More domestic flights have been launched by carriers PAL Express and Skyjet to Basco Batanes from Manila recently.
Batanes is the Philippines' northernmost island group which boast of pristine and rugged terrain and spectacular views of the coasts.
PAL Express, affiliate carrier of Philippine Airlines, started their thrice weekly service to Basco, Batanes last 1 May.
The flight, 2P084, leaves Manila every Monday, Wednesday, Friday at 6:00 AM and arrives at Basco airport in Batan island at 7:45 AM. Return flight, 2P085, departs Basco at 8:10 AM to arrive in Manila at 9:50 AM.
Skyjet meanwhile is offering seat sales until the end of July for the travel period from 2 December 2013 until 31 May 2014.
Not many folks make it to any of these islands, but I highly recommend a serious consideration.
Completely different and a unique experience.
Take the opportunity before it becomes another ghastly tourist trap
