Departing Alone at NAIA Terminal 1

[blahblahblahblah 0]

Hello, so my flight is on Monday morning and I'll be travelling alone (I'm a minor). I want to know if my father or family can go with me inside Naia Terminal 1 so they can accompany me and it's my first time to travel and i'm alone so i dont know what are the steps before departing :/

I don't know if they will allow them inside to assist you, but no harm in trying.

At NAIA. As you approach the entry door on the right there are usually many Overseas Workers gathered, you need to walk around or through them to get to the entry doors (they use a different door so don't worry about "cutting in line" ) for the terminal, once inside there is usually a line for scanning the luggage, after completing that process if your EXIT FEE was not included with your airfare (normally is not unless ticket was purchased within the Philippines or through PAL) you will need to go to the counter that is between the two luggage scanners and pay that P1620 (normally, not sure of your age). Once your EXIT FEE has been paid you will go to the counter for the airlines that you are flying to check-in, once that is completed you will move toward the GATES, you will have one more process where you will present your passport and pay a TERMINAL FEE of P550 before walking to the gate for your airplane.

Have a safe flight ~

Thank you for the information. And the flight my Mom bought me has two layovers and two change of planes. I'm worried because It's my first time to travel and i dont know what to do in layovers and change of planes too. it's much better if dire-diretso na lalo na wala akong experience internationally and im alone pa :/

Just always follow the direction..in every airport may makikita kang mga direction kung san ka papunta..pinaka maganda magtatanong ka sa secu kung san gate ka dapat pupunta..alerto ka..everything will be fine?

The first airport within the USA will be your POE (Port of entry) here you will need to get in the correct line for immigrant processing, don't worry there is usually an agent standing close to the entrance to guide you. Keep your DO NOT OPEN envelope in your carry-on bag as you will need that before retrieving your luggage. After clearing POE you will claim your luggage then clear customs, after that you will have to recheck your luggage back in for the airlines you are traveling.

For normal layovers you don't have to do anything with your luggage it will be transferred to the next flight, you just need to walk to the correct gate for that flight.

When in doubt ask a security officer for assistance.

Chicago will be your POE.

Even if I'll change plane, matratransfer pa rin agad? Di ko na talaga kukunin? Kase hassle pa saken pag ganun diba

The baggage will be transferred to the next aircraft. You just need to walk to the next gate

What airline are you flying? Virtually all airlines have standard policies regarding "unaccompanied minors". When my daughter flew as a child alone with either United or Delta, both airlines allowed parents to proceed through security to the boarding gate. There the minor was met by a flight attendant and escorted on board the aircraft. During the flight, attendants check with the child. And same upon landing. Child is escorted by flight attendant off the plane and handed off to an airline employee assigned to them.

Japan Airline and American Airline.

I'm 15 but my mom didn't pay for an escort so i'm a bit worried.

So my dad can go with me all the way to the boarding gate?
