| Boarding Pass: Seat 28F. Window seat pa rin :) |
After my first leisure travel experience in Cebu last March, I have grown the habit of visiting the local budget airline sites such as that of Airphil Express, Cebu Pacific and Zest Air. The story of how I got the trip to Bohol is here.
There was tropical depression somewhere around the western region of the country on August 20. I could not even see the sun when I punched OUT of the office to NAIA Terminal 3. It was a gloomy Saturday morning. I took the cab (Php 140) to T3 and it only took me about 20 minutes to reach the departure bay of the airport. It's no longer new to me because I used the facility back in March when I went to Cebu. More than being excited for this trip, I was early because of my desire to get a window seat. I was looking for the check-in counter for my flight bound for Tagbilaran but could not find it. Apparently, there were a couple more counters at the back that I missed. Hence, I got seat 28F which was almost at the tail end of the aircraft. As a consolation, 28F is a window seat with a clear view of the right wing. Based from my past experience with Airphil Express, boarding time is never on time. Surprisingly, the first boarding call for my flight was a minute ahead of schedule! A sign of a good start. We landed perfectly at Tagbilaran City Airport 17 minutes ahead of schedule. It was amazing! Manila's gloomy mood dramatically changed to a sunny Bohol!
I am a light traveler so I did not check-in my luggage. I only carried my Serge backpack and a camera bag for my Nikkie. I was surprised with the size of the airport. It barely resembles one except for the big sign and the control tower. Other than that, it looks like any other buildings.

| Boarding at NAIA T3 |
I met the driver from Taver's Pension House at the waiting area outside the airport. I've arranged an airport transfer when I called for reservation which, by the way is free as long as it's arranged early for them to fix their driver's schedule.
