Wanderasm’s Savvy Travel Tips:
- We generally recommend flying into El Nido Airport (ENI) airport as opposed to Puerto Princesa (PPS) to save time. Tip: If you do travel to Puerto Princesa (PPS) allow ~7 hours for the van commute to El Nido.
- Take the earliest flights – less delays. There’s a saying that flights in the Philippines are on “Philippines Standard Time” so the later your flight is, the more likely it will be delayed.
