Trip Report: We’re Going to Palawan

We woke up at 3:30 A.M. as we planned to leave the house at 4:30 as we have to travel to Manila to catch our plane to Palawan. The trip from Angeles City to Manila would roughly be an hour and another 30 minutes going to the airport. We’ve been discussing for a week if we’d rent a driver to drop and pick us up from the airport or use a service called “Park and Fly”. I decided on the later as it seems the most economical way and easier too (details of “Park and Fly” here). By 4:36 A.M., the 9 of us  (7 adults and 2 kids) were on our way to Manila.

We got to Manila at about 5:30 as my highest speed was only 90 km/ph. Better safe than sorry. We proceeded to Park and Fly and were done in 10 minutes. Very efficient service if you may ask. At the Domestic Airport, we got to immigration quickly and had to pay Php200 (Qr20) for Terminal Fees. After waiting for 2 hours or so, we finally boarded the plane.

Cebu Pacific usually have morning and afternoon trips to Palawan and I chose to take the morning flight so we could still tour the city upon arriving. The flight from Manila to Palawan would take an hour and forty-five minutes. The flight was good. The plane was clean and new and there was ample leg room space.  The crew even conducted an in-flight bring-me game in which I won a Cebu Pacific Notebook. For those who are familiar with the “Bring Me” game, I would like to say that you don’t have to get off your seat and rush to the cabin crew to give him your item. You just have to raise the item being asked for and whoever raises their item first, wins.

We landed safely at about 10:45 in the morning. The Arrival area of the Palawan Domestic Airport was quite small and had one conveyor belt. Since we were probably the first to check-in from Manila, we were the last ones to get our bags. Thankfully, Jay, the driver in Kawayanan Resort, was already there to meet us and took us to Kawayanan Resort where we would be staying for the next 4 nights.
