Getting from Manila airport to the city center

Manila is served by Ninoy Aquino International Airport (MNL), located approximately 7 km south of the city center. The airport handles all major domestic and international flights to the Philippine capital. Airport transfers to city center destinations include taxis, ride-hailing services, airport buses, jeepneys, and private transfers. Journey times vary significantly depending on traffic conditions, which can be heavy throughout the day in Metro Manila.

Notes:

  • Prices in PHP (approximately USD 1 = PHP 56); table created in 2025 and subject to change.
  • Manila traffic is notoriously heavy; journey times can double or triple during rush hours (7-9 AM and 5-8 PM).
  • Coupon taxis offer fixed rates and are recommended for first-time visitors to avoid fare disputes.
  • Jeepneys do not enter the airport; passengers must walk to the main road outside the terminal area.
  • NAIA has four terminals; ensure you know which terminal your flight uses as inter-terminal transfers can take 20-30 minutes.
  • We recommend checking official transport websites for your travel planning.
