Here is a Departure process for Manila NAIA kzread.info/dash/bejne/fJurx61pl7yuoag.html

That's the kind of reality i was excatly looking for! Thanks A LOT🙏🏼

I am really glad i watched this video as in 2 weeks time i will be in the same process as you were in this video. Now i know what to expect and will not freak out when they want to hold onto my passport.

I've got a connection to Bangkok in Manila from Brisbane with Philippine Airlines this August. This was a helpful video so i know what to expect. Cheers.

Oh wow that a lot of walking and I'm planning to travel over there I'm going to be so lost

Honestly, other than the weird passport hold (what’s that all about) the transfer seems comparable to Newark when connecting. Ok, but not really designed for intra-terminal transfers. It would be great if there was seamless access to all terminals landside so one could check out the other terminals during a layover. It was a treat to see you go down to tarmac level, I’ve always wanted to use those escalators.

don't be surprised this is the ph, moreover if you don't know already last year the power cutoff on the airport 3 times in the same year

If taking an international-international PAL connection, you won't have to worry about this unusual procedure in a few months' because all international PAL flights will be under one roof by then - terminal 1.

Are they putting a Business Class Lounge in T1 for passengers with a PAL International connection? Or do you still have to bus over to T2 and then back again? We have a 6 hour layover there in October, on our way to Canada.

@paololim3513 Thank you. Since I posted my question, I did see elsewhere information that PAL were constructing a new international lounge in T1, that would be opening " later in the year," (which could be any time between now and December 31st. ☺️) All I am really interested in is avoiding the rigamarole of having to go around to T2 and then going back to T1. If there is one in T1 that PAL gains access into, I really don't care who owns it. Just as long as my partner and I can gain access to a lounge, to relax, before starting the 2nd stage of our 26 hour trip. ( All with PAL.)

@@Bellakelpie, the thing about that is you need to do that when transferring between domestic and international. T2 was created in the first place to minimise the inconvenience of such and now they have to split the terminal up again.

NAIA's Terminal 1 is entirely in Parañaque, Terminal 2 is in the city boundary of Pasay and Parañaque, and Terminals 3 and 4 are entirely in Pasay. If all those terminals are connected without leaving security, I hope the Metro Manila Subway will connect those terminals, except Terminal 4 which is separate and still handles only domestic flights. The other 3 terminals handle both domestic and international flights.

@@pennyfitzgeraldfangumball2024, I know that Terminal 1 is dedicated entirely to Philippine Airlines that serves both domestic and long distance international flights including 2 in Canada and 4 in the US (HNL, LAX, SFO, YVR, YYZ & JFK). Terminal 2 is mainly for domestic flights. Terminal 3 is mainly international handling multiple airlines to multiple international destinations and even serves 9 Middle Eastern destinations (MCT, DXB, AUH, DOH, BAH, DMM, KWI, RUH & JED) and Istanbul (IST). I know I don't have a lot of research, but what else I need to say?

Did you need to do something related with COVID-19 for transferring? Like PCR or showing a yellow card, or scanning QR things? Because I am going home through Manila airport next week with my family.

I transferred in this airport many times. Always very chaotic.

I am planning to travel to manila from Bangkok in end of Dec with Family of 4 ,and than take a connecting flight to Boracay from Manila with a time gap of 1.30 hrs . Is that time enough to switch airlines ( thai to PAL EXPRESS)?

same process from narita-manila-davao? :)

Did you have to go thru screening again?

MNL is bad for international or even domestic connections because the terminals are not interconnected. That could be a reason for taking your passport until ready to board the transfer bus. US isn't any better. Try arriving intl flights to any gateway cities in the US and transit for an intl flight. Miami was hell from So Am to Canada, 3 hours to get through immigration, customs, security, took me 3 hours to get to my next flight at another terminal, with only 5 minutes to spare.

Terminal 1 more spacing and shop compared Terminal 2?

Hi Virt, I will have a flight to San Francisco with a layover in Manila from Ho Chi Minh City using Philippine Airlines. Do I need to claim and check-in my baggage again in Manila for the flight to San Francisco?

At what point did you get your passport back? That’s crazy. What happens if you don’t give it to them? Can’t you just go to the bus?

Where are you going

how many hours is your layover ?

Did you arrive on an international flight and need to transfer to a domestic flight? So Will this require you to go from Terminal 1 to Terminal 2 and keep your passport before moving on bus?

The bus is free? Canu walk from terminal1 to2?

@@clems5722 not sure about the visas but i heard all international flight will be under one terminal which is terminal 1. so basically we dont have to change terminal, just directly walks to gate, and the luggage depends on flight company, if you have 1 booking then you just have to collect at the last destination.

I won’t be flying till early next year (LAX-ILO) but I want to be ahead of the game. If my flight lands in Terminal 1 at 1825, but I have a 10 hour layover till my next flight in Terminal 2 departs at 0430, what would be the best approach to getting some rest, if any, and getting from T1 to T2?

There are not airport hotels. Most hotels are about 15 minutes away by free airport shuttle. Although even for a short stay those are pricey.

Manila is one of some cities with only one commercial airport. Other cities only having one commercial airport are Dublin, Barcelona, Atlanta and Sydney, just to name a few. NAIA (MNL) is the only commercial airport serving Metro Manila located in Pasay and Parañaque. All 4 terminals are not connectable in one without leaving security, except Terminals 1 and 2 are connectable with each other without leaving security. If you want to get to Terminals 3 and 4 from Terminals 1 or 2, amd vice versa, you need to check in security. There will be 2 new airports that can help decongest NAIA. One of them is Sangley Point Airport in Cavite City, Cavite in the southwest right by the Manila Bay, but currently it still handles general aviation, but the expansion of becoming a commercial airport is still under construction and is officially Manila's second airport, but I don't know when will the expansion of Sangley Point Airport be complete. The 3rd airport on the other hand is Bulacan/New Manila International Airport in Bulakan, Bulacan in the northwest also right by the Manila Bay, but is still under construction and is expected to be complete by 2026. You know, when Manila is served by 3 airports in the future, NAIA's destination name is still "Manila", but I'd rather rename that "Manila-NAIA". As for the 2 new airports, Sangley Point's destination name will be "Manila-Cavite" and Bulacan's airport will have a destination name called "Manila-Bulacan". What do you think of that?

I think old building could be historic tho. But for current situation they need to renovate the building, no need to demolish but enhance what its needed and absolutely change the interior and layout. Maybe they can learn from other country who has old style airport building but revitalized such as Soekarno Hatta Airport Indonesia Terminal 1 & 2 or KLIA Malaysia.

I hope if the gov really decided to renew the airport they use glass design airport like other airports in the world such as airports in China, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, and so on. It's not only saving the energy (less electrical consumption from lamp) and lesser operational budget but also giving the vibe of spacious space.

NMIA international-to-international connections better not be like this. Even if it did, it should have better ways and enough space to accommodate everyone’s travel needs.

Terminal 1 at the gates was the worst I’ve experienced ever. Don’t know how someone decided it would be a good idea to have international flights which use large planes use gates with waiting areas that at most can hold 1/2 of a 777 or A330.

Worst airport
