Manila Domestic Airport

It's been centuries ago since I last visited this old Manila domestic airport! Actually, I thought this airport no longer exists! Apparently, this still serves Seair and Zest Air (and other small planes, I guess).

It was frustrating at first, knowing that this airport is already too old and ugly, and most of the time, chaotic. But I guess that was just the memory that Cebu Pacific left. Now, this airport is cleaner, less crowded and more organized. Or maybe because it's still early? (4am!)

And as for the amenities, look!

It also improved a lot - I don't remember this prayer room and laptop area before! Then, across these are enclosed areas for the Infant Feeding Station and the Kiddie Traveler's Lounge! While everything else's pretty much the same, like the old cold stainless seats, it's still so nice to see that this airport has improved, rather than left ugly for the country's minor airlines.

Best of all, there's FREE and FAST WIFI connection, exactly why I can blog NOW!!!

Now as I recall the crowded and chaotic check-in lines of Cebu Pacific in Terminal 3, and the long walks to far gates, I guess I'm liking Manila Domestic Airport more. hehee.

(Oh, still, BOOOOO for the P200 terminal fee!)

Wow! Buti pa ang domestic airport may bagong amenities. And it looks nice and clean. Ganyan na rin ba ang NAIA or sobrang bulok pa rin?

which NAIA, the old one? i dunno, last international trips ko kase -- Cebu Pac (NAIA Terminal 3) and PAL (Centennial Terminal) -- Both are new and really nice. ewan ko lang ung old NAIA, yung para sa ibang international airlines. haven't tried :D

The old NAIA. Hehe! I guess it's still the same. I haven't used terminal 3 or the centennial terminal, but I heard they're nice and new. Kaso ayoko mag PAL pauwi (IF I come home) kasi ang mahaaalll!! haha!

ah tlga? kala ko pa naman mura ang PAL (kung US trips). mura sha pag may seat sale, nakuha ko ung osaka non round trip for just 14k :) that's very rare tho, relatively, compared to other local airlines.
