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 1. 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.

  2. eTravel and Travel Tax

    Two government requirements to sort out before you fly, best done from home.

  3. Check-in

    Check in online before you leave for the airport. You will still need to drop by the airline counter for document check and bag drop. Counters typically open 3 hours before departure and close 60 minutes prior.
