Hi, We will be in the Philippines October 11 - Nov 16th and we're thinking of heading straight to Panglao. We would prefer to get there, scope it out, and then pick our accommodations or do you recommend booking ahead of time? Any recommendations for budget on the beach? We're very simple and won't be in the room much. Looking for great people and great activities.

On another note, I'm sure it's wiser to book our Cebuair flight from Manilia to Taglibaron ahead of time, but does anyone recommend waiting till we arrive in order to get a better deal? Right now I'm seeing about PHP2300 with bags.

Book at least your first night so you can drop off your bags and look around.

Last minute fares are never cheaper.

Thanks! How much time do you recommend between landing in Manila (0935) and our flight to Bohol? Are flight in is SFO to Taipei to Manila. I am looking at the last flight of the day which is at 1300.

Also, our ideal route would be Panglao to Siquijor to Camiguin to Siargao, but I am having trouble finding accurate ferry/boat transport. Any updated info? What is the likelyhood of hiring a banka from Camiguin to Siargao? We are very adverturous and are boaters/sailors. My husband is a Captain in the US.

Thanks for all your help on these random questions.

1pm isn;t the last flight from Manila to Tagbilaran.

Philippine Airlines (PAL) has flight PR2777 at 2.10 pm

And I see that Air Asia has flight Z2 352 at 1.45 pm, for about half the price of PAL

If I had a Philippine Airlines flight into the Philippines then onto Tagbilaran via terminal 2 in Manila, on the same itinerary, I would only need 90 minutes between flights. That is the minimum allowed by PAL and if the PAL international flight is delayed, it is up to them to get me to Tagbilaran

Changing terminals and airlines in Manila in only 3.5 hours is on the edge of my comfort zone.

The rest of your question I answered in another thread
