Is this your first time to fly to or from Clark International Airport? That's a smart choice, especially if you live up north, like in Quezon City, Caloocan, and Bulacan. You can get to the Clark Airport in Angeles City, Pampanga faster than going to NAIA in Pasay City.
Driving your car to the airport can be very inconvenient and costly. Think about the traffic jam, the hassle of finding a parking space, and the parking fee. Clark Airport's Park 'N Fly facility charges PHP 90 per day. That can cost you a lot in parking fee if you'll be away for long.
Fortunately, there are easier ways to get to Clark International Airport from Manila[1] or the other way around: P2P bus and airport transport services.
