wala ng dadaanang immigration/custom kung connecting flight ka lang naman, transfer ka lang sa gate mo un lang ang gagawin... hindi naman matagal un..

ung sa vancouver hindi ok ung 2 hours waiting kase dadaan ka sa immigration plus interview plus transfer sa domestic.. vancouver un marami nag laland compare to toronto.. mas matagal ang waiting sa vancouver kase maraming immigrant mas ok kung 4 hours waiting mo para sure may kilala ko dito 2 hours ang waiting nya sa vancouver ata naiwanan sya ng airplane kase nga that time maraming immigrant eh hindi naman sure kung kelan maraming immigrant na maglaland or onti lang.. tip lang swertihan lang din kapag wala gaano imimgrant and medjo malayo layo din daw ung domestic sa vancouver.. and minsan sa pila pa lang matagal na meron iba 2 hours nagaantay sa pila
lang un wala pa sa interview un and depende pa sa nagiinterview un kung matagal o hindi so un..
umuuwi ako sa philippines every year kaya i know na dumadaan ng custom and immigration. madalas sa japan at hong kong ang stopover ko.

Hindi n po dadaan unless lalabas ka sa airport pero kung connecting ka. wala ng custom at immigration, baka ung sinasabi mo ay ung nagchecheck sa gate na pasakay n ng plane kasi un lang ang dadaanan mo pag connecting flight ka dahil nasa loob k lang ng airport pag nagstopover. :D :D :D

kaya nga yoko mabitin sa oras//... my sked k n b? klan flight mo?
hi pinoyme...My target date is from either May 16, 17 or 18, kung saan meron flight ang PAL to Vancouver. I don't know kasi if they fly daily. Actually, dalawang travel agent ang in-email ko so I can check which has the better rate or option. My husband decided he will pick me up in Vancouver and we go on a road trip na lang to Alberta (saya!) haha...I thought it was a better option too kasi I am pretty sure ma over baggage ako...and what is good about PAL (since Bacolod pa ako galing) is pag connecting flight ako from Bacolod, check through nalang yung baggages so once lang ako mag pay ng over baggage. Gusto ko sana talaga Cathay Pacific kasi may individual tv ang seats haha (babaw ko) pero I will have to check in their counter na naman and pay another fee for over baggage...ayoko na. Mas convenient na for me ang PAL.

You are flying May 19 right? You got na a ticket?

sa japan or hong kong, bago ka makapunta ng gate for your connecting flight, dadaan ka muna ng custom and immigration. hindi ka basta basta na lang makakapunta ng gate.

my apology, you and kulilit are correct. you have to go through security check nga pala at hindi custom and immigration.

@ pinoy me
my apology for providing you incorrect information earlier. you will have to go through security check at hindi sa custom and immigration as previously indicated. nevertheless, hindi pa rin advisable na 2 hours lang ang layover mo lalo na kung first time traveller ka at di mo alam what to expect. lahat ng passengers with connecting flight will have to go through security check kaya you can expect a long line up especially now na tight ang security and it is more likely than not na it will be a slow moving process. the way i see it, you already waited this long, so what's another few hours. at least relax ka at hindi mag papanic na baka ma miss mo ang flight mo.
