Angeles City

Ha ha, this idea is not correct always. April'18 I was in Cebu. Surprisingly I found PAL is 20% cheaper than Cebu Pacific for CEB-MNL. Even I found BKK-MNL-BKK 1500 bht cheaper than Cebu Pacific.

I think those are outlier examples MT cherry-picked to make a point.

If you look at the overall comparisons across 10 or so destinations you will see that PAL is (almost) always much more expensive.

I live here and travel frequently for my work so I am looking at fares regularly. Nevertheless, it's always worth checking comparisons.

I just flew business class return Manila to HK on PAL because I wanted some comfort and to avoid the T3 clusterf*ck so price doesn't always come into it.

Angeles to Sabang. Know its a long trip but thinking if go early from Angeles 4 am ish. Maybe get to Manila 6/7 ish. Then to Batangas Pier. Then to Sabang all in one day. Possibly 4/5 hrs at most.

Know better to break it up but is above doable or am I trying to do too much and should just chill and spend a night in manila.

Looked at Seaplane and too expensive.

Appreciated.

You are trying to do too much. Why spend a complete day of your holiday plus the problems of traffic, late ferry, stress of missing you return etc?

Have you explored Bataan peninsular or Marong area, or the unused nuclear power station, or the animal safari park? All within an easy 1-2 hour drive of AC and have you back in time for happy hour at your favourite bar.

Philippines is not a country for reliable connections and fast transits. Some days it all works, some days it doesn't. Technically anything can be achieved in Ph. Realistically about 20% of plans happen to plan.

Easily doable in half a day, depending on traffic. You just have to get to Bantagas before the last ferry leaves in the afternoon. But I've only done the Sabang to Angeles route. But the reverse path should be easy. You can search for my write-up to find the names of the bus companies. But the people working at the bus stations have always been helpful.

From Angeles, take a trike to Dau bus station.

Buy a ticket to Cubao bus station.

Then buy a ticket to Bantagas Pier.

Then buy ferry ticket to Puerto Galera. Posters here have written that the Sabang route has been stopped. If so, you need to go to Puerto Galera town, and then catch a trike or jeepney to Sabang.

As Mr. E wrote, you can catch the Si-Kat shuttle from the City State hotel in Ermita, Manila. The shuttle combo is easy for tourists. But that cost more. Plus you have to get a taxi from the bus station to the hotel.

Go to the tour desk at the City State Hotel in Ermita. I think the bus for Bantagas Pier leaves at 8.

I agree with Gofer.

PAL fares can be 3 to 4 times the cost of Cebu Pacific alone so I reckon there's a well-heeled sponsor lurking there somewhere.

Yeah, you may be right, could be just a couple of girls going to AC to visit their Auntie. I like to imagine a more sordid adventure for them.

About 4 years ago I was waiting near gate 5 for a Cebu to Clark flight. I noticed a girl in a mini skirt and high heel boots. She had a beautiful body. With her was a foreigner and Pinay. I couldn't tell if she was with the guy or not as neither one held hands or arms with the guy. I thought if she was single then she must be going to Angeles to work. I stood near the CR and later the girl walked by to the cr. I caught her on the way out and we talked for a few minutes. She was very nervous standing there talking to me but I got her cell number.

After we landed at Clark they quickly grab their bags and left. Lo and behold she texted me a few hours later and after some discussions she came to my hotel room around midnight. Turns out she was traveling with her friend and her friend's BF and was very embarrassed to be seen making a hook up. Turns out she was not in the sex business. She was one of the sexiest looking pinays I have been with. We would meet up over the next few years until we both drifted apart. Sometimes when I am inside a 7 I would flashback to her to cum. LOL.

After many flights to and from Clark to Cebu I have not met anyone working in the bars.

Hahaha. I know if I was you, I would have rapidly developed a sore shoulder and been unable to move seats to assist the hostess. 😁.

I'm not doubting your story but the new girl scored some luxury. Normally they arrive on the cheapest boat / bus / ferry not the comfort of a PAL flight.

Of course, she will be working hard to repay the cost of the flight plus whatever the "friend" and mama want to add.

I flew from Cebu to Clark on PAL yesterday and was originally aisle seated next to two 20 something girls both very cute......

I flew from Cebu to Clark on PAL yesterday and was originally aisle seated next to two 20 something girls both very cute, I thought this will be an interesting trip. One of the girls told me she had never flown on a plane before and the other girl was her friend ie mentor. The newbie girl was nervous and wanted the window seat to take pictures. OK, so far, but before takeoff the friendly flight attendant asked me to move seats to an exit row because she had no one sitting there and needed a door puller just in case of disaster so I moved. I am pretty sure the newbie and mentor were making the trip to Angeles to make bank from horny guys. My girl was meeting me at Clark airport with car so I did not get info Because I could not do anything with it. I assume girls might not even know where they will be working until interviewed. My girl told me many girls fly in from Cebu to work short time as bar girls and then go back to their province.

If you aren't looking to have sex with hookers, AC has all the appeal of sitting on a cactus.

A perfect synopsis of the place. There is no reason whatsoever for going there if your motivation isn't chasing hookers.

[PedroMorales]

I am visiting my girlfriend who was a colleague where I work. We are planning on getting married once we both sort out some personal issues. I was curious to visit Angeles to see what it's all about, being an ex-punter. Haha..

Report back on those personal issues after your Angeles threesomes.

[Wicked Roger]

I have taken sand to the beach couple of times just because my girlfriends at that time wanted to experience AC which they heard of. It turned out to be fun but not for more than 3 days. They enjoyed the bar scene in the beginning but would not go later. They enjoyed dancing in Disco but did not like all the hookers there. If you have a bi girlfriend maybe it is good for three some. Otherwise take GF to vacation destinations which can be many places in Philippines.

Same here and she ended up dancing on a pole naked while my friends wife was eating her out. No one cared we all had fun and the pictures looked good as well LOL. Bring a bi there is great especially for moresomes. An old friend's wife took him there and on his birthday wen to a bar got 3 girls, told them it was a sex party for her husband and they all had fun. It is what AC is for nothing else IMHO as no soul to AC ever LOL.

Otherwise I take then everywhere else and not only in the Philippines.
