but my staff just left this morning and she paid Php550.00
I also work at the airport by the way. If there are any changes MIAA sends us a memo so we can also inform our passengers. The last memo we received was the advise for the decrease in terminal fee. As of the moment we have not received any memo concerning the increase.

[smiley327]

^now, im confused 

we'll be travelling on monday. let's see how much they will charge us.

[vainwriter]

I read a 2010 blog saying that there are already official shuttles from Dau and SM Clark going to DMIA. Fee is much less than taking the cab from SM or taking Philtranco. Anyone who have tried these, or anyone from Dau or Clark who can confirm this?

Hi po!

mag travel kami this coming March 12 (domestic only) with our 17months old baby.. since my kasama kaming baby we need to bring his powdered milk .. tanong ko lang po kung hindi kaya ito ma mis-interpret na chemical substances? ayoko lang po kasi magka aberya pagdating sa airport?

salamat po!

[theflygirl]

^no problem at all with bringing baby food/milk. It's not included in the LAGS regulations.

may bad experience si bf sa airport naten. last time dumalaw siya dito ay nawala yung pasalubong nya for my niece. parang cheaper version ng ipod. iniwan yung box ..so di mo agad mahalata na nawalan ka na. pag dating sa haus nagulat kame kase lalagyan lang ang andon..good thing yung ipod nano for my son ay hindi nakuha. baka nagmamadali ang magnanakaw (na obviously taga loob ng NAIA)  at kahit ano na lang dinampot. gigil na gigil ako. gusto ko bumalik sa naia at mag reklamo.sabi ni bf wag na lang daw. sobra tiwala siya kase ilang times na siya dito punta non lang siya nanakawan. kaya now na pabalik ulit siya this month mahigpit ang bilin ko na i hand carry ang mga gadgets..
