Kept for reference. Nothing here is still worth acting on, so read it as a record of that day rather than a checklist.

  1. Getting to NAIA

    Head to Terminal 3. NAIA's terminals are far apart, so going to the wrong one means a long transfer. Plan how you'll reach the terminal ahead of time; Metro Manila traffic is unpredictable.
