Tutubi only flew with Seair twice on a round-trip ticket to Busuanga, the gateway to Coron, Northern Palawan and has these observations about the pros and cons of Seair:
Seair flights are not for the faint-of-heart for you can feel the small plane's banking in your stomach.
With the use of small aircraft, they're the only ones flying direct to Caticlan and Batanes airports but also the first ones to cancel flights during strong winds and typhoons
Seair's free baggage allowance is limited and sometimes too much excess baggage charges and baggage allowance limitations
At a flight altitude of about 10,000 feet, you can see much more magnificent views below than in a jumbo jet cruising at 33000 feet or higher.
