TIPS TO AVOID MISSING YOUR FLIGHTℹ️
1. ⏰ Be at the airport at least 4 hours before your flight
• International flights take time due to:
• Check-in
• Immigration
• Baggage screening
• Boarding
• It’s better to wait at the airport than to panic or be left behind.
2. 📄 Prepare all your travel documents the night before
Make sure the following are complete and ready:
• Valid passport (at least 6 months before expiration)
• E-ticket or printed ticket
• Seaman’s Book (for seafarers)
• Employment contract / Company letter
• OEC / Exit clearance (for OFWs)
• Vaccination card or travel health documents (if required)
3. 📱 Double-check your flight details
• Confirm your flight date, time, terminal, and airline
• Some airports (like NAIA) have multiple terminals, so make sure you’re going to the correct one
• Check the airline app or website for updates, delays, or gate changes
4. 🛣️ Plan your travel to the airport
• Know the estimated travel time and consider traffic
• Use apps like Waze or Google Maps
• Arrange your transport early – whether it’s Grab, taxi, or private car
5. 🎒 Pack your bags 1–2 days before departure
• Avoid last-minute packing
• Weigh your bags and follow airline baggage rules
• Do not pack prohibited items like:
• Scissors
• Liquids over 100ml
• Lighters, etc.
6. 🔋 Charge your phone and bring a power bank
• Your phone will be your main tool for:
• E-ticket
• Airline updates
• Emergency contact
• Make sure the power bank is in your carry-on (not in checked baggage)
7. 😴 Get enough rest the night before
• Sleep early to avoid oversleeping or feeling tired on the day of your flight
• Set multiple alarms
8. 👕 Dress comfortably and appropriately
• You’ll pass through security screening, so avoid clothes or accessories that may slow you down (e.g. heavy belts, too much jewelry)
9. 📢 Pay attention to airport announcements
• Announcements about boarding, gate changes, or delays are common
• Be alert and stay updated while waiting
10. 🏃♂️ Proceed to your boarding gate early
• Once done with immigration and security, go straight to your gate
• Avoid wandering around or spending too much time shopping
