Manila

Does any one know how long it takes to get from Terminal 2 to Terminal 1 at Manila Airport? There seems to be a shuttle.

[QUOTE=JohnnyO52; 1278630]Hey Guys,

Thanks for all the great info you lay upon us want to beez. LOL. I have a question I hope someone might know. When I get there I would like to travel a bit and have been thinking about renting a motor bike. I'm not going all over Luzon but I'm planing on being there a couple weeks for sure. I have some female contacts to visit and a few old friends who've been after me for years to visit Land of Beauty and Smiles. Plus there are some cities I want to visit also. I'm not far from re-tiring one way or another. I was thing a motor scooter would be a nice way to get around.

Any Ideas on the subject, where could I rent on, cost, dangers and any other info would be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance, and Happy Mongering.

PS, I plan to visit, Oolongapo, Angeles, Manila, Subic, and Cebu. I know I won't be taking the bike across water to Cebu.

Google the name of such forums and you can contact members there who can give you more info.

It would take you 3mins to walk from terminal 1 to terminal 2 and that includes a ride in the elevator. Terminal 3 is located on the other side of the NAIA property and is used by all other carriers including Cebu Pacific. Check your flight info to determine what terminal your flight will arrive at.

Not sure that it really makes a difference referencing the original question, but Terminal 1 is used by every airline NOT named Philippine Airlines or Cebu. Cathay, Delta, Qatar, et al. I think that Philippine Airlines is solely in Term. 2 and Cebu is in 3 (it is the new terminal).

You are correct, going from / to Term 3 from either 1 or 2 will take a while as the traffic is very bad almost all the time.

I also ride a touch when in Thailand, but prefer walking when in Pattaya which is advantageous for obvious reasons. Being somewhat a risk taker my nature, I'm not into advising others what they should do with their lives. However, I would leave the bike riding to the locals as far as I'm concerned.

If I were to live in the Philippines then certainly I would opt for biking only after taking in the understanding and nature entailed in the art of getting around on two wheels with confidence. If this is your 1st trip to Philippines; I assume this is, I would certainly in your case opt for Bus services. Slow, but stress free and sensible. As you plan on travelling high millage this is surely your relaxed option.

Thanks again, Noddy. Busses it will be at first then after a bit there I might change up for some shot trips if there traffic isn't too bad. But busses it will be at first and thn who knows. Thanks Again.

Travelling distances across Manila are generally long and the roads are very poorly maintained. A large portion of the driving population (including my good self) has no driver's license and even those who do have one don't display the driving skills to merit a license. If you stop at traffic lights, the beggars and roadside merchants will accost you. During typhoon season the roads become rivers. And a close-to-retirement kano riding a scooter will make a ripe target for crime. The whole concept is risky to say the least. Enjoy, AsianRain

I reckon its not so good an idea. Thought it'd be fun and convenient but never took for that much resistance. You Guys are right though, its not a place for a rookie to be taken chances without knowing or experience to just go crazy and ride. Maybe after a few visits I might try but for now I'll just sit back and leave the driving to them.

Thanks Again Asian Rain.

Happy Mongering

Always stay in Cavite DASMA. I book an avis car before arrival and pickup at airport. A bit expensive but saves me tons of time traveling. What could take over 2 hrs for me to get to Cavite from airport is just an hr driving myself. Visiting mallof Asia or driving to batangas etc saves so much time driving a car. As for a bike I would not risk that on Manila roads specially SLEX or star toll way.

The other two haven't changed at all, at least in the last 5 years. Neither is a good place to spend a long wait, which is probably why NAIA is consistently rated one of the worst international airports. Having said that, it is the gateway to a number of memorable good times!

First, the gates are endlessly changed and of course " we apologise etc etc blah blah are also endlessly announced.

Second, the announcement are "boomed out" at full volume so god help you if you are trying to rest (frm sexual exertions?). Because as sure as eggs are eggs, you will learn that " due to airport authorities decision, flight to Bangkok, Kl, taipei, Singapore etcetc gate has now been changed.

Third, there are no bathrooms anywhere near the gates.

And fourth, its so nice to know that on cebu pacific, we are "guests". Were not passengers as we are on every other airline worldwide, here we are "guests".

If only we were treated as such. Guess the airline run by children wants to be different, so yes, in cebupacificworld we are guests.
