In fact, for this trip, I had not just 1 but 2 same-day flight transfers, and it was all worth the while!

I flew Tacloban to Cebu to Clark to Panglao (3 flights) for a total cost of only PHP8,609 which already included prime seat reservations for each flight! That price is comparable to any other means. And if you're meticulous, you would have not
