There have been some people that have ask if there is alternate traanspotation from AC to Manila Airport and vice versa.
Swagman Travel has a bus that goes from AC to Manila and back again. It is not the Swaqman located on fields,
it is located at the Swagman Hotel. The bus makes one rest stop along the way.
The bus will pick you up at your hotel and take you to the Swagman Hotel in Manila. You will then catch a van that will drop you off at your terminal. Total cost 900 pesos.
The bus is clean comfortable and they even show a movie on the way to Manila.
I took this route the last time. The bus was late getting to Manila. I told the lady conductor on the bus and they held the airport van for me so I could make my connection.
If you have to catch a cab from the Swagman Hotel in Manila to the Airport, it should be no more then 300 pesos.
Unless your flight leaves or arrives at some ungodly hour like mine usually does, this would be much cheaper then hotel cars that I have to use.
I was able to use this service because I was going to Bankok and my flight left at 0930pm.
I made it to the airport in plenty of time.
If this information does not go to the correct section, I apologize. I am new at writng threads. I just felt it is time I started sharing information also.

Or you could take a trike to the bus station in Dau (max 100 pesos), take an aircon bus to Pasay (about 130 pesos) and take a taxi to the airport (around 150 pesos). For about 1/3 of the price you can get to the airport and NOT be tied to the Swagman schedule.
I've done this dozens of times - 5 Star bus line is my favorite due to the location of it's terminal in Pasay - and it takes between 2 - 3 hours (depending on traffic in Manila). Buses run regularly to Manila or Dau, but you may experience a wait for a bus to fill up. The longest wait I've had was about 30 minutes in Manila. In Dau the longest wait was about 15 minutes.
Of course, this route is not suitable for those people who need to be spoon-fed and dropped off at the door of their hotel. The only way I would pay for a hotel car is if I am arriving/leaving very late/early or am sharing a ride to the airport.
Thanks for your report.
