Manila Airport and Getting to Caticlan (Boracay) Airport

About
The Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA, also known as Manila Airport) has four terminals. A comprehensive description of the airport, list of airlines servicing each terminal, transfer between terminals, hotels in front of Terminal 3, ATMs, SIM cards, and others can be found here.
 

Transportation

There’s a shuttle bus which operates between terminals. However, due to the volume of passengers, you may have to queue and wait longer.

You may want to take Grab Car/Taxi (like Uber), Yellow Airport Taxi (fixed rate). If you’re arriving at Terminal 3, right across Bay 6 is the Grab booth. You may ask the booth attendant to book a Grab/Car/Taxi for you. Otherwise, download the Grab app, then make your reservation.

Getting to Caticlan/Boracay, then to your hotel (vice versa):

On average (as of July 2024), there are 29 flights per day between Manila (MNL) Airport to/from Caticlan/Boracay (MPH), serviced by Philippine Airlines, Cebu Pacific, Cebgo, and Philippines Air Asia. The flight from Manila to Caticlan is about one hour. The Caticlan Airport is also known as Boracay Airport or Godofredo F. Ramos Airport.

From Caticlan Airport it’s only about a 10-minute land transfer ride to Caticlan Jetty Port, where there are speedboats or local boats that will take you to Boracay in about 10 minutes. From there a short land transfer ride to your hotel. To avoid hassle and stress-free travel, we recommend that you book a “door-to-door” transfer service from Caticlan Airport to/from your hotel. This transfer service can be booked through your hotel, Cebu Pacific option to add a transfer service when you book your flight, or by another service provider.

Take note that there is another airport option from Manila to Caticlan which is Kalibo Airport (serviced by Cebu Pacific, Philippine Airlines, and Air Asia). The bus ride from Kalibo Airport to Caticlan Jetty Port is about 1 hour and 30 minutes. Airfare from Manila to Kalibo is usually cheaper, but you have to consider the transfer cost and time.

If you are flying to Caticlan/Boracay in the afternoon, we suggest that you take the flight that will arrive at Caticlan Airport about 5:00 PM or earlier. It will be nice to take the boat ride with daylight. If needed, there are many hotels and other type of accommodations right across Terminal 3 which is easily accessible thru Runway Manila, which is a pedestrian walkway bridge that connects Newport City (a fully integrated accommodations and entertainment complex with NAIA Terminal 3).
