International Flights

[GWMinUS]

NAIA, Manila has reopened for International Flights starting immediately, May 11. But it is still not going to be easy.

All incoming passenger must be Tested at the Airport and then go to a Government Quarantine Facility to await their Test Results. If their test is negative they can leave the quarantine facility but must continue to quarantine some other place for 14 days. Costs will probably paid by the arriving Passenger. 

All Flights will be using Terminal 1 and it will be limited to 400 Passengers per Day.  There will be many departing flights to accommodate the 10s of Thousands Foreign Nationals wanting to leave Manila. They are part of the 400 Passenger per Day. That sounds like only ONE B777 per day??

Good Luck!!

As of June 1st, PAL is flying between San Francisco and Los Angeles to Manila. Then offering Domestic Flights to other Cities. But the catch is Foreign Nationals must submit to a 14 day Quarantine upon arrival. It can be at a Government Facility or yo can pay for Quarantine at a approved Hotel or Resort. MoenPic is charging 50,000php for 14 days. That is only USD71 per day if you stay 14 days. Some returning OFWs can get out of Quarantine if they test Negative. Not sure if this apply to Foreigners.

PAL also indicates they will have flights to NYC and major Cities in Europe. Again however the Govt says Flights are for Passengers needing to travel on Business or to return to a Job in the Philippines.

Now where can you get Medical and Travel Insurance???
