Luggage took almost 2h in the middle of the night. On departure there was an officer that tried to scare me into a bribe by the luggage check before check-in, telling me my passport looked fake. He took it from me, asking for a little consideration until I threatened to call my embassy repeatedly. Oh and queues for everything were horrendously long, with people jumping queues all over.

As someone who lives there and uses NAIA every week i can reliably tell you Dan that jt’s reputation is well deserved. You clearly were there on one of its better days! It’s a filthy dirty broken chaotic place that’s badly managed.The flight departures are more often than not late.The traffic in and around the airport is horrendous.The chaos of getting a taxi/Grab from arrivals is a sight that would make any seasoned traveller weep and question their life choices. the queues just to get inside the terminals are real. The facilities are “cobbled” together and held together with duct tape literally! The aircon, escalators and bathrooms often are broken. Inter terminal transfers are a nightmare. Queues at immigration on departure and arrival make most African countries look efficient. You have staff standing around doing not a lot of nothing instead of directing Filipinos towards the e-gates. The range of shops and F&B isn’t great (terminal 3 is the better). Terminal 1 is a horror show and a time capsule on how historic airports once were but ironically being operated in realtime today. Mercifully, the only comfort I have is the Cathay membership that allows me to avoid check in queues and hide away in the lounge from the depressing reality of NAIA! It’s a national embarrassment and not the “banner advertisement” of a nation with such growth aspirations and a desire to be a forward looking modern country.

The worst airport IMO is London Heathrow. 3 hours waiting time for immigration clearance for passengers coming in from Asian countries, understaffed, the goddamn officers at the counters take their own sweet time to pass everyone and guess what? I had a 9:20 am flight to Abu Dhabi and just check-in alone took me 3 hours despite being at the airport by 6 since I’ve been told that it’s an extremely unreliable airport. Security takes another 1 hour and they start the final boarding call for passengers when the goddamn security officer isn’t even letting us finish our clearance. I was lucky to board it 2 minutes before the gates closed. Never ever returning to London if I’m going to arrive at Heathrow. Even an airport in a village would be so much better than this one. By far, THE WORST AIRPORT

I’ve used all 4 terminals. I just recently used Terminal 3 for the first time and was shocked at how much better it was than the other terminals.
Honestly, a trip through Cairo Airport always gives me the funniest horror stories. But oh yes it is the worst.

@@Once800-lucky you. When I last went there the passport control was so unorganised that some people just wandered through without being seen by an officer (there was another officer behind the next corner that took bribes from those that went through without getting a stamp). Luggage took almost 2h in the middle of the night. On departure there was an officer that tried to scare me into a bribe by the luggage check before check-in, telling me my passport looked fake. He took it from me, asking for a little consideration until I threatened to call my embassy repeatedly. Oh and queues for everything were horrendously long, with people jumping queues all over. Lounges shit too, not that that matters much.

It's not the worst because there's some good restaurants and ac when I go in this airport and it's cold and has a extension for the hotel called Belmont Hotel pls don't call it the worst rated because this airport has a bank convenience store restaurant and even taxi,s on the gate and busses and even the restroom is free and clean and the parking is just an average look with an restaurant and convenience store to if you understand im a Filipino who experienced multiple times here going I hope you understand what comment pls like not begging😊😊😊

How many Airports have you been through??😂
The reason it was hot cause the AC when you visited probably Broke down . Once its fixed the temperature may be fixed ... I hope so
ive flown out of domestic and intl new and old terminal in Naia . Its all with AC and its old but not really any worse than la guardia or LAX . There are plenty of business & first class lounges and restaurants . Its fine .
I went here, the outside roads are crazy but the airport itself is fine
Whatever... I'll continue to travel 😂😂
I was there the AC was working it probably wasn't working when you were there,it also depends on what time your flight was leaving I left at night it wasn't as crowded.
NAIA today is much better than 35 years ago... It was really dangerous go to the Airport in those days.... They open the luggage took out my sneakers, my daughter was robbed and the service was minus 10. At arrival they put bullets in your luggage during security check to treaten you paying them....... Today it's still lousy beside stealing money of departing visitors but better than in the 80's.... If you leave the airport the real trouble starts when taking a taxi.....😂

As someone who lives there and uses NAIA every week i can reliably tell you Dan that jt’s reputation is well deserved. You clearly were there on one of its better days! It’s a filthy dirty broken chaotic place that’s badly managed.The flight departures are more often than not late.The traffic in and around the airport is horrendous.The chaos of getting a taxi/Grab from arrivals is a sight that would make any seasoned traveller weep and question their life choices. the queues just to get inside the terminals are real. The facilities are “cobbled” together and held together with duct tape literally! The aircon, escalators and bathrooms often are broken. Inter terminal transfers are a nightmare. Queues at immigration on departure and arrival make most African countries look efficient. You have staff standing around doing not a lot of nothing instead of directing Filipinos towards the e-gates. The range of shops and F&B isn’t great (terminal 3 is the better). Terminal 1 is a horror show and a time capsule on how historic airports once were but ironically being operated in realtime today. Mercifully, the only comfort I have is the Cathay membership that allows me to avoid check in queues and hide away in the lounge from the depressing reality of NAIA! It’s a national embarrassment and not the “banner advertisement” of a nation with such growth aspirations and a desire to be a forward looking modern country.

Just when I thought I only need to endure the smell of urea & the vintage feels of T1 until Dec 2023, I asked for help fr an employee who was only chit chatting with a group of people who happened to be his *kababayan* (fr the same town) & impatiently said I only needed to click what was on my screen. 😅
Manila airport was ok when I visited in November. Didnt check out the lounge tho, since the cue at the security check was quite long and chaotic

Terminal 1 is a little better, but Terminal 3 is just horrendous. Was busy and hot even at 4am
Luv your vids, Dan! I think the 'infamous' International airport you're referring to is actually Terminal 1 - not Terminal 3, which you show. T3 is a couple of steps up from T1 would you believe.
The worst airport IMO is London Heathrow. 3 hours waiting time for immigration clearance for passengers coming in from Asian countries, understaffed, the goddamn officers at the counters take their own sweet time to pass everyone and guess what? I had a 9:20 am flight to Abu Dhabi and just check-in alone took me 3 hours despite being at the airport by 6 since I’ve been told that it’s an extremely unreliable airport. Security takes another 1 hour and they start the final boarding call for passengers when the goddamn security officer isn’t even letting us finish our clearance. I was lucky to board it 2 minutes before the gates closed. Never ever returning to London if I’m going to arrive at Heathrow. Even an airport in a village would be so much better than this one. By far, THE WORST AIRPORT
I once transited through NAIA terminal 1 to go to China. There were 2 giant Boeing 777s and the people transiting (which was at least 30%) had to go through (I'm not kidding you) 1 security checkpoint. It took over an hour and we almost missed our connection.
I am from the Philippines. I don't think our airport is that bad. But I agree it's boiling hot. Also, there is a long queue in any airport in the world, not just in our airport.

For me the worst airport I've ever flown from was Cancun. Completely packed, definitely too small for the amount of passengers without a place to sit. The best was an airport in Malta. They have an open air terrace which is absolutely fantastic for people that are scared of flying and need a bit of fresh air before departure
Stop picking on Manila Airport. Been to a little over 100 countries .... really a lot of countries have bad airports. Didn't bother me, not all countries are affluent. You are visiting to experience people and culture. The inconveniences are parts of travel experience. I find Mexico City, Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, Lima, La Paz, Caracas, Kathmandu, Colombo, Cairo ... I find less nice compared to Manila.... didn't bother me
that airport is a curse 😂
Manila International is far cleaner than San Francisco International. Employees are friendlier as well.
you should definitely visit Tribhuban International Airport in nepal😂
Unpopular opinion but I really like how NAIA is very no non-sense. You check in, you fly. You arrive, the exit is next to the carousel. After traveling to other countries, I got tired of huge airports.

From my experience, it depends on the airlines and the terminal. Stay away from terminal 1 at the least. Also ever heard of the saying, "you get what you paid for," well, it's real in the Philippines. Cheap flights are a nightmare to navigate, especially check-ins and their usual 5+ hour delays, but major airlines are easier but expensive, almost twice as much as the cheaper ones.
