Warm welcome, worn facilities
The staff were friendly and did their best, and there's cheap local food to be found.
The terminals feel dated and crowded, and the traffic getting into Manila is brutal.
Manila's airport tested my patience a little, with tired facilities and a real crush of people at the gates. That said, the people working there were kind and helped me sort out a confusing connection. The traffic on the way into the city was the toughest part, so brace yourself for a slow ride.
