I've only been to Boracay two times--post-summer of 2006 with my church-mates and labor day weekend of last year (2013) for the Smart Live All Out event. Last week was my third time (June 20 to 22) courtesy of SEAIR when me and three other blogger friends went to the "island paradise" for the #SEAirBackToBoracay event.
Actually, it's my second time to fly with SEAIR. The first time was in 2010 when we took the Singapore-Clark route in their Boeing 737 freighter. Last week, I met their Dornier 328 dubbed as the only leisure airline to Boracay and the fastest one at that.
Our flight was scheduled at 2:00pm and we arrived at the Diosdado Macapagal International Airport in Clark around 12:45pm. After checking in and paying the P150 terminal fee, we proceeded to the waiting area and spotted the Dornier 328 being prepared for the flight. As early as 1:30pm, we were called to board the 30-seater plane.
Me and @showbiznest @maxtermind and @juanderfulpinoy started taking pictures and selfies with the Dornier plane in the background.
Since all passengers were already inside, the plane took off 5 minutes ahead of schedule.
After around 35-50 minutes, touchdown Boracay Airport! It was indeed faster than my flight to Boracay last year.
I was the last one to alight the plane to have my photo taken with the friendly flight attendant named Sharmaine (See her videos below).
If you're looking for the fastest and most affordable flight to Boracay (Caticlan), I highly recommend SEAIR International. It was fun, fast and smooth travel riding the Dornier 328.
SEAIR flies daily from Clark to Caticlan, except Tuesdays and Saturdays, and flies Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from Caticlan to Puerto Princesa and vice versa.
You can book online at www.flyseair.com. They also have an ongoing promo at Ensogo (78% discount) which is good until July 17, 2014 for the travel period: June 17, 2014 to October 27, 2014.
