Manilla Airport

Post by PH-RVG »

Does anybody know what is the best way to get from Manilla International terminal to the Domestic terminal? How long does it take?

2nd question: is there an ATM on Manilla airport to get local currency?

Other comments on MNL?

Well, there is no such thing as a separate domestic airport in Manila. It is the same airport for domestic and international flights.

The difference is that domestic terminal and international terminal(s) are separate.
It will take about 10-15 mins to get there.

The Filipinos call the domestic and international terminals "airport" as if it were different airfields...

But the domestic terminal is quite a distance from the international one. If you connect on Cebu Pacific Air you may use the free shuttle bus (i never used it but rumours say it still runs despite 5J being a LCC now)
I suggest you mail to 5J and ask how it works!

Otherwise you will have to take a taxi but it´s hard not to get ripped off!!! :roll:
Drivers always find excuses not to use the meter and heavily overcharge... :evil:
Other ways to get there are not recommendable if you have a lot of luggage! :!:

I really don´t know if there´s an ATM in the terminals since i was never in need of it at the airport.

I was there in September. Had to get a domestic connection to Davao City. The Domestic side of the Manila Aquino Airport was a 5 minute walk from the International side. When you arrive you should be directed where to go if you have a connection. There is a place that will set up a Taxi for you at the Airport and make sure you dont get ripped off. Just ask for information.

The Domestic terminal I went to was called the Centenial terminal. This is just for Philippine Airlines domestic flights which is what I had.. There is another terminal for domestic flights by other airlines.

My goodness, this sounds almost as the Bangkok problem 15-20 years ago.
And the strange Johannesburg lay out.
