fares from manila

[grate-britte]

think off the top of my head
was 1620 php tax for filipino citizen

then 750php each airport tax

just had enough , we had given all our left over money to our family.
but lucky had enough, couldn't even buy a drink after waiting

I read elsewhere about the 1620php IMIGRATION fee in addition to airport tax. My Filipino wife is EMMIGRATING to the UK. When she visited me last year she didn't have this tax and she travelled on an e-ticket I bought on the net. Anyone know if this fee applies?

It's not an immigration fee as you pay it when you have to leave the Philippines (so mostly when emigrating...).
If settled abroad, you pay P200 exemption fee instead of the P1620 travel tax.

By Law, all Filipino citizen are required to pay the travel tax unless they can benefit of the travel text exemption (fee is P200 in this case).

Everything is explained here: http://www.philtourism.gov.ph/ttax.html

If the airline let her board the plane directly with your eticket, this mean you already paid it (look at the tax details on the e-ticket). If not they refuse the check-in and send you to pay it at the Travel Tax desk in the terminal.
