Conveniently located just over 12 kilometres from central Manila, Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) offers easily accessible transport to and from the city. You’ll be able to make use of the UBE Express bus system, the Light Rail Transit System (LRT), as well as a range of taxi services. So whether your time in Manila is limited, or you’re taking a leisurely vacation in the city, you can rest assured that your first impression at this well-organised airport is a good one. And if you’re just stopping over for a few hours, you’re also in for a treat. The range of dining, beauty, and entertainment facilities available throughout the terminals will sure keep you busy during your layover.
Killing Time has Never Been Easier
Most major international airports share in common the abundance of retail space, and at NAIA, there’s no exception. Spread across four terminals, you’ll find several duty-free shops selling magazines, tobacco products, perfumes, and a range of imported confectionery. You’ll also be able to pick up a bottle of fine liquor, or a souvenir from one of the gift shops. And if you’re preparing for a long flight, why not grab a book from Christian Ventures, located in Terminal 1, 2, and 4. If on the other hand you’re drained from all the flying, SM Kenko Spa provides soothing lounge and shower facilities with packages including hand and foot care, as well as full-body massages. If you’re flying with the little ones, don’t stress. Kiddie Traveler’s Lounge, located in Terminal 1 and 4, provides a fun playroom with plenty of activities to keep the children entertained, and it’s all for free.
NAIA also provides its passengers with a Christian chapel in each terminal, as well as Muslim prayer rooms in both Terminal 1 and 3. You might also want to visit one of the exclusive lounges throughout the airport, which are reserved for passengers flying on Philippine Airlines. These lounges boast fresh buffet spreads, computer stations, and cable television. However, if you tend to head straight to your gate with five hours to spare, you’ll be pleased to know that NAIA offers free Wi-Fi throughout. However, if you have more than just a few hours in Manila to spare, Resorts World Manila is both close enough, and certainly worth the visit. This sprawling complex boasts a vast casino, cinema, several restaurants, bars, and a mall.
