Jan6- direct Toronto-Manila. Landing 4:30 in the morning. Luggage was ready in 20 minutes Total time to clear airport 30 to 40 minutes very simple very organized excellent facilities lots of space - this was five in the morning - NOTE - wait and buy sim card outside of airport 1/4 price DUTY FREE- Example Chocolate also johnnie walker was quadruple the price that you would find in a large store in any city (save your money)
This brought back memories! I haven't been back since February 2011 (not that I am counting). As you walked out of Terminal 2 I could immediately feel the sudden change in heat, the humidity and the smell of the air.
I deeply appreciate this video a lot...Soon I am planning a trip to the Philippines and the process shown here looks a lot easier than I anticipated. Its great to see a smooth process. Thanks again for sharing this video!
Found this video both entertaining and informative. Hoping to visit my Filipino girlfriend for the first time later this year. Have never left the UK - ever, so this is all new to me. Many thanks for giving me an insight of what to expect when the time comes!
@@cliddilyFilipino is a non-gender identification of your Nationality. If you have your passport it will always say Filipino even if you’re a female. It will not say Filipina just because you’re a female. It’s the same as American. It will not say Americano/Americana. The only difference is Filipino ends with a vowel which can easily be confused as a gender sensitive noun. So he is right to to say Filipino girlfriend.
Its best to download the Grab app upon arrival and book a grab car. Thery're more reliable than taxis and the Grab app (=Uber for Southeast Asia) is used everywhere in Southeast Asia. Cannot recommend this point highly enough. I'm A British Filipino expat who moved to the Philippines last year. Ask where the grab desk is upon arrival and they'll help you there. There should be someone from the company to help tourists book a grab from there.
@@OnTimeReports and what is the app for QR code? Is the customs form the one you get on the airplane? Can it be downloaded and filled out or is there an app for it too? Thanks!!
Hi PO sana masagut nyo po katanungan ko .. paano kung connecting flight ng PAL papunta cebu pagkatapos ba ng imiigration kukunin ba yung bagahe ? o direct sa cebu na kukunin ??
I noticed a lot of passengers had carry-on luggage. I read online that the carry on luggage had to weigh under 7 kilos. I am thinking their carry on luggage was probably more than 7k...do they allow you to bring it onboard? I read online it is a hefty fee if it is overweight...
@OnTimeReports ok thanks! I will go Philippines and I need the little information! And one question please tell me ... visa for 1 month will buy on airport 🛫 ?
So when u hit customs they just scan you in that’s it? I thought they ask you how long your be and you have to show u have money in ur bank account and stuff like that.
Wonder what that groaning was at 01:22 😮 I never get tired of the sight of BGC, driving there was always so much easier than the rest of the city. On my last trip it was pretty easy landing from Vancouver too, full vaccination and documents at the ready made it a breeze to get through!
(as of today) PHILIPPINE AIR requests that all passenger use mask but not enforcing strictly - NOTE it is easy to get sick on plane full of shared air i choose to use mask unless eating Personally i dont want to be sick on vacation (last summer 8/8 of family members travelling inside canada got covid on 4 hr flight - we were sick for our Vacation )
Nice airport. My first visit to Manila is extremely fun. Most important #AnisTransport car rental did a great job during my stay in Manila. They did pickup from Airport ontime . Nice city 🌆
as a tourist u ned to watch out when u arive at NAIA. From the moment you set foot on land you are a potential target. That starts with passport control until you leave the airport and even then you are not safe from scammers, thieves, etc. everything in the airport and around it is a playground for thieves . , and that goes for tourists who come in as well as for those who leave .
@@consorciasantiago4009 There are many airports that are safe for Foreign travelers and where you do not have to be careful contstandly like in Naia . NAIA is a special case. This is where it starts when you leave the plane. The monitoring services are the first to try to deceive and lie to you. BI. Security . Baggage handler. Customs . Taxis . Banks . They all have only one goal and that is to rob you. They will pull out all the tricks of the circus. I don't think there are many honest people working at that airport. In any case, I've never come across one and I travel quite a lot.
Worst airport procedures ever for international connecting flights! They collected all passengers passports and had us open our checked bagages for inspection. The way they gave us back our passports was the way a teacher passes out test scores by calling out names 🙄 We had to go thru security check twice. When we got to our gate, we had to go thru security check again. Oh, and if you leave your designated gate area, you have to go thru security again; every single time. Staffs are not friendly at all.
@@borntotravel9757 They need to work on their procedures. They were disorganized. We followed their rules. I am complaining about their procedures. Never once did I mention we acted out and refuse to comply.
@@ayc1997 i was born there and recently visited… And I agree… they have the worst airport ive been in. Some of the immigration officers think they own the airport
@AvC really true 💯%. ignore people who won't accept an honest opinion. keep up on sharing your suggestion so blind people will wake up the realities. Thanks
So-called security in any part of the Philippines has nothing to do with protecting anyone against anything, it's about giving as many people as possible a job, and to be able to charge foreigners as much as possible... It's pure harrassment...
PAL uses terminal 2 exclusively, although other airlines also use it. terminal 1 is used by other international airlines. terminal 3 is for domestic and other international airlines.
How do you prove or not prove that you been vaccinated from United states? I know you fil out the green code but how they know , if I cant remember the exact date I was vaccinated. Do they ask for a card. Because I dont have a card
I hope the experience at NMIA will not be anything like this. Plenty of space at NMIA to effectively handle significant passenger traffic. NMIA should be able to handle additional direct flights going as far as Atlanta with an Airbus A350.
this is a little out dated, i travelled in November of 23 and wasn't even asked about my QR code, the government of the Philippines also wants you to register for a QR code before departure which was not required.. The travel requirements seem to change by the week.
I have done both Clark, Pampanga, and NAIA. I always prefer Clark. No wait, really friendly staff, just a better experience. But if you have to fly into NAIA, Manila, well, it's ok, job gets done, but they are less friendly. However they are honey bunnies compared to the animals in TSA in US.
Philippines needs to drop all covid mandate requirements like the rest of the world. It's a proven fact the vax doesn't stop transmission or prevent infection.
That's not the point of ANY vaccine. vaccines are only meant to activate/stimulate/train the immune system to be able to recognize and fight a real infection so that recovery from them happens much better than if you never had a vaccine. I think you need to educate yourself what vaccines are.
I don’t know about you. But I have been thru thr airport in Manila a few times. And I’ve always had a very positive experience. Yes the lines are long at times. But overall I was treated with kindness and respect. There’s always two sides to the coin !
I've flown into Manila from San Francisco twice within the past year, once to T2, and the last time to T1. Both times needed to transfer to Tacloban. First time took PAL to TAC so didn't need to exit the terminal. But 2nd time took Cebu Pacific in T3, which means taking a shuttle bus that takes you OUTSIDE the airport to get to T3. Are you kidding me? This has to be the worst setup in the world. Can't wait (20+ years?!) for then new airport to be built at Bulacan.
The Philippines customs is way faster than the US. I went through customs fast in Manila, but in the US it took at least an hour of standing in a line (even though I’m a US citizen). Please US airport come up with something better than what we do have.

Wow! Thank you some of my worries are gone now that I've seen how easy it was.
Jan6- direct Toronto-Manila. Landing 4:30 in the morning. Luggage was ready in 20 minutes
Total time to clear airport 30 to 40 minutes very simple very organized excellent facilities lots of space - this was five in the morning
- NOTE - wait and buy sim card outside of airport 1/4 price
DUTY FREE- Example Chocolate also johnnie walker was quadruple the price that you would find in a large store in any city (save your money)
I believe you. Too expensive at Duty Free there as you get off the plane. Try the Duty Free outside the airport. Many selections.
@Tim Kinney I knew it Duty Free is a ripp off Thanks
Where to buy sim card and currency exchange in Manila/Makati?
wow I miss my country.❤

Is all vaccine required or ok to have the 2 covid vaccine and not booster?
what kind of qr code dso u have to have
Are the QR codes just for international connecting flights
So if we pass customs we free to go anywhere we want until our next transit?
Hello! No more vaccination test when arriving?
No
Are there any xray machines at the customs? Or you can just go with your baggage?
Any update on this?
@MidgetNinja101 I haven't seen any x-ray when we went home last year.
Great video thank you! What’s the app to get QR code? Anything that can be filled out before hand for immigrations and customs?
Yes, you’ll fill out the entry form before hand and you might need to show it at check in, as well.
@@OnTimeReports and what is the app for QR code? Is the customs form the one you get on the airplane? Can it be downloaded and filled out or is there an app for it too? Thanks!!
I need the qr code to conecting fly?
Thanks .. your vlog was very informative & helpful
Thank you for making this video.
Hi PO sana masagut nyo po katanungan ko .. paano kung connecting flight ng PAL papunta cebu pagkatapos ba ng imiigration kukunin ba yung bagahe ? o direct sa cebu na kukunin ??
Sa cebu mo na kukunin, sila na yong magtatransfer ng bagahe sa next flight mo
Hindi. Mga baggage handler na ang lilipat mula international to domestic. Deretso ka na sa next flight mo.
If we have transit time for 17 hours. Can we go outside of the airport to the Manila City Centre?
What is the QR code? Is that at the back of passport?
what is the qr code? where did we can get it?
Is the QRcode from Etravel that I fill out.?
I noticed a lot of passengers had carry-on luggage. I read online that the carry on luggage had to weigh under 7 kilos. I am thinking their carry on luggage was probably more than 7k...do they allow you to bring it onboard? I read online it is a hefty fee if it is overweight...
There were no scales at the boarding gate
Very nice ❤
Thanks great video
Hi, what is QR code verification? is Tiket Airplane?
QR code is no longer required
@OnTimeReports ok thanks! I will go Philippines and I need the little information! And one question please tell me ... visa for 1 month will buy on airport 🛫 ?
Pwede nabang lumapag c Arrival Area c Philippine Airport Ang hindi Vaccinated ng Covid?
Hi, can I ask how many hours that it take from the QR code scanning to going outside the airport? TIA.
Less than one hour

Very nice
Hello po! Kailangan pa bang ipresent ang Vaccine ID sa Manila Airport?
Anong terminal Po Ang PAL
Great video 👍
QR code? Any link for that? Thanks
Meron din po b kau nang paalis namn ng pinas? Hinahanap p po ba vax card sa mga bansa like asians countries po? Thanks
👍👍👍🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
So when u hit customs they just scan you in that’s it? I thought they ask you how long your be and you have to show u have money in ur bank account and stuff like that.
Same question I have ^
Someone is mistaken, that was not a smokey Manila. It was overcasted.
Looked like smog to me,
if those were clouds it would of made the windows moist
Do they still need OHP because on the booth i saw the OHP.. but i heard nowadays they need etravel instead of one health pass(OHP). Or you need both?
.
Do they require vaccination for 9 and 12 years old?
Is it still a requirement to have a Covid vaccination to enter the Philippines?
How to get the QR code?
How to go Makati by Bus ?
Thank you, Mabuhay
Is it possible to get visa on arrival for Canada PR in Philippines
Canadians generally don’t need a visa when visiting the Philippines
But I am permanent resident,, ,,, not Canadian citizen

That's the landing gear you're hearing.
Thank you for sharing. I was hoping to catch the area where you can do an extension while in the airport. God bless
What the QR code for ?
The QR code is generated after you fill out the health declaration form.
wow best feeling ever!!
How does the QR code work?
Ano po ba pwede gawin if nhold po ang uncle namin dyan sa immigration pinapabayad ng 250k daw for check book

Qr code for covid 19 vaccine?
What is the purpose if the QR code verification?
To verify you are eligible to enter the country and followed the correct procedures
@@OnTimeReports where and how does one get a QR code if they plan to go to the Philippines?
@@UnivBelt visti etravel.gov.ph. you will be asked to create an account.
@@UnivBelt Maybe from the airline during check-in ( i'm just guessing, i've never flewn before)
Whats the QR code?
What do they do at customs?
What immunizations are required for travel?

Pwede naba pumasok un walang vaccine?
kelangan mo mag test 24 hours bago flight mo.
Has anyone in the comments traveled without the vaccine and did they give you a hard time in customs?
kailangan paba ng etravel qr code? vaccinated card?

Not so crowded during covid time
what sort of questions did they ask, if any?
I think terminal 1 is for PAL international flights
PAL uses terminal 2 exclusively, although other airlines also use it. terminal 1 is used by other international airlines. terminal 3 is for domestic and other international airlines.
I’m flying from USA through PAL, im in terminal 2.
I didn't know that the PAL A321 has IFE. Nice!
I miss Manila.
How do you get the QR code that they show in the video. I will be arriving from the U.S.
Where is This MANILA INTL AIRPORT????
How do you prove or not prove that you been vaccinated from United states? I know you fil out the green code but how they know , if I cant remember the exact date I was vaccinated. Do they ask for a card. Because I dont have a card
I believe uploading proof of vaccination is one of the steps required to obtain a QR code
They only ask what vax you have when filling out the e travel. Doesn’t ask to upload the vax card.
i know im year late but video was awesome. this help me with my Anxiety knowing what to do when i visit Phil in 2026
So I'm traveling here for the first time in a few months, my first time internationally. What are the qr codes they scan?
