International flights from Manila

[Don0 73]

Anyone know if Manila in MECQ cares about people leaving the country? 

 

I'll be flying out from Cebu to Manila then SFO. I've read the recent topics here and I guess, most are as clueless as I am right now. 

 

But maybe someone knows. Do these restrictions on domestic flights affect those that are just for transfer or like a connecting flight? Like my case?

 

Thanks

My wife flew from Cebu to Manila to Korea to Seattle about 6 weeks ago.  Her connection in Manila was a relatively easy part.  Once she was through the Cebu entrance challenge (documents, medical and travel clearance, etc) the Manila transfer was pretty painless, other than the wait to get back into the international terminal (long wait and only allowed entry to the terminal 2-3 hours prior to the flight).  Once you're in the airport, the MECQ shouldn't impact you in Manila.

Thank you so much! This is a very helpful input. I will also be calling our local airline office if there are any changes with the current announcement. Thanks again!

Was there no flight from Cebu to another country she could of used instead of going to Manila?  Or they making everyone depart from Manila if going abroad?

At the time there were few international flights from Cebu and most of what I could see, if not all, were cargo flights.  It doesn't mean there weren't any, I just couldn't find any.  We'd booked Delta/Korean Air so we were limited to them, so I may not have seen everything possible, but I looking for anything I could find.  She's been stuck there for 3 months on what was supposed to be a much shorter trip.
