    Funny story. NAIA's reputation as the worst airport in the Asian hemisphere is famous among Japanese travelers, so I decided to test it. Pre-covid, I put my broken laptop inside my check-in suitcase on a flight with Philippine Airlines from Tokyo to Manila. I wondered will it get stolen or not and when I opened my suitcase at the hotel... my broken laptop vanished 🤣
    Since that day, I've told my friends to dispose of their broken electronics inside a suitcase onboard a flight to Manila cause the friendly employees at NAIA will gladly dispose of them for you. Here in Japan you have to pay to recyclye/dispose of your broken electronics (like a Filipino environment tax) so I'll gladly let the Philippines do it for free.

    NAIA has had problems ever since I visited Manila and I'm talking about the 1980s. I am now considered an experienced traveller and rarely encounter such scams. Prime targets are first time travellers who do not have experience of airports. Personally I avoid NAIA and use Clark for my travels. I've always found the staff there friendly, efficient and helpful.

    i was told by Philippine airline checkin to pay for my seats where i had upgraded from economy to premium economy. I informed the woman that i had already paid when i upgraded but she said no and that i must pay again. I started to get a bit angry and she called a manager. This woman also explained that i must pay for the upgraded seats and again i explained that when you upgrade online that you must pay with credit card immediately. After about 30 minutes and my voice getting louder they finally agreed that i could pass through without making any payment.

    I have been to the Philippines over 15 times in the last 12 years. Taken many flights Domestically to other Islands also. Have only had problems after exiting the Airport and in Manila. Small scams (i am white) of having to overpay. Puti Pricing is what I call it diba. I always thought I was safe once inside the Airport, sadly that is changing now. I never stay in Manila longer than I have to. Lots of small theft happens there. I LOVE the Province, have a nice house there and just bought some property near Tarlac. The Philippines will be my home soon. I love it there. Most of the people are great so it is sad that I am hearing this trouble. Thanks for sharing Jennifer T!

My latest thing was as I was passing my hand carry through security and I had to go through the metal detector, the security guy looks at me and asks me am I a man or a woman? I am a 70 year old male with almost no hair and definitely don't look anything like a lady. I was so insulted, what business does he have asking me that question? What has that to do with security? I thought about making a stink about it but realised I had better say nothing as they are all powerful and I didn't want problems. In retrospect, I should have reported him. It is really time the government did something about NAIA, it is ruining the reputation of the Philippines. When I left the Philippines I went via Cebu, what a pleasure.

    hi, Jen currently in NAIA heading for Singapore. I know there are some problems here but as a frequent traveler here I have always had a smooth experience. We landed 3 weeks ago and had no issues with arrival. We got through immigration quickly both arriving and departing. I hope nobody else experiences what they went through it just ruins the reputation of a wonderful country I’ve visited for the last 35 years. By bringing attention to this like you are hopefully will force change of behavior. Note United wants $100 for 1 pound over weight. We had to shift things around to avoid it,p. Thankfully no personal bank account was on a slip of paper! Continue the fight we need people like you to make everyone aware that when traveling you must pay attention to everything going around you! Scammers are always around the corner looking for those inexperienced travelers to pray on. For those experienced travelers never get too comfortable and let your guard down!

      I and our family take only 1 regular suitcase each , with below required baggage allowance every time we go to the Philippines ever since we came here in 1976. We don’t want to burden ourselves while traveling. No balikbayan box sent ,just ourselves. Thank God our families in the Philippines loved our presence and not the materials. Back home ,they ❤usually say ,what you got there,we got it here too. Just my testimony.

    As much as I don't like Manila Airport and using it, I never had a problem when I went through there two weeks ago. Also to be honest with you my flight would have been a prime target flight to have gotten luggage stolen because it was a flight from Los Angeles to Manila on Philippine Airlines and the plane was booked full. When I was at the check-in line at LAX a lot of Filipino expats had multiple upon multiple luggage and cardboard boxes which I'm sure the cardboard boxes had many items they was bringing back to their families. My flight had no issue.

      In English we often correlate a ""guest" as a person that doesn't pay or is treated special than the "regular" person. Instead we are not treated special in any way. Actually taken advantage of if anything. "Foreign tax" is a commonly word used there. Let's just call it for what it is, "scammed". This is extremely racist.

Like it or not....Clearly, the Philippines is NOT a place for you.

    LET ME ADD TO THAT. When you buy alcoholic drinks at Duty Free Shops like whiskey, cognac, etc., the bottles are usually put in a plastic bag. On your way out, airport boys offer to help you with your cart. The modus operandi is: the plastic bag is “accidentally” dropped from the cart and the bottles break, so you wouldn’t have any use for the spirits anymore. The “kind” helper respectfully asks if he can have them; siyempre, you agree.
    They pass the drinks thru a sieve with their barkadas and party!

    Nangyari sa amin yan sa NAIA in 2022 na over daw ang baggage namin. I made a prepaid baggage for 10 kls at the Ortigas PAL Office but then when we checked in the baggage with PAL at the NAIA airport bound for Cebu, the agent said Nothing is showning 10 kg in the system. I was told to pay by the check-in agent for P 2000+ daw. So I have to rush to the PAL office adjacent to the NAIA security area and have to pay again but was issued something like P 600.0+ invoice. We almost missed our fligh to Cebu. Kaya be very mindful of the items and baggages that you take with you & bring to the airport lalo na ang mga hand carry items natin na purse at pitaka na may laman na pera, ID & passport at inyong dala-dalang jewelries and most importantly matalas ang mata at presence of mind kapag nasa Security checks sa machines ang ating mga hand carry baggages. Kung 2 or more of you are travelling together dapat magkasunod kayong mag pa check para di masalisihan. Alam nyo na ang mga nangyayari dyan lately para hindi masira ang bakasyon nyo, wasted time and worries sa mga nawalang gamit at sa mga di inaasahang nangyari sa biyahe. Other tips that I would like to share, buy an Apple tags for your checked in baggages and also sa inyong main hand carry hand bag if you can afford it. Tulad nang sinabi ni Maam, Never trust anyone na nakilala nyo lang ng panandalian lalo na sa Airports kasi yang kadalasang MO na tumutulong kuno ng mga ilan dyan sa ating airport.

    Love your passion - could not agree more, it is a national embarrassment. Unfortunately, this widespread corruption is what is keeping foreign investment out of the Philippines. Imagine Apple, Samsung, and LG staying away from manufacturing because of the ramped corruption - that is exactly what has happened and the list goes on and on. Even though the wages are even lower than Vietnam and India, they all passed up the Philippines for manufacturing any thing (even components)... That is truly sad.
