DOMESTIC Bliss?



I really love this sign
.

It shows me that:

1. We Pinoys really have an ABSURD Sense of Humor
2. Airport Authorities are DEAD SERIOUS about these threats.





I haven't flown domestic since my last trip to Boracay
six months ago,
and I was surprised (pleasantly for most & some unpleasantly)
at the following changes at the Manila Domestic Airport:

1. Like in the LRT and MRT,
Men & Women are now fully segregated...

if only at the queues for the X-Ray/Metal Detectors.


2. The SMOKING AREA,
once located at the Boarding Area,
is now behind the Coffee Experience store
right before the terminal fee booths.

and yes, it's gotten larger,
with better ventilation,
with a view of the runway to boot!



3. As in International Flights,
all creams, liquids, gels have to be checked-in.

no more brushing your teeth in-flight!
and if your cigarette lighter has sentimental value,
dump it in your check-in luggage,
or say goodbye to the light of your life.



4. At the final security check,
you'll have to remove your shoes/sandals...
... and even your belts!

Foot Fetishists can hang out here...
just make sure your socks have no holes,
you perv!!!



5. No more snacks on Cebu Pacific "short hops".

No more Chippy, Presto chocolates,
and other Universal Robina food items.
But, you still get your C2!!!



Have you noticed that Cebu Pacific
no longer uses their "ON TIME, ALL THE TIME" tagline?

It's because they're NOT.

Both my outbound & inbound flights were delayed
by an average of 20 minutes,
but this is also partly due to severe congestion
at the common runways of the Three (!) Terminals.

But with their super-cheap fares,
the most charming (and cutest!) flight attendants,
the FUN GAMES which create a sense of cameraderie,
and with their new inflight magazine SMILE to read,

Im still a SUKI of 5J!!!




p.s.
The arrival area of the Old Domestic
looks really Christmassy these days.

Maligayang Pagdating indeed...

kahit medyo late!!!
