Would a Filipina or an American Citizen traveling with a Filipina on a K-1 Visa who has recently passed through Ninoy Aquino International Airport please add in the steps that are required when departing from Manila?


1. Drive through the security checkpoint when arriving at airport.

2. Tell driver which airline is you carrier, he drops you off near the correct entrance.

3. Show security your passport and ticket/e-ticket itinerary.

4. Pass through security and luggage X-ray.

5. Check-in at appropriate airline counter.

6. Check luggage and get boarding passes.

7. Queue up again to pay the departure tax (Php 750, was 550?) showing passport and ticket/boarding pass.

8. Go through Security again showing passport and ticket/boarding pass.

9. Find the correct gate then hang out in Sampaguita until near departure time.

10. Go to gate and wait for your passenger class to be called for boarding.

11. Show boarding pass and passport again and board plane.

In addition, was the procedure any different in your connecting flight to POE than for an US Citizen?

What to expect at POE, O’Hare if anyone has entered there?

Thanks in advance.
