Does anyone know how far the international airport is from the domestic one in Manila? It says on the web site that they are close but is it walking distance? We have 1 1/2 hours between our arrival from Hong kong and departure to Caticlan. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

I do know that it is not walking distance- I have asked our relatives in Manila to get back with me on how far it is and how much time it will take to go there.

It is near but not walking distance. It shouldn't take 10 minutes by car or shuttle. I know there is free shuttle service between the International and Domestic Airports. Which airport are you arriving in? We have 2 international airports, one solely for Philippine Airlines and the other for all the other airlines. I will get info for you tomorrow as to where in the airport you could find the free shuttle.

Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA Terminal 1) to Philippine Airlines Terminal 2 is about 3-5 minutes by car.

About 3-5 minutes also from NAIA to other Domestic airport . They are all in the same area.

BillT is right but with Airport, traffic, it is always safer to give more time cushion.

Better safe than sorry.

Immigration lines can be long, so I suggest you tell your stewardess you are catching a flight in 1.5 hours so they can give you priority disembarkation.

There is free shuttle service to the domestic airport. After you exit on the Arrival Lobby, turn to your right and you will see the sign board or just ask any airport personnel/security regarding the location of the free airport shuttle.

The airport sms service where they can answer any of your queries. They reply quickly.

Thank-you so much all of you. This has been really helpful. Our flight in is Cathay pacific and the flight out is Spirit Airlines. On the voucher it says domestic Terminal 1. We'll do as you suggest and get the shuttle. We will only have hand baggage so we should be ok.
Thanks!

Yes, better approach flight attendants/ground staff for connecting flights. If in case you miss the free airport shuttle, there are plenty of taxi/cab in the area but never take those who refuse to use their meter. Fare could only range PHP40-50, less than USD1.

As far as I know, Terminal 1 of Cathay Pacific is the same as the Terminal 1 of Domestic flights. BUT Spirit Airlines terminal isn't in Manila, it's in Clark, Pampanga, about 2 hours from Manila (drive)

But I think OP was talking about Asian Spirit (now Zest Air) which has route Manila to Caticlan and vice versa.
