Having just got back. Travelling to Manila during Christmas will always be chaotic. Number of people going to Phillipines will be greater than the capacity of the airport. Plus the tendency of Filipinos to bring home pasalubongs makes picking up your luggage a time consuming affair. Add to that , since there is no train from airport to city center, taxis and GRAB are in short supply. If the prospect of spending christmas alone and cold wasnt worse than spending it in hectic and traffic filled Manila , I’d aviod travelling to Phillippines before Christmas. It gets better after Dec 25
This is my eight trip to Philippine's in 5 years, i must say this was the smoothest arrival since dropping OHP, E travel was great, quick scan and i was on my way, also fast at immigration, i was waiting for my baggage for the first time, usually it has gone around on the conveyer a few dozen times before i get there, been here for 2 weeks now and enjoying as usual, happy new year.
Happy New Year, friends! Wishing you all the best year ahead! 🫶
Terminal 1 & 2 Arrivals, please care to share your arrival experience in the comments section 🙂
Taxi Drivers in Naia: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LfiuKKSEemGlJAOFvmD3j3uiLNGpG2uWpUHNpOC_Yoc/edit?usp=sharing
How about booking the grab in the airport?
@bearable2956 Leave Bay 4, line up, then tell the person where you going. Once you got a driver you will get message where you can track your car. It's that simple. Grab line is the busiest. Expect to wait some time. Allow 30 mins. Talking from experience.
Hopefully by the time of my next trip arriving into NAIA Term 3 on February 17, all of this will be resolved for a smoother operation. Dear Jennifer, I wish you and your pamilya a Healthy and Blessed New Year. You truly are and angel for helping all of us that love the Philippines, Please stay strong and stay well!!! Love all the information you provide to all of us!!! Daghang Salamat!
If you flew into the Philippines from Jan 7 onward and unvaccinated, reply here if you were asked for an Antigen test. I'm not vaccinated and when I arrived in Manila this past Saturday, no one asked me for the results of my Antigen test. All I showed was a picture of the Etravel barcode on my phone and they waved me through. These kind of datapoints can be helpful to future travelers
Fellow pureblood here, flying there Monday that's good to know.
@@kyleblankiv7589 Thank you. I was searching for this info a lot.
Aren't you lucky?
Just arrived internationally at terminal 1 October 2023. No one asked for anything besides eTravel QR code and passport, answered a few questions related to length of trip and reason for visiting (normal immigration questions). There was a lot of conflicting information out there, however I am happy that the whole process turned out to be normal.
Hi Jennifer.
Finally getting back to the Philippines in May.
Hoping it all runs smoothly.
Got a hell of a long journey from UK.
Looking forward to being back.❤️
Hi Jennifer, I have been following your blog for months. I am unvaccinated so it has been stressful traveling. In the beginning of June, Hawaii dropped their restrictions so I flew to Honolulu from Manila with no problem. July 1 Thailand lifted their restriction so I flew to Bangkok. I was in Phuket for 5 months but I had to fly to Penang, Malaysia a couple times to do a visa run. It was no problem going into Penang because they lifted their restrictions. So it was no problem entering there. So when the Philippines FINALLY lifted their restrictions for the unvaccinated I returned to Manila on December 20. I had my Red QR code. When I landed I showed the girl my QR code and she took me to a room where I got my antigen test for 600p. No problem. So I am now in Pampanga finally. But all the airports I entered those months I never knew what was going to happen. So stressful 😁 but I am happy I made it. Thanks for all of your info and advice during those months. Keep up the good work. You are appreciated. Salamat po.
@gregjewel, so Thailand is open now sa unvaccinated without showing proof of vaccine card ? Nice 👍.
It is still medical tyranny and a scam New form of taxation.
Really thankful for ur blog Jennifer as u provide the most updated info for travelling to the Philippines
update from most recent experience (like within this week): really impressed with the changes at NAIA... was able to connect to the wifi without a local # & was able to use the wifi seamlessly... good job NAIA for fixing this issue👏🏻
I too had the worst experience in Terminal 3 departure. There was no Express lane for OFWs and many of us had problems with oec or what not. Other than that, Staffs weren’t even helpful at all. Kung mahuli ka sa flight bahala ka sa buhay mo.
Bukod dun nag online check in ako sa Emirates and ang haba pa din ng pila kaya ang pila sa Immigration sobrang haba din, I think sobrang waste ng time kung bakit we need 5-6hrs before flight check in. Para sa mga ganitong service. Yun lang. Sana may improvement sa mga Terminal natin sa susunod.
Earlier this month, I came into Manila on Terminal 1. I flew in on Korean Air and had to mask up.We were still given paper declaration and health forms, but my QR code put me in the fast lane. Immigration asked me to take off Mt mask and glasses. Got waved right through customs after getting my bags, no questions. My fiancée and family was waiting for me right outside.
Jennifer thank you for helping us travelers make our journey safe and easy.. please continue to guide filipino travelers as well as foreign nationals on their visit to the philippines. Merry christmas and happy new year to you and to your family as well.
Traveling to the Philippines in 6 days from the uk and starting to get nervous now but thanks to these videos it’s keeping me informed, printed my NHS covid pass records, my flight itinerary and literally anything I can have a paper copy of 😂…looking forward to the experience, and adventures of my very first holiday abroad and to finally meet my Filipina.
Happy New Year Jennifer and thanks again for all the videos
All the best on visit to our home land where you about in UK?
I married to a British man too 17 yrs.ago we live here @ Robin Hood place @ Sherwood forest Nottinghamshire
I leave for the Philippines 🇵🇭 in 40 days
Just arrived in Manila last Dec 31st from UK in Terminal 3, didn’t experience any problem, was very quick & smooth. Twas my luggage who took longer to come out on the conveyor.
My advice, save a copy of your eTravel in your photo album, show it (no stopping)& go straight to immigration.
@@sisbelenshortinspiringchan7159 oh I live not far away in Ripley In Derbyshire…can’t wait to spend 3 weeks away in the Philippines really looking forward to it as well as being very nervous too 😅
@@blakeshoemaker1964 good luck on your travels
Welcome back. We arrived on Dec 21, fully prepared following your videos. Done e-travel 2 days before trip along with the custom declaration. We flew PAL (first time). Had our shot records on phones and hard copies. Great flight arrived terminal 1. Only thing is flight attendants gave out cards on plane to fill out. We filled out forms anyway. Other oops was Filipina Asawa went one line me in other foreign line. She should have been with me. Other than that, no problem at all. Great experience coming in.
We had a smooth arrival at terminal 3 last Dec 27 the staffs are so nice that they consider us tofollow the Philippines passport que even we're a foreigner passport holder. The immigration are so friendly. I dont need to show any bc,mc or my old PH passport. I even volunteer to show the consent letter for mykids because my husband is nottravelling with us ( but i bringall those document to avoid stress) i'm really hoping to have a smooth departure .
Additional info if you're flying with KLM airline please ready your etravel qr to avoid delayed of flights. Inoticed alotof Filipino didn't have it yet. I have ours in mymobile en print out to avoid hassle not only for me but for other passengers
Please let your viewers know that if they have a connecting flight from Manila to another airport (such as Dumaguete) in the Philippines, when traveling to the Philippines from an outside country, they have to pick up their luggage at that terminal and RE-check the bag at the different terminal for domestic flights. You can take a taxi for a fee or ride a bus that's cramped with people for free to get to the other terminal. Once there, you have to re check your luggage bags again.
Even if its PAL? Example, LAX to Mla via PAL, then connecting flight PAL pa din going to Cebu???? Thank u for the info po.
Thankyou for that advice probably same at cebu
@@dominicn5240 PAl to Pal connecting flight just get your baggage from conveyor belt and then same area for transit baggage . may nag assits po ..
If you stay at a hotel in-between your flight depending on how long your layover in Manila is some of them have free rides from and to the airport terminals. Also if you stay at Saiyan travelers inn you can walk to terminal 4 it's only 1 block.
Was it always like this? I don't ever remember re-checking my luggages.
We went to the Philippines the middle of November with Korean Air and at ck in were asked for e arrival and covid vaccination cards. Mask was required, no mask no flight. Japan Airlines was the same coming home the 2nd week of December.
Damn they still live like 2020 again
We recently flew to the Philippines on Korean air and while they required a mask on the flights I had mine down the whole time and no one said a word to me.
@@jasongrose934 I think Korea and Japan mask is just optional.
The locals are afraid of germs lol.
Japan never had a mandate but people wore like sheep.
There are few to no countries that say breathing is illegal in constitution.
happy new year Jennifer all the best for 2023 from scotland uk
Just want to share our experience. We arrived at naia 3 last november 14 and the process was very smooth and fast. They just checked our e-arrival card and the immigration form that we filled up on the airport.
Encouraging to hear. First timer here flying shortly to Manila and I'm very nervous but your comment has helped calm me.
Thank you Jennifer for all your help over the last year keeping me informed, I will be move in to the Philippines in 10 days.🥳
Thank you Jen for continuing the updated information travel from all over the world You're doing an awesome job!
Thanks Jenn, I'll have to take a look at your taxi list. I always get ripped off when exiting terminal 2. Last time I was there, a guard wouldn't even let us walk down to the taxis. We had to catch one of those expensive vans....
Oh no, the same thing happened to me. It was an expensive mistake.
I put it down to experience and didn't let it happen again.
I found getting the grab app and booking taxis with them the cheapest and most convenient way of getting a cab
i already applied on E-travel, so I am happy I do not have to wait in that long line, I am arriving to the Philippines on the 11th, a couple of days from America.
I arrived on Dec. 21 with Etravel only.
I departed Philippines on Dec 28... as Permanent Residence (13G). I only have to pay my Exit Visa of 1670 pesos. I
Thanks Jen for your time and effort for the last 2 years your updates helped me alot on my travels to Phillipines wish you a fantastic new year
❤️❤️❤️ welcome back home to the Philippines. sana kita Maligayang Bagong Taon ❤️❤️❤️
thank you Jennifer! your updates always helpful.i appreciate you! keep up the good work..hope you had a wonderful christmas and a blessed new year🙂
Concerning the taxi chaos at Naia T3 I booked this time a room at the Belmont Hotel for 2 nights on arrival. You can reach the Belmont Hotel via footwalk lane at T3. I arrived late at 10pm so this was really relaxing for me and my gf.
Hi did you have to make reservations at Belmont Hotel upon arrival or did you do a walk in? Do you have the contact info? Planning to be in Philippines mid February. Thank you.
@@tokneneng9984 Hi, I booked the hotel in advance @Agoda.
Hi Jennifer: Thanks. Your valuable time and efforts making traveling easier to comeback or visitors to PH. Well appreciated.
Welcome back Jennifer! My observation in the Philippines about signage: under valued and utilized.
Hi Jen, my Flight is UK to Singapore and will stay to Singapore for 2 to 3 days then fly to Manila, this E travel thing can be done while im in singapore before flying to Manila?
Yes. Do the e-travel registration in SG. Your port of exit is SG. (SG has their own online registration system.)
Love how you do your vlogs! You are spontaneous and very pretty! Happy New Year too!
Happy New Year Jennifer 😊 Thank you so much for all your updates.. it helped a lot! We're following all your blogs and we got here in cebu last Dec.. we're all unvaccinated and everything went well..!
Blessings to you 🙏 ✨️
Were you able to travel to other islands while being unvaccinated? If you did, did you have to do more testing?
Hi. I just recently came back here in the USA 🇺🇸 from Philippines. So my experience going back was very smooth. My flight was November from Las Vegas to Cebu with eva airlines. When I checked in here las vegas they don't ask for my vaccination card. (BTW I'm not vaccinated) .When I arrived in cebu they just ask for my arrival card. Maybe I'm just lucky that day not sooooo many passengers who arrived in cebu mactan Airport. Everything went well. They don't even ask for my negative results. I have to ask the people in there if they need my negative ptr test and they said "no need". Coming back in the USA all went well too.
Did you get a straight flight from Las Vegas to Cebu?
@Mercenary Mike las vegas to LAX airport. LAX to Taiwan and Taiwan to cebu. But you just have to go straight to your boarding gate in LAX.
im from vegas too. 1. how much was your RT Ticket?
2.since you had your negative results on hand just in case..what was that test worth? and how many hours ago before you took it to be prepared to show it at lax departure?
3.did eva at anytime enforce face mask upon you?
in ph
how long? what was the vibe there? did places over there ask you to mask up? anything else you wanna add of your exp there?
Hi Rona, I'm glad it went well for you. Did you travel to other places during your stay? If so, did you have to retest?
I’m flying next week via Eva airline & also I’m not vaccinated! I’m glad to hear your flight was smooth.
Thanks .. your vlog was very informative & helpful .. as I’ve been watching a few of your different CZcams vlogs over the last week
Glad to see you back home safe Jen 🥰🥰
I am retiring in the Philippines and I want to bring my Pomerinian dog with me I do not understand what the Phil embassy tequirements are Can u help me pls
Your dog must have the necessary shots & a pet passport. Contact your airline for their rules on bringing pets.
Let me know if you need help. The steps are very confusing but I made it thru finally, thank God 😥
Thank you Jennifer for another great video
Have a Blessed days always for your Great job to help all passenger.hope and Pray na matuloy ako ng vacation sa ating Home land Phil. At makita ka namin.🙏
Appreciate you. Thank You. God bless.
Hi ma'am Jennifer good day po tnx for your travel update pa balik labas ng bansa
Thank you for the update Jennifer. take care.
Thank you Jennifer. Good to see you. Happy New Year
May you do a video of the requirements to travel to the Philippines from the USA for 2023?
A Prosperous New Year, stay safe and healthy, God Bless us all.
Thanks for sharing good info Jenn 😘 .Going back home in Philippines in few weeks left with my fam.
Happy new year and God bless you and your family and be safe and thank you for all the hard work you doing and I hope 2022 will bring more blessings to you your family
Hello maam. Required pa po ba ng travel insurance with covid 19 coverage pabalik pinas?
Travel insurance is not required but recommended.
Can you tell me what is the rule for us citizen traveling to PI with less than 6 months passport expiration? Thank you.
For foreign passport holder, the passport must have more than 6 months validity from the date of travel. If not, the airline may refuse the passenger.
Passengers going for cheaper and comfortable transportation, the P2P bus transporation. All of them can be found in terminal 3. Plus , it helps to prevent people from picking you up, avoid tolls and rental of a car or van to pick you up. Check on line all the P2P services for cities. Some goes to provinces and it is an express transportation. For example you live in Laguna, they have tagapo and Nuvali direct without stops, meaning it goes from terminal 3 to nuvali or tagapo and then just have someone pick you up from there or rent a jeepney. At least, cheaper and comfy. Now, if you arrive at Terminal 2, then there is a complimentary bus (free) I think it is white in color and it will bring passengers from any terminal but make sure you want terminal 3 coz that is the only terminal where passengers are served by P2P. They also serve SM clark or Clark International airport. Try it
Thank you, Jenn for that information. My wife and myself really do like to watch all the information that you give us. Very helpful about e-travel, ect. We have a few more months before we leave for the Philippines, from L.A.X., and I ask her "has she heard the latest from Jennifer."
Thank again.
"Happy Holidays."
Ma'am Jennifer ask ko lang Po kng may problema Po ba kng one letter Ang Mali sa spelling Ng ticket mo? instead double N nailagay Po ay double L
Yes, may problema. The name on your ticket should match the name on your passport. Call your airline to correct the mistake.
👍👍 Again, another helpful update. Thank you.
nice to see you back Jennifer and happy new year
Do we need to have a booster shot to go to Phillipines? Just so you won't have to go through the "atleast 48hrs" RT-PCR test? anybody can answer pls.
If you've had 2 shots (or 1 shot for J&J) then a booster shot isn't required. You also won't need a pre flight test.
Thank you Jennifer for the info... Happy New Year! God bless!
Has HM Transport resumed bus service from Terminal 3 to Taft MRT/LRT? Also, is there NAIA shuttle service once again between the 4 terminals? Both HM and the NAIA shuttle were operating before the Pandemic.
Hey Jennifer.
Arriving AirAsia from Malaysia.
It looks like we will have two problems.
First being Foreign Passport holders (so maybe best to go to the toilet in the plane and walk quickly to the immigration hall!)
Secondly we have a transfer to the Old Domestic terminal with one case. (We have 3.5 hours so hopefully long enough). Using Grab seems logical but finding the car not easy. The transfer bus looks horrible and crowded. Any suggestions please?
Happy New Year Jennifer. Thank you for all the info you share. Now im ready to go to the Phils on jan 3rd. Got all the impt documents.. Take care.
Thanks so much! Happy New Year Jennifer!

Jenny, can you help me. I got my etravel QR code with I arrived here in the philippines from UK dated 29 of December. Now I went for ( January 3 to 7, 2023) Saigon Vietnam for holiday 5 days can still use that one or I apply again a new one.
You have to register again & get a new QR code. Your flight details will be different.
Thank you very much for your help.
Thank you God bless !
Happy new year Jennifer🎉💕💐have a good vacation💕💕💕thanks for always sharing ..
My Asawa used to get sick going to the Philippines and coming back to the USA. For years this would happen so even before COVID she would wear a mask and take Airborne. When she started that she never got sick again .
Thank you!! Just registered for E travel 😀
Thank you so much for your Experiences and for the video Jennifer happy new year to you God-Bless 😊
Happy Blessed New Year to you and your family 👪.
Thank you for sharing 🙏
Thank you for the update and God bless .
Thanks for the information and Happy New year 🎉
Hello Jennifer 👋 can you possibly do a vlog about how to go through the immigration E-GATES? I observed na mahaba and matagal sa pila kasi hindi alam ng mga nakapila na they need to watch the video played above before you approach the counter for instructions on how to go through sa E-GATES (only for Philippine Passport holders). Thank you for your very informative CZcams channel. Happy New Year!!! ---May Cruz of Empire Travel California, USA.
The best vedio, super galing mo sissy, keep on sharing
Most helpful as usual….thank you 👍
Leif Irish Mercado was recommended on your channel and he was awesome and I HIGHLY-HIGHLY recommend him. I am glad you made it back safely from the USA and I hope you had a great time. Happy New Year, stay strong and keep smiling every day. Happy Vlogging!!!!!
I arrived at NAIA Terminal 1 last night and there was nobody at the customs stations?!? Everyone just left after getting their bags. Never experienced that before when arriving from abroad. 🎉
I arrived on 24th in Vietnam, traveling with PAL. Make sure the time of your negative test is appearing.
Besides having all the required documents ready, what helped us get through the process without any issues was getting a porter. He told us where to go, picked up our luggage, loaded them on the car, etc. We gave him $10, which was so worth it.
How do you get a porter there?
@@sdetautomation7618 they’re waiting at the gate. They usually come to you and wear a uniform.
Came through terminal 1 on dec 14. Very smooth and easy!
Happy New Year.. thanks for the information.. God bless
Very helpful and informative….maraming salamat po.
I rarely use NAIA as it was usually chaotic. It is good to know that the Philippines is now embracing modern technology. I just hope that the Government is very careful regarding arrivals from China. The thought of lining up with Chinese nationals coming from mainline Chine where the virus is still a big problem is rather worrying.
@pomrobpomrob3938 looks like the boosters have hit your brain big time you better take another booster in every arm for this chinese variant and please take 1 straight into your heart
Happy new year ms Jennifer Welcome home to the Philippines..watching from Davao city..
Happy New Year Jennifer Hope your Year will go well. Looking forward to seeing the vlogs. Stay safe. Thanks for all the information Best wishes
Many thanks for the advice,,,happy new year♡♡♡
Pre-pandemic it was long lines, and now I think the epass made it much more complicated. Immigration should consider kiosks for those who did not register before touchdown.
Hi Jennifer thanks for ur help
Thanks Jen for the update I'm traveling January 11,I have 4hours before my Cebu Pacific flight to Iloilo hope it's enough time.god bless
Hope you have a good Christmas and have a wonderful New Year 💗

I have an awesome visit in the Philippines. The best year to travel is end of Nov. and mid of de.. Not chaotic at all.
Thanks ma'am jennifer Happy new year 🎉 ✨️ 💛
Happy New year Ms Jen.....more Power to you....God bless you always...
Traveling to the Philippines is very easy now in comparison to back in April 2022. I have been there in April, July and November. The only problem I faced was on my last trip at the end of November. On my flight back home (Hawaii), NAIA changed departure and arrival terminals to terminal 1 starting on December 1st. I was unaware of this change and was dropped off at terminal 2 like usual and had to find another taxi to take me to terminal 1 instead.
Happy new year 🎆🎊🎈, blessed and healthy throughout the year.
Happy New year 2023
Thats interesting love it
Hi Terry im traveling from Chicago to manila I just wanna ask is the travel pass free or need to pay?
E-travel registration is free. If you're asked to pay, it's a scam site. Jennifer has a link in the description area for e-travel.
I am surprised that you have not post au updates about the etravel registration which was charged since January 2023. I watched a few bloggers who posted about it. unfortunately, they were as clear as you are. I am flying to the Philippines January 15th and I have been hoping for your video about the etravel. thank you
Happy New Year Lang!
