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 taxHere’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 going on a domestic flight, flying via Manila Airport or arriving in any airport in the Philippines. The terminal fee should already be included in the flight ticket price upon booking.The terminal fee only applies to domestic flights departing from Clark Airport and international flights departing from Cebu, Clark, Kalibo, Davao, Iloilo, or Puerto Princesa (basically, all international airports outside Manila). 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 P850 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 PaymentSelected airlines including Cebu Pacific offer the option of paying the Philippine Travel Tax online on their website.

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 saysFebruary 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 Lovelie rodriguez saysFebruary 19, 2017 at 5:12 am Hi i am traveling to singapore next week.

Best to contact TIEZA to be sure.Enjoy your trip!Reply Luigi saysMay 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 saysMay 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 Janyl saysMay 18, 2017 at 12:02 pm Hello po, magandang araw pupunta po ako ng dubai by july… Aside from plane ticket, terminal fee and travel tax may babayaran pa po ba ako.

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 saysFebruary 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 saysMay 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 saysMay 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

The cruise will end in shanghai and we already bought ticket to fly home. Same question, do we have to pay terminal fee upon arrival in manila? Thanks!Reply
Marcos Detourista saysMarch 16, 2018 at 1:07 pm Hello Jon M., the terminal fees discussed on this page is for airports in the Philippines. I recommend that you inquire with the cruise operator about fee included/not included in your package.Reply

Trisha lee saysJuly 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 saysJuly 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

Cecille saysFebruary 27, 2019 at 8:22 am Hi. Just want to ask if my family still needs to pay Travel Tax and Terminal Fee? They are departing from Manila International Airport. I booked their tickets at PAL and they have an Immigrant Passport . Thank youReply
Marcos Detourista saysMarch 1, 2019 at 2:33 pm Hi Cecille, the terminal fee applies to all passengers & the travel tax applies to Philippine citizens. Might be worth asking the airline about the policy/exemptions, in your case.Reply
