We just arrived from our trip from the Philippines. It was quite an ‘exciting’ trip back here in Malaysia because we were so late in checking in the airport that the plane almost left us.
That was one experience that we don’t want to happen again. So, the next time we would be flying anywhere, we will truly make sure we check and recheck our tickets to see the departure time and we will make sure to be in the airport 2 or 3 hours prior to departure.
There is also one thing that one should make sure when flying from the Philippines. That is one should have enough cash to pay for the travel tax and Terminal fees. If you’re a Filipino flying out of the country, make sure to have 1,620 pesos for your Travel tax. And if you’re flying from NAIA Terminal 3, make sure you have another 750 pesos ( per person) for the Terminal Fee for International flights and 300 pesos ( per person) for Domestic Flights. Your own local airports will also charge their own terminal fees ( upon departure) but the fees vary according to the airports you’ll be departing from.
Anyways, I was just relieved to have enough cash on my pocket ( since there were 4 of us travelling). I didn’t expect the terminal fee to be 750 pesos at NAIA. The last time we flew from Clark, we only paid 300 pesos ( if I’m not mistaken).
