Notes:

  • 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.
