Manila to Boracay Flights

If you're here in Manila already, there are several ways to get to Boracay by air. But before we proceed further, let me correct the term "Manila to Boracay", there are really no direct flights that land right on the island of Boracay. You may either get a flight to the airports nearest to island; the Caticlan Airport or the Kalibo International Airport.

By so far, I've seen domestic flights available for booking online, from CebuPacificAir, ZestAir, AirPhilExpress, Philippine Airlines, Seair, AirAsia(from Clark);

1. Manila to Boracay Kalibo Airport
2. Manila to Boracay Caticlan Airport
3. Clark to Boracay Kalibo Airport
4. Clark to Boracay Caticlan Airport
5. Cebu to Kalibo Airport
6. Cebu to Caticlan Airport

Direct and connect flights coming from outside the Philippines are also available;

1. Taipei to Kalibo Airport
2. Seoul to Kalibo Airport
3. Busan to Kalibo Airport
4. Beijing to Kalibo Airport

You can search about "Kalibo airport arrivals" to get an overview of the airlines landing at the Kalibo International Airport. 

With our goal getting to Boracay, what's the difference between the Caticlan and Kalibo Airport?

The most popular terminal to get to Boracay is the Caticlan Jetty, where small boats or 'bancas' can take you to Boracay Island ports.

• If you arrive in Caticlan Airport, the Catticlan jetty is just about 10-min walk.
• If you arrive at the Kalibo Internation Airport, it takes about an hour and a half to get to the Caticlan Jetty.

Clark flights are generally cheaper, but if you're coming from Manila, you have to spend about Php200(about $4-5, price depends on the type of bus) for a one way bus trip from Cubao to Clark(Dau Bus Terminal). From my recent trip to Clark Hot Air Balloon Festival, we took a bus from Cubao, Manila to Clark, Pampanga early in the morning(around 5AM) and arrived at the Dau Bus Terminal about an hour an half later. Some buses can drop you off, or from Dau terminal, you can ride a shuttle or jeepney to the airport.
