Hi guys! Finally the long wait is almost over! My flight is on Thursday. But, is there anything I should know or prepare before leaving? Like PH airport fee, I heard its 1,620php. Or other fees I need to be ready with. Because I'm not planning to bring a lot of peso since I can't use it once I left philippines.

My flight schedule is:

Manila to Tokyo, Japan

Tokyo, Japan to Denver, CO.

Denver,CO to Billings, MT

Anyone who had the same flight schedule? Or a bit the same maybe :)

Thank you!

It depends on the Airline your spouse bought your ticket from because some Airlines, they include the travel tax like PAL. Then all you need to pay is the terminal fee which is around 550 PHP.

My wife flew to usa in june she had same flight schedule Manila to Tokyo then to Denver. I bought her ticket online from United. The travel tax was already paid. She only had to pay the terminal fee

The POE was easy for her in Denver. It did take a little time for her to go thru immigration, but she was one of the last one off the plane and she did not have to catch a connecting flight

Terminal fee is 750 pesos.

Just bring with you about 3000 pesos. Just to be prepared, you might need to pay for the travel tax too.

it won't hurt, you can save the difference and use it when you go on vacation to the Philippines.

Thanks guys :) I'm not really sure if the travel tax here in phil is included in my ticket, I read the breakdown of payment and it only says US and Japan fees and taxes.

I also read that I can pay the travel tax in any tieza office. So, I'll try to check their office in SM Pampanga tomorrow :)

Bring your flight ticket with you to the Tieza Office so they can advise. Good luck

Terminal fee has been raised to P750 so I read recently.

And the travel tax is P1,620
