Flight

Flying to Manila

There are no direct flights to Boracay. We recommend booking a direct flight to Manila (NAIA Airport) via Philippine Airlines. Or book a flight through a different airline with minimal layover times. From there, book a connecting flight from Manila to Caticlan. You may use this link to find the best airline deals to Manila:

Flight

Flights from Manila to Caticlan Airport

When you get to Manila, you will likely land in the International Terminal. Please note that the International Terminal is different from the Domestic Terminal. Give yourself enough time to get to the different terminals if you are flying to/from Boracay the same day.

Travel Note

Getting from Caticlan Airport to your hotel

Getting from the Caticlan airport to your hotel requires a shuttle to the ferry terminal (Caticlan Jetty Port) and a ferry ride to the island. Most hotels offer complimentary land/boat transfers that will take you from the Airport directly to your hotel. Please double check with your hotel to make sure that they offer this service. If not, you make your transfers using the link below.

Travel Note

Booking your hotel

Exchange Rate is $1= PHP 50-54 With the re-opening of Boracay, only certain hotels are approved for operation. This should be disclosed on the hotel's website upon booking. Please note that you may have to show evidence of where you are staying at the airport so please be sure to print your hotel details. The Lind is our chosen venue for the wedding. Should you choose to stay at a different hotel, we recommend that you pick a place in Station 1. Station 1 is where the wedding will be and tends to be less crowded compared to the other stations. Station 2 tends to be a little busier. Please see other suggested hotels below. *Take note that all tourists traveling to Boracay will be charged an Environmental Fee of Php 75/person and a port fee of PhP 100/person per entry. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us for travel assistance. We'd be happy to help in any way that we can. :)
