Before heading to the airport

A little preparation can help make your airport experience smoother, especially during peak travel days.

Here are the essentials to check before leaving home.

  • Arrive early. Be at the airport at least three hours before an international flight and two hours before a domestic flight.

  • Check in online. If your airline offers online check-in, complete the process ahead of time. Save or take a screenshot of your boarding pass so you can access it easily.

  • Verify your flight details. Confirm your flight schedule and assigned terminal before traveling to the airport.

  • Check travel requirements. Verify whether you need to pay travel tax and complete your e-Travel registration, as applicable.

Checking these details in advance can help prevent last-minute confusion, particularly if you are unfamiliar with your assigned terminal or travel requirements.

Make use of NAIA’s upgraded facilities

Passengers can also take advantage of airport facilities designed to make certain parts of the travel process more convenient.

NAIA recommends using self-service kiosks and immigration e-gates, where available, to help speed up processing.

Overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) may also access free amenities at the OFW lounges in Terminals 1 and 3.

For trips to and from the airport, passengers are advised to use accredited taxis, shuttles, or app-based ride services. Choosing authorized transportation can help travelers avoid unsafe or unauthorized vehicles.

Where to ask for assistance at NAIA

If you need help during your trip, public assistance desks are located in the arrival and departure areas across all terminals.

Passengers may also contact NAIA through the following hotlines:

  • 24/7 NAIA hotline: (02) 8877-1111

  • Customer Experience Office: (02) 8823-0669

  • NAIA mobile hotline: 0917 175 NAIA (6242)

Keep these contact details accessible in case you need assistance while at the airport.

Prepare ahead for your Undas trip

With passenger traffic expected to increase during the Undas travel period, arriving early and checking your flight requirements can help you avoid unnecessary stress.

Before leaving for the airport, make sure your boarding pass is accessible, your terminal is confirmed, and your transportation is arranged.
