AirAsia currently flies directly to Malaysia Airport in the Philippines, and the densely distributed domestic destinations have become one of the options for those who like to travel on the islands. This time, I took a personal trip to the international airport and the domestic airport to switch, and Peripheral information such as customs entry, currency exchange, and phone card application is compiled in this article.
AirAsia direct flight from Taipei to Manila experience
AirAsia’s departure counter is located in the first terminal of Taoyuan Airport. The direct flight to Manila, Philippines is in the early hours of the morning. After arriving by airport pick-up, check in at the counter and check in. Checked baggage depends on the purchase of kilograms. Carry-on baggage You need to remind everyone that you can only board one piece of hand luggage (within 7 kg) + one bag/computer/camera bag, a total of two pieces, and the boarding box must also meet the on-site size regulations.
The flight time is more than 2 hours. When the airflow level is stable, the flight attendants start to sell the meals on the plane. As the departure time is late and the arrival time is also early in the morning, Anya recommends adding a meal box when buying the ticket, and don’t let yourself be on the way. Hungry, of course, if you want to order on-site, it’s okay.In addition, there are many duty-free items on board, whether it is fragrance, daily necessities, maintenance makeup, etc., but I bought a limited edition AirAsia uniform teddy bear set! (They were also given to several long-term support readers.)

Immigration, currency exchange and phone card application at Ninoy Ninoy Ninoy International Airport, Philippines
After getting off the plane, the signs and directions in the airport are mainly in English. According to the above instructions, the group is going to the customs to check the visa. As the proportion of Chinese-speaking tourists has increased in recent years, there are also cases of filling in the entry form marked in Chinese on the spot. Submit the form, visa receipts, and passport to the customs officer for verification, and you can leave the customs to collect your luggage after confirming that there is no problem.

Before the trip, I asked my friends about the Philippine currency exchange, and taught me that I don’t need to exchange in Taiwan, but I can bring US dollars to the airport for exchange. The exchange rate is good. Fortunately, my foreign currency account contains both US dollars and Euros. There are also deposits, so I took the opportunity to rush to the bank to withdraw. I took photos of the exchange rate, which can be used as a reference for readers in need.
In addition, there are two telecom operators on the left hand side of the airport to help tourists purchase internet cards. We all choose the most basic usage and number of days. Remember that a phone card is 500 batches. A small reminder is that the current Internet signal in the Philippines is not available. So ideally, and there are several places in Bohol that will be slower. Instead of complaining about the calling card or the quality of the network, you might as well put down your phone and enjoy the journey.
