HomeAsiaSoutheast AsiaPhilippines Philippine Airports – Terminal Fee, Travel Tax & Flights Guide By Marcos Detourista. Updated on February 9, 2020. What is Philippine travel tax? How much is the terminal fee for international and domestic flights? Read these helpful tips if you’re flying to/from Manila-NAIA, Cebu, Davao, Clark, Kalibo & more. Are you traveling in the Philippines or abroad? There are some important things to know before you fly. This detailed guide answers frequently asked questions about Philippine airports and flights. Philippine terminal fee + travel tax Here’s a lowdown on fees that you might have to pay at airports in the Philippines. Followed by helpful tips about individual airports. What is the terminal fee? You need not worry about the terminal fee if you are arriving in any airport to the Philippines, departing on a domestic flight, or departing on an international flight from Manila, Cebu, Davao, Iloilo or Kalibo. The terminal fee should already be included in the flight ticket price upon booking. As of Jan 2, 2020, the terminal fee is paid at the airport ONLY for international flights departing from Clark and Puerto Princesa. The airport terminal fee or “Philippine passenger service charge” (DPSC) is an airport tax/exit fee for passengers departing from airports in the Philippines. The terminal fee ranges from P50 to P220 per person for domestic flights or P600 to P1,135 per person for international flights. Overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) are exempted from paying the terminal fee. What is PH Travel Tax? The Philippine travel tax is a fee imposed by the government for Filipinos traveling abroad. The full travel tax is P1,620 for passengers on economy class plane tickets and P2,700 when flying first class. As stated by Presidential Decree 1183, Philippine citizens have to pay the appropriate travel tax, regardless of the place where the airline ticket is issued or the form of payment. You need not worry about the travel tax if you’re a foreigner traveling in the Philippines on a short visit or simply transiting as this fee only applies to citizens of the Philippines, permanent resident aliens and non-immigrant aliens who have stayed in the Philippines for a period of not less than one year. These individuals are also exempted from the travel tax: Overseas Filipino workers (OFWs), infants (2 years and below), and Filipino permanent residents abroad whose stay in the Philippines is less than one year. You can check TIEZA’s website for the full details on PH travel tax exemptions and reduced fees. PH Travel Tax Online Payment Selected airlines including Cebu Pacific offer the option of paying the Philippine Travel Tax online on their website. This is highly recommended if you want to skip lining up at the airport. You can also pay the travel tax online on the TIEZA Online Travel Tax Payment System (OTTPS) website.

Thanks ☺ Reply Marcos Detourist says May 15, 2016 at 5:53 pm Hey Budy, If you have a single journey ticket, I’m not sure if you have to pay, but if you are changing airlines or if you’re required to check-in for your next flight then you may have to pay the international terminal fee. The Philippine travel tax is mostly for Philippine residents.

It is charged specifically for every plane ticket. You can read more info about it at http://tieza.gov.ph/travel-tax/.

Reply kenshe says February 1, 2017 at 4:48 pm hi, im an OFW , me and my mom and bb will travel to HK for holiday via CEbupacific airways in the tkts it says passenger service charge and TAXES AND FEES PH Passenger Service Charge – PHP 491.07 – is this the terminal fee? Hong Kong Airport Construction Fee – PHP 577.94 Air Passenger Departure Tax – PHP 770.59 – is this the travel tax? Security Surcharge – PHP 288.97 and i want to ask also , since im OFW am i exempted with this taxes (terminal and travel tax going to HK for holiday?) Reply Marcos Detourist says February 1, 2017 at 9:52 pm Hi Kenshe, I’ll breakdown the list so it’s easier to go through them. PH Passenger Service Charge – PHP 491.07 – is this the terminal fee? This I believe is the PH airport terminal fee. There should be another item called the “PH PSC Value Added Tax: 58.93,” which usually amounts to P58.93. So, the total is the P550 terminal fee. This terminal fee should be refundable for OFWs with OEC. Air Passenger Departure Tax – PHP 770.59 – is this the travel tax? This is a HK$120 fee charged in Hong Kong, not in the Philippines.

Riza from GenSan Reply Marcos Detourist says May 12, 2017 at 2:09 pm Hello Riza, I’m not sure if he is required to pay. Best to contact TIEZA to be sure. Enjoy your trip! Reply Luigi says May 14, 2017 at 12:12 pm There seems to be a bit of a confusion (mix up) here … Under “Airport terminal fee” you wrote: “You do not have to pay the terminal fee if you are on a flight from Manila, Caticlan (Boracay), or a domestic flight from Cebu.” and again under “Popular Philippine Airports” you wrote: Cebu-Mactan (CEB) Domestic – Included in flight ticket. International – P750. But … under “Mactan–Cebu International Airport (CEB)” you wrote: “The Cebu Airport passenger terminal fee is P750 per person for domestic flights. If you are on an international flight, you do not have to pay the terminal fee since it should already be paid for / included in the plane ticket price, at the time of booking.” This is the total opposite of the first two. So which is correct? Also if you go international but is required to change plane, like Cebu to Manila, then Manila to Bangkok, do you have to first pay Domestic then International terminal fees or do you pay the International terminal fee twice? Once in Cebu (750) and again (as included in ticket) in Manila? Reply Marcos Detourist says May 14, 2017 at 5:17 pm The first one is correct. Thanks for pointing out the error Luigi. Just did a mock online booking for a Cebu-Manila-Bangkok flight, only the P750 PH international terminal fee shows up on the receipt. So, you might have to pay the terminal fee (for international flights) ONLY ONCE & it’s already included in the total price, upon purchase. This assumes that the whole journey is on a single plane ticket, and not two separate tickets. If you booked a Cebu – Manila flight ticket, and another Manila – Bangkok flight ticket … You might have to pay the domestic terminal fee in Cebu, and international terminal fee in Manila. Both should already be included in the total price, upon purchase. So, you don’t need to pay at the airport. If both flights are on the same airline, on the same day, best to ask the airport/airline staff if you can get a refund for your Cebu-Manila terminal fee… If they are on different airlines & on different dates, you will need to pay both. You only pay the international terminal fee once.

Many thanks if someone can answer our queries. Reply Marcos Detourist says September 22, 2017 at 9:00 am The “travel tax” commonly mentioned on this page is the Philippine Travel Tax. It mostly applies to Philippine citizens traveling abroad and foreigners on long-term PH visa. If you are visiting the PH for a short time, you shouldn’t need to worry about it. It is paid at the airport not when you book your flight online anyways. Those fees you mentioned are probably mandatory airport/gov’t fees. So yes, you may need to pay all of them.

Marcos Detourist says February 1, 2017 at 9:52 pm Hi Kenshe, I’ll breakdown the list so it’s easier to go through them. PH Passenger Service Charge – PHP 491.07 – is this the terminal fee? This I believe is the PH airport terminal fee. There should be another item called the “PH PSC Value Added Tax: 58.93,” which usually amounts to P58.93. So, the total is the P550 terminal fee. This terminal fee should be refundable for OFWs with OEC. Air Passenger Departure Tax – PHP 770.59 – is this the travel tax? This is a HK$120 fee charged in Hong Kong, not in the Philippines. Reply

Luigi says May 14, 2017 at 12:12 pm There seems to be a bit of a confusion (mix up) here … Under “Airport terminal fee” you wrote: “You do not have to pay the terminal fee if you are on a flight from Manila, Caticlan (Boracay), or a domestic flight from Cebu.” and again under “Popular Philippine Airports” you wrote: Cebu-Mactan (CEB) Domestic – Included in flight ticket. International – P750. But … under “Mactan–Cebu International Airport (CEB)” you wrote: “The Cebu Airport passenger terminal fee is P750 per person for domestic flights. If you are on an international flight, you do not have to pay the terminal fee since it should already be paid for / included in the plane ticket price, at the time of booking.” This is the total opposite of the first two. So which is correct? Also if you go international but is required to change plane, like Cebu to Manila, then Manila to Bangkok, do you have to first pay Domestic then International terminal fees or do you pay the International terminal fee twice? Once in Cebu (750) and again (as included in ticket) in Manila? Reply
Marcos Detourist says May 14, 2017 at 5:17 pm The first one is correct. Thanks for pointing out the error Luigi. Just did a mock online booking for a Cebu-Manila-Bangkok flight, only the P750 PH international terminal fee shows up on the receipt. So, you might have to pay the terminal fee (for international flights) ONLY ONCE & it’s already included in the total price, upon purchase. This assumes that the whole journey is on a single plane ticket, and not two separate tickets. If you booked a Cebu – Manila flight ticket, and another Manila – Bangkok flight ticket … You might have to pay the domestic terminal fee in Cebu, and international terminal fee in Manila. Both should already be included in the total price, upon purchase. So, you don’t need to pay at the airport. If both flights are on the same airline, on the same day, best to ask the airport/airline staff if you can get a refund for your Cebu-Manila terminal fee… If they are on different airlines & on different dates, you will need to pay both. You only pay the international terminal fee once. Reply

Duane Starkey says August 30, 2017 at 12:28 pm I wish you had posted or been able to see the dates of when these posts were put up. I am so confused on this terminal fee b/s.

Mrs Drummond says September 22, 2017 at 8:19 am Do I need to pay all these fees when booking Philippine Airlines? Passenger service charge usd 11, airport construction fee usd 12, airport passenger security chare usd 6, Air passenger departure tax usd 16, is this what they called travel tax and do we need to pay coz we’re on European passports? Many thanks if someone can answer our queries. Reply
Marcos Detourist says September 22, 2017 at 9:00 am The “travel tax” commonly mentioned on this page is the Philippine Travel Tax. It mostly applies to Philippine citizens traveling abroad and foreigners on long-term PH visa. If you are visiting the PH for a short time, you shouldn’t need to worry about it. It is paid at the airport not when you book your flight online anyways. Those fees you mentioned are probably mandatory airport/gov’t fees. So yes, you may need to pay all of them. Reply
Jay says October 3, 2017 at 10:59 pm Hi tanong ko Lang poh if I need to pay terminal fee or travel tax ? I’m British citizen with British passport I stayed here just for 30 days. Tnx
Marcos Detourist says October 4, 2017 at 9:36 am You only need to pay the terminal fee is it’s not already included in the ticket fare (on purchase). All airlines have started to include terminal fee in the price of the ticket recently.
Krista says October 15, 2017 at 9:29 pm Hi May tax and departure fee pa po bang babayaran sa Hong Kong Airport pag uwi namin sa Manila or kasama na sya ticket? Ito po yung nakalagay sa ticket namin.

Trisha lee says July 3, 2018 at 2:17 pm Very expensive travel tax and terminal fee but you cannot see any progress here in Philippines. Everywhere you go, there is fee! Unlike in other countries they are not collecting any terminal fee fee from customer. Reply
Marcos Detourista says July 15, 2018 at 6:02 pm Hi Trisha, all airports around the world charge terminal fees and taxes, you just don’t notice it because it’s already included in the airfare. As for the travel tax for international Pinoy travelers, PH Gov’t should really make an exception for ASEAN flights, which will encourage more intra-regional tourism activities/spending. Reply

Christopher Hadden says October 8, 2019 at 11:50 pm This is extortion. How can the government impose a tax on international travellers? Also most airlines do not make it clear that there is terminal fee in Cebu. Philippines needs to stop this corruption. Reply
Jim Sibbick says November 9, 2019 at 7:21 pm All airports charge a terminal fee. Most airports in the world charge way more than any airport in the Philippines. They just include the terminal fee in your ticket price so you don’t see it. In any case, for international flights from Mactan Cebu, purchased since 1st September this year, they have the terminal fee included in the ticket price now. Reply

Maria Theresa says November 18, 2019 at 2:53 pm I would like to give an update regarding the Airport Terminal Fee or what it is now called as INTERNATIONAL PASSENGER SERVICE CHARGE, I just booked a ticket and I saw in the payment invoice, it is already included in the ticket price. So no need to pay at the airport for the Terminal fee. For all you travelling passengers, please confirm it first in the invoice before paying for the terminal fee at the airport. To avoid paying twice . . . Reply
