i love your blog!!!
ReplyDeleteI never knew there are now these many airports back home. I should visit more often.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this information.
Thanks for the info. With so many different fees to pay, I've forgotten how much the int'l terminal fee + airport tax was.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my inspirational blogs!
ReplyDeletethank you very much for your blog...very helpful....
ReplyDeletegreat blog!
ReplyDeleteThe different terminal fees among Philippine Airports will be very useful during the public hearing increasing the fee in DZR Airport, Tacloban City from P30 to P200 on Nov 12 9am. Thank you very much. I hope we in Region 8 wont suffer the same experience as what Bacolod-Silay had been through when their public hearing was claimed to lack media & public knowledge.
ReplyDeleteAs to GenSan City, their terminal fee is P40 ao nov 1, 2009.Same with Ormoc City with the plan to increase to P150.
anonymous, you're going to increase terminal fee to P200? it's probably too much in my opinion. upgrade the airport first before proceeeding with the increase
ReplyDeleteGensan terminal fee is 40php.. nice info here, now I know if I will fly from Manila or Clark hehe
ReplyDeletethanks for a great blog. it's very helpful. keep up! God bless!!!
ReplyDeletei hope na sa NAIA airport wala na yong mga empleyado na mga kurakot. lalo na pag mag claim ka ng baggage mo yung secdurity agad mag paparining wag ng buksan ang mga bagahi, tapos yung mga empleyadong taga X'RAY kakausapin ka nila ng kausapin tapos kung hindi ka mag ingat wala na yung mga gamit mo,,, tatlong beses yan nangyari sa akin pero hindi po sila nakakalusot dahil alam ko na mangyari,
ReplyDeleteQuery: Should a passenger in a connecting flight pay separate terminal fee in every leg of the flight? Meaning, if I pay a terminal fee in Naga airport and reach NAIA 3, should I pay another terminal fee in NAIA for my connecting flight to General Santos City?
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, haha good question but I don't know. all my flights come from Manila. but if get there, there's a separate passage for connecting flights of the passengers via the same airlines so probably none, but don't quote me on this one :P
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteMy two sisters are coming to Australia for 3 weeks. They have a tourist visa passport. Could you please tell me how much travel tax and other fees that they have to pay at the airport. I am quite confused with different rate on the website. I just need to know so i can give them enough money to pay these fees.
anonymous, it's just P750 for international flights at NAIA. I don't know if you add the terminal fee from the domestic airport if you're coming from other places than manila. If the travel tax of P1620 is not included in your plane ticket (economy), then prepare for it too. there are no airport tax in foreign airports except thailand (AFAIK)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the detailed info.
ReplyDeleteinquiry: does infant who is traveling with us should pay the terminal fee?
ReplyDeleteas far as i know infants and children pay terminal fees
ReplyDeleteMy friends and I are going to Davao this February. Are we going to pay the terminal fee of p200 from MNL to Davao? Then another p200 from Davao to MNL? Thanks! :)
ReplyDeletehow about infants? how much it would cost them for international flights
ReplyDeleteMy Family and I are going to Macau this April, i want to know how much is terminal fee and the airfare in NAIA 3? Thanks! :)

ask ko lng po kng may promo ang negros navigation na 2 to 3 mnths pa ang flyt para hindi po ma delay sa pgbili ng ticket ?? plz reply po tnx papunta po manila to gensan ....tnx po....
ReplyDeletethis taxes that all passengers use to pay for are the once that are being paid by consumers for the improvement of the airport. however, i find it hard to see all of the implementations that most airports have made in their airlines. they must make sure that all the taxes paid by consumers are evident. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteDear Administrator,
ReplyDeletePlease verify the Airport of Clark Airport International departure, there are 2 different fees being mentioned: P550 or P750? (appear on the same page)
hello? magkano po ang kalibo to davao? im misill
ReplyDeleteHi..
ReplyDeleteI would just like to ask if Davao Airport accepts credit card to pay the international travel tax of 1,620?
Hi..
ReplyDeleteI would just like to ask if davao airport accepts credit card as payment for the international travel tax of 1,620php?
Thanks
Question: is PH travel tax which is 1620 is different from terminal fee 500 + security fee 100 total of 600? Because when i paid the ticket of my sister and my mom i paid also the 1620pesos and when they check in to airport (clark) they ask them to pay 600 again. According to them its not included in ticket i paid. So are we paying 2 terminal fees?
ReplyDelete@crish sese
ReplyDeleteP1620 is travel tax, not terminal fee. it is correct. most airlines already included both travel tax and terminal fees in their fare.
