Travelling to Coron and Around Philippines

98% of visitors come to Coron via Manila.

There are just two ways to get here: by ferry, or by aeroplane. The variations of both forms of travel are detailed in the links to your left.

Go take a look. They both have their advantages.

When travelling around the remainder of the Philippines there are a further two airlines to consider - Cebu Pacific and Philippine Airlines.

Having almost exclusively used Cebu Pacific for my personal use I can now say they are terrible when it comes to trying to book flights online from anywhere other than large cities as their web site continually times out before you can book! Also, their staff are disgraceful in their consideration of passengers. A small example follows.

Only yesterday I bought a return ticket for my wife from Manila to Tacloban to go and collect our two sons, who had been stranded in Eastern Samar for two weeks due to the terrible rains which had resulted in horrendous flooding and landslides blocking road access. She left our hotel at 7.30am to get to the airport in Manila for her 10.35 flight this morning. She then waited for our two small sons aged 5 and 2 years to arrive in Tacloban for the flight at 17.25 this evening. I bought and confirmed one-way tickets for the boys yesterday, when buying the tickets for their mother. After a tough journey across Samar they arrived in Tacloban for their flight to Manila only to be told their seats had been sold to other passengers. The Cebu staff member told them they were five minutes late for check-in. They had been standing at the check-in desk for twenty minutes so this kind person must have sold their tickets when she could see they were already present. Failing that someone had paid a bribe to obtain their tickets. Either way, it is a disgraceful way to treat passengers - especially those travelling with young children! This is amazing considering this airline has asperations of becoming an international operator. What a joke! They will have to learn how to treat passengers with the respect they deserve and not just allow children to board 30 seconds before the remaining passengers the way they do now!

Take my advice - use PHIILIPPINE AIRLINES!!!
