Airasia to Manila
Was thinking of flying with Airasia from Kuala Lumpur to Manila and from
there on the same day fly to Japan. Flights would be: Air Asia: Kuala Lumpur LCCT(KUL) to Clark (Manila)(CRK) 28 Oct 2007 AK 32 Departs 0720 Arrives 1115 Philippines Airlines Sunday, October 28, 2007 Departu 14:50 Manila, Philippines - Ninoy Aquino International, terminal C2 Arrival: 20:10 Tokyo, Japan - Narita, terminal 2 which in theory leaves three hours and a half to get from Clark to Ninoy Aquino. Is this enough time? (I'm flying through Manila because on the way back I'll make a stop there). -- Alfred Molon http://www.molon.de - Photos of Asia, Africa and Europe |

Is this enough time? No. Clear customs and immigration at Clark: 30-60 minutes (add another 30-60 if you have checked baggage) Taxi Clark to Manila: 120-240 minutes Queue to get into the terminal: 0-90 minutes Checkin: 5-120 minutes |

Airasia to Manila
In article , plover says...
Clear customs and immigration at Clark: 30-60 minutes (add another 30-60 if you have checked baggage) Up to 2 hours for immigration and luggage retrieval? That is very, very inefficient. Taxi Clark to Manila: 120-240 minutes I thought the distance was only about 100km, isnt't it? Queue to get into the terminal: 0-90 minutes Checkin: 5-120 minutes That means in sum between 3 and 9 1/2 hours to change airports. Sounds really crazy. -- Alfred Molon http://www.molon.de - Photos of Asia, Africa and Europe |

Is this enough time? (I'm flying through Manila because on the way back I'll make a stop there). Fortunately, you will be doing this on a Sunday, so the traffic will not be as bad as on weekdays. Its very tight, but you could just make it. Try to get off the flight as soon as you can so as to be one of the first to get to immigration. You should be through customs in less than 30 minutes. There are usually drivers waiting in the arrivals area offering cars to Manila. You need to negotiate the price if you can, but it should cost around Php2,000 to Php2,500. The problem is that Clark is north of Manila, while NAIA is in the southern part of the city, so you have the unknown factor of how long it will take to get across Manila itself. Assuming there are no traffic jams on the way, the journey should take less than 2 hours on a Sunday. I've done it in as little as 1 hour 15 minutes in my own car, but if you hit traffic it can take a lot longer. If you want to avoid the nail-biting stress of trying to make that connection you would be better to stop over for one night. There are plenty of good hotels adjacent to Clark in the tourist/nightlife area of Angeles City. Chris |

If you get lucky at every point along the way, then three and a half hours is enough. Getting that lucky in The Philippines is highly unlikely, especially as there are several points where substantial delays are possible: the AirAsia flight, Customs, Immigration, baggage claim, taxi hire, traffic, terminal access, airline checkin, departure tax booth, Immigration again, security checks and the requirement to be at the gate 15 minutes before the flight is scheduled. For passenger comments on NAIA click http://www.airlinequality.com/Airpor..._forum/mnl.htm. The first two comments describe the queues. |

It will take about 1.30 hours from Kuala Lumpur to LCCT.. there are plenty of buses from the main terminal in Kuala Lumpur. This LCCT is about 70 kms from the town.. and it will cosy about 30 dollars by taxi If I well remember. about 4.50 dollars by bus ( there are two or three companies doing this ) do not forget Kuala lumpur is muslim.. so alcohol is hard to find or expensive. a Bier costed me about 4 to 5 dollars in the shops !!! and many restaurants did not let me drink it to avoid complaints from other customers. On the other hand. Air asia was almost perfect. I did Hanoi Kuala Lumpur and Kuala Lumpur bali ( as you suggested if I well remember ) |

As for the price of a beer its the same in all the world airports I must have been through KL airport more than a dozen times during transit and have always had a beer or glass of wine with a meal and even had a beer with a muslim who enjoyed a beer the same as me. |
