Emirates to Clark.

[firth1974 2,659]

Just been looking on www.kayak.co.uk, flights to Clark from LHR are coming up at £513 for November. Minimum transfer times in Dubai, and excellent arrival and departure times from Clark.That may be too good an offer to turn away.

Please update us with how this flight and the process clearing through Clark goes.

 

Emirates is top notch but if Clark does not prepare for an increase in travelers then it could be a two hour que to clear customs and there is a problem with the taxi mafia that works Clark charging 500p just to drop you off at hotel near Fields.

 

Given a choice of flying into NAIA or Clark I would much prefer Clark but I have heard nothing good about the customs people working that airport. I think my record for getting out of NAIA with no bags and into a taxi is 18 minutes.

How long does it take from NAIA to Clark? How much does it cost?

Depending on Manila traffic it can take 90 minutes to 2 hours. Some people claim it can be done in 60 minutes but ive had it take 60 minutes just to get from the airport to the toll booth on the highway.

 

Cost varies like BKK to Patts but if you plan carefully you can have a driver waiting that cost you 1,600p and on a bad day 2,400p.

You've got to get through/around the city of Manila to get from NAIA to Clark/Angeles City.

Just to maybe update the information as of about 1 yr ago the cheapest taxi I could get was that booked through the Margarita Stn in Angeles at 2600 peso and just take it at 1.5 hrs travel anything less is a bonus

Hmmm. Don't think I could hack a 14 hour flight. Can't sleep on planes.

 

Thanks CT.

With Emirates and Qatar you have the option of flying back to the UK from BKK (or KUL/SIN) which would make a two-centre trip more practical IMHO.

Hope they are better than the awful service (747s) that used to run the LHR-BKK-MNL route, before they collapsed last time!
