CFO sticker

[Robb&Ann 101]

She called them and they said no she couldn't do that. If you want to do it on a day other than your flight you have to go to the office.

But, she is going to get it just before her flight. The flight is at 7:40am, so it will be close.

cfo naia desk is at terminal one.. beside TIEZA travel tax desk.. between the entrance doors with the xray / conveyor machines..

if ur fiance arrives in manila early/before cfo manila close at 5pm,maybe she can just get the sticker at the main to be sure..

she can also get the sticker at naia.., but it's too risky..cfo naia desk opens at 5am and her flight is at 7:40am.. the officer there also advise to be there at the airport 3hrs before the flight..if Janen will register at NAIA, it is too risky but, possible if CFO naia desk cooperates too..

Yeah, she told the guy at CFO her flight was at 7am (I though it was going to be but after booking I saw it was 7:40) and he said no problem.

But I was also worried about this and I talked her into going the day before. I got her an early morning flight into Manila (8 am arrival), so she can drop her bags off and head over to CFO by 9 or 10 am I think. And just attempt the NAIA option as a backup. I was just remembering I felt rushed when I took ths flight and got to the airport at 5am. Although I was pretty early to the gate, but I know my way around Terminal 1. I don't think she has ever been to Terminal 1.

Now the travel tax counter is open 24 hours? I think she will get to the airport by 4am (5 at the latest but she is an early riser, so knowing her she will get there as earlier as possible).

Yes counter is open 24/7 for the travel tax... so its says anyway.

Yes. And I highly recommend completing CFO early, just to have it done with.

Okay. She went to Manila early to get the sticker the day before flight but CFO was closed due to flooding, so we had to go with the back-up plan. After she landed in Manila she called CFO NAIA and gave them the details of her flight and they said someone would be waiting for her at 5am. So she got the sticker at 5am with no problems.

The delay was with travel tax. The line was very long. It was already 20 minutes to six and she was still in line, so I was thinking she would miss her flight.

But she didn't. I heard from her at around 6:20 that she was at the gate eating a sandwich! She got through Delta checkin, immigration and security very fast. I don't know if it is possible but I think I've read it before, if you can pay travel tax first I would recommend that. That took her 30-40 mins to pay.

So I guess CFO at 5am for a 7:40am flight is okay, but I would recommend doing it in advance. I was a wreck today working about this stuff. Plus she got sick this morning. Always an adventure with this journey.

Great report. We might be doing the same thing with an 8:35am flight next week, though its looking less and less like that will happen, due to the floods and that our visa seems to have been assigned to Goober for processing.

Good luck. Yes it seems the floods are really messing up everyone plans.

She is still on run way. Delayed for over 1 hour now due to heavy rains there. Hoping it will take off soon so she doesn't miss her connection.
