Clark International Airport (formerly Diosdado Macapagal International Airport) is relatively small and the nearest airport to Manila. But because of the airline traffic at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Manila, this is being groomed to be an alternate transport hub. Regardless of its name ("Macapagal" is after all a nemesis of this "vindictive" administration), I hope the government is sensible enough to develop this small town airport before it becomes another nightmare like NAIA. Passing through here recently, I saw the bad signs of congestion ... Continue Reading...
A nice flying experience with SEAIR
It was my first time to fly with SEAIR during my recent trip to Hong Kong. I haven't even flown domestic with them. The amiable PR, Jingjing Romero, assured me "no air pockets!" and true enough, the experience I had was smooth and pleasant. It helped that weather conditions were good too. SEAIR uses the Airbus A320 for its regional flights to Southeast Asia. It has the official tourism slogan More Fun in the Philippines proudly emblazoned in its body. SEAIR as a low cost carrier has a tie-up with Tiger Airways (in fact, I think Tiger owns the former ... Continue Reading...

Road to Angkor Wat
Happy to greet 2013 crossing one more thing off my bucket list and that is seeing the historic, majestic Angkor Wat.There are many ways to see this ancient site: if you've got the extra budget, ride a helicopter (about $95) or a balloon (see photo). You can also go around the Bayon temple astride an elephant. A first-timer like me was better off hiring a tuk-tuk for $15. This was better than joining a group or opting for a tourist bus, in my opinion. At least you can explore the temples at your own leisure without waiting for other people. You can also tell ...

Cebu Pacific Manila-Siem Reap (& vice versa)
It was my first time to try Cebu Pacific outside of their Hong Kong-Macau flights and had a good experience (disclaimer: this is NOT a sponsored post, LOL). I just had to be in this flight because am trying to make a list of all the exotic places I want to visit in Asia and Siem Reap (home of the Angkor Wat) is one of them. Cebu Pacific is the only local airline right now flying straight to Siem Reap and for the savvy traveler, this is definitely faster than taking the overland route from Bangkok or Ho Chi Minh City. Travel time is two hours 45 minutes. The flights ... Continue Reading...
