Manila Airport (MNL), officially Ninoy Aquino International Airport and commonly called NAIA, serves Metro Manila in the Philippines. Passenger flights use Terminals 1, 2 and 3. Choose your terminal from the operating airline and the details on your e-ticket, especially when your journey includes a connection.

Terminals and airlines at Manila Airport

Terminal 1

Airlines using Terminal 1 include Malaysia Airlines, AirAsia Berhad and Air India. AirAsia Philippines also uses this terminal for international flights. Check the airline name on your booking carefully, since airlines within the same group can have different operating arrangements.

Terminal 2

Philippine Airlines, PAL Express and AirAsia Philippines are among the airlines listed at Terminal 2. AirAsia Philippines uses it for domestic flights. Philippine Airlines also appears at Terminal 1, so confirm the correct building for each part of your itinerary.

Terminal 3

Cebu Pacific, Singapore Airlines and Cathay Pacific are examples of airlines at Terminal 3. Cebu Pacific passengers should check the flight code and terminal on their itinerary before travelling. For a journey involving different airlines, review the terminal for the next flight separately.

Terminal transfers at Manila Airport

A free NNIC shuttle connects Terminals 1, 2 and 3 for passengers with connecting flights. Keep your boarding pass or confirmed booking available and ask staff for the current boarding point. Before using the shuttle, confirm your onward terminal, baggage collection and check-in arrangements with your airline.

Leave time for the journey between buildings as well as any check-in, security or immigration steps your itinerary requires. Follow the connection advice in your booking rather than treating a terminal transfer as simply a change of boarding gate.

Getting to and from Manila Airport

Taxis

Coupon taxis, yellow metered taxis and regular metered taxis serve NAIA. Use the taxi arrangements for your terminal and keep the dispatch slip given to you by airport personnel. Confirm the destination before leaving the airport and retain the slip for reference during the trip.

Point-to-point buses

UBE Express point-to-point buses provide another airport transport option. Check the current destination and boarding point before choosing a service, including how you will continue from the bus stop. Match the route to your final destination rather than assuming every bus travels to the same part of Metro Manila.

Car hire

Car-rental services are available at Manila Airport. Review your reservation for the collection arrangements and documents you need, then confirm the return location with the provider. Leave time to get from the vehicle return point to the terminal for your departing flight.

Parking at Manila Airport

Parking is available for Terminals 1, 2 and 3. Check the parking information for the terminal you need before driving, including the conditions for leaving a vehicle during your trip. Keep your parking ticket and note the car's location so you can find it after returning. Availability can change, so include time to find a space.

Shopping and food at Manila Airport

Retail shops

Retail shops are available at NAIA. Browse the outlets in the passenger area you can access for your journey, keeping enough time for the departure process. If you buy items before an onward connection, check how they fit the baggage conditions and security requirements for the rest of your itinerary.

Restaurants and cafés

The airport has restaurants and cafés for a meal or refreshments. Decide where to eat after checking your terminal and departure arrangements. Keep your documents and hand luggage with you, and allow time to reach boarding after finishing.

Baggage help at Manila Airport

If your checked bag has not arrived as expected, ask for baggage assistance in the arrivals baggage area. Keep your baggage tag and booking details ready so staff can trace the bag against your flight. Report the problem to your operating airline and retain any reference number or instructions you receive.

Departure planning at Manila Airport

Review the terminal and arrival advice in your airline booking before leaving for NAIA. Check the flight-status page and confirm changes with your airline. For an international journey, review the current official entry and departure requirements that apply to you before travelling.
