Wanderasm's Savvy Travel Tips: We generally recommend flying into El Nido Airport (ENI) airport as opposed to Puerto Princesa (PPS) to save time. Tip: If you do travel to Puerto Princesa (PPS) allow ~7 hours for the van commute to El Nido. Take the earliest flights - less delays. Theres a saying that flights are on Philippines Standard Time so the later your flight is the higher the chance is of a delay.
