How to go to Boracay Island tru Air Travel

If you are a foreigner, the very first thing you have to do is to either book a flight going to Cebu or Manila, wherein the only part of the Philippines wherein majority of the International Flights could be made.

However there are also some flights going to Boracay coming from different provinces.

Here are some useful websites that you can check for current real time rates from different airlines that have flights going to Boracay:

Zest Air

Sea Air

Philippine Airline

Most of the Boracay flight destination is directly to the newest airport in Caticlan, which is just a few 10 meters away from the Caticlan port that you need to take around 5 minutes 'Banca' boat ride going to Boracay port.

But please do take note that when their is some disturbing bad weather condition, they usually divert the flight destination to Kalibo which is about 2 to 3 hours bus travel before you can reach Caticlan port.

Well base on experience I do suggest that you make your plan and schedules flexible for such delays and divert flights which is majority chance that will happen and looks like a normal thing already for people going to Boracay.

For package travel, usually the port terminal fee is already paid by the travel agency as well as the fee for the 'Banca' boat ride and lastly the tricyle fee that cost and that they charge around P100 (pesos) from Boracay port going to the famous beach resorts.

Please do remember that starting the month of March until June of every year is is the peak bookings of all flights and accommodations in Boracay and as I walked through and inquired with some hotels,lodges,inns and resorts particularly those at the beachsides said that the cost would go as high as 3x the normal rates. So it would be better to book earlier and plan your vacation ahead of time so that you can make that right budget.
