As said in my previous post , this first leg of my circle trip was flying TAC-CEB-MNL. Not that I am complaining, I'm just telling! I've been doing that for many years now. Oh, if you're new here, or not yet that familiar, I've started using IATA airport codes in my blogs, like: TAC is the code for Tacloban, CEB for Cebu and MNL for Manila. Now.., why go through connecting flights when there are lots of direct TAC to MNL flights? Well, people have many varied reasons in doing so. But, many of you, dear readers, already know, my reason is: just to drop my laundry in Cebu - where I live ! Oist, nothing illegal there!

This was another fun-flight-day. Meaning? Ah, another circuitous route from Point A to Point B. Yey! Much like how I flew into this new Bohol-Panglao International Airport (IATA Airport Code is still TAG ), my flight-out may look complicated. But we already expounded on that in a previous story , right? Yea! This first leg of the route was a "new to me" flight, a direct service on PAL from Panglao to Davao. Was I excited? "Very", to say the least! Why? Well, because this route is rather new. PAL started on this only in November 2017 with a 4x per week flight, then they made it once-a-day schedule since March 2018. Convenience both for international and domestic passengers who want to hop directly between these two tourist capitals -Bohol and Davao- without the need for backtracking to say, Cebu or even Manila. Let's go na! Departure From The New Panglao International Airport Bye Panglao's New Airport ! Pushback! Aw, not literally push-back. I...
