  • It's a small airport but more than efficient. In and out, no covered ramps, walk to and from the aircraft on marked tarmac. Baggage area can be a little hectic, let one of the baggage helpers find your things it's plenty cheap enough. There's usually lots of taxi's and jeepney's waiting for passengers upon flight arrival. Don't let yourself get ripped off - it's only a short drive to downtown Tacloban and any major hotel. 200-300 pesos for a private ride will suffice.
  • Come on futuredude!!You probably closed your eyes when you were inside the terminal.It's very depressing.My comments are address to some politicians who dont even care to upgrade the airport.Scale model of the airport is just lying for so long inside the passenger lounge just to assure the passengers that uprading is forhtcoming.It is there since time immemorial.It is for show actually..Your politicians here lost some sense of responsability and understanding to the needs of all travelers who use the airport oftentimes.Iloilo and Bacolod had just open their sophisticated airport.Bakit di magawa ng mga politico dito.Samantalang gumagamit naman sila ng airport din.Or gaya ni futuredude ay pikit din ang mata kung nasa loob ng airport.Just asking..
