Terminal Blues

Few hours before the flight

Davao is a 2 hours flight from Manila, But the News suggests we come early to check in to avoid the crowd.

We did!

Checking in at terminal 2. We still prefer Terminal 3 as it has more amenities. But 2 was never bad.

There are still a lot of shops and countertops meant for laptop users.

With two hours before the flight, Hanging around Terminal 2 ain’t that bad.

Now, after a year, We can’t wait to see how the Day 1 of the Kadayawan special 2023 turn out.
