If the child is less than 2 and a USC, she/he is exempt from travel tax. Php 750 is for ALL leaving NAIA.

So $750 for each passenger.. and 2yrs-younger are free if they are USC?

you may be confusing terminal fee and travel tax. the terminal fee is paid by everyone. travel tax the rates can vary.

:thumbs: Not $750.. 750 in pesos ha (terminal fee). Yes, your baby girl is tax exempted only from travel tax (PhP1620). In other words, prepare some moolah for the ff:

  1. Your airfare R/T (if you are going home)
  2. Your wife airfare (one-way or R/T) + 1620 Php travel tax
  3. Your daughter's airfare (one-way or R/T)
  4. 750PhP X 3 for the family of 3 for terminal fee at NAIA
:whistle: How much will that be all in all?

Oh.. My bad.. I thought my daughter will be exempt on the terminal fee.. But as you mentioned, the travel tax is taken off when you pay the air fare anyways right?

Yeah I'm prepared for my wife and daughter's air fare.. So as mine.. My airfare would be purchased here RT open.

My Estimate for my wife and daughter is atleast $1200 USD.. I hope..

Thanks Rina!!

If the ticket was isssued in the US you probably still have to pay the Philippine travel tax of P1620. Merly did and she just arrived on 11/17/2007. Her ticket was on NW and I paid for it here on there website.
