[@myrayumang6228]

[@angelicaalim9927]

[@zearaiza]

@@angelicaalim9927 hi, no need na po. Ive traveled twice since this video was posted in 2022, and vaccine card/proof is no longer required. Same sa other international flights. Safe travels!

[@edacrescini4587]

Hi hello. May I ask where did you request your Vax Cert... from the Bureau of Quarantine? Thanks.

[@edacrescini4587]

Very informative vlog. May I ask pls in case of connecting flights from Philippines to MiNNEAPOLIS with lay overs at Japan and Seattle, where will I get my luggage from checking in at NAIA? IS IT AT JAPAN OR AT SEATTLE OR AT MINNEAPOLIS AIRPORT? YOUR ANSWER WOULD HELP A LOT. .THANKS

[@herrasuarez3541]

hi mam.. may I asked if they still asked for a transit VISA in japan? I will have a layover of 6 hours po kasi sa japan. Just wanna make sure I have all the necessary requirements and docs

[@rosevillasenor8830]

May expiration po b vax cert? Pwede bng kumuha 2 to 3 mos prior to travel?

[@heisenberg5766]

Hopefully travelling soon to Houston. Thank you for this.

[@jimjuvperez8190]

Thank you so much for bringing ne hr. Very beautiful vedio. I love it.❤❤

[@myrayumang6228]

if my lay over po kayu ng Japan need po ba ng transit visa? thanks po

[@zearaiza]

Hi, no need for any visa po if you are not leaving the airport :)

[@myrayumang6228]

@@zearaiza thank you po flying to US this coming June and I have lay over 2hrs only

[@MssandritaRN]

Hi! Anong mode of payment gamit nyo sa airport po ng Japan and US? Thank u po😊

[@tingpineraphd2422]

I thought hindi na needed ang vaxcert if you are just transiting sa japan and will not go out of the airport during the layover?

[@chelleestolloso8529]

Hi Maam, san po kayo kumuha ng declaration form?

[@B0G24]

Hi ma’am good day! Question po! Any requirements pag may lay over in Japan like negative pcr tests? Or download some app? Pa US din kasi ako thank you po sa sagot.

[@zearaiza]

Hi. Wala pong required na test for the layover at the time ng travel ko, July 18. Tingin ko naman walang changes. Wala rin pong app na need i download palabas ng pinas and for layover. Pero yung PABALIK ng Philippines, sa check-in pa lang need na naka register for OneHealthPass within 72hrs prior to travel, then sa layover eh wala nang iche-check. I hope helpful ☺️

[@juanreyes-dg1ml]

why is it that their is a travel tax to pay(NIA) since it is not flying over phil. air space(since flying out of phil.) .is it also applicable for domestic flight? d the only airport that you will pay travel tax grrrr anybody have d explanation?

[@zearaiza]

Very good question but I don’t see any direct explanation online. They just say who the beneficiaries are - Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority (TIEZA), Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and National Commission of Culture and Arts (NCCA) for tourism-related programs in the Philippines. So how I view it is that they are actually making people who are leaving the country for tourism abroad cover expenses to boost tourism in the Philippines. OFWs and foreigners leaving the Philippines don’t pay travel tax. So it’s like saying, hey, since you can afford to travel abroad, you can afford the travel tax to be used in getting tourists to travel in the Philippines. Also, it can be interpreted as, if you want to travel, do it domestically so that you don’t get taxed. Then your spending during the trip becomes the Ph’s income, not another country’s. Actually, it’s not only the Philippines that charges tax to people leaving the country. They call it other names like departure tax, not sure what the purpose is in their case. But usually, the tax is included in the airfare.

[@rizzacantilado1220]

Hello po may fb po ba kayo?

[@cebez43]

Hello I wanted to ask which website is best to buy plane tickets? From manila to florida?

[@zearaiza]

Hi. You can check first po sa skyscanner and expedia lagay ang flight details for options. I’ve been using expedia if from Philippines ang flight. Pwd kasi magbook sa expedia mismo. Yung skyscanner, pinapakita lang ata ang options then go to the website mismo ng airline. Happy trip!

[@charmaetambong1255]

Great to know na wala nang test required. What a relief hehe. May layover din po ako sa Haneda next week 😊 Thank youuu ♥️

[@charmaetambong1255]

What did they check in the immigration po pala? :)

[@zearaiza]

@@charmaetambong1255, nag ask lang how long and where I will stay. Hindi na nag ask for supporting documents even though well-prepared, in fact, nag overprepare ako hehe. 3 weeks ako sa US and I think they consider it a short stay (will be a different case sa other countries especially Asian). Sa Immigration sa Hawaii naman, which is my point of entry sa US, same questions din, no supporting docs requested. I said sa friend ko and indicated the address. Sa kabilang booth, 1 month mag-ina sa LA naman ang destination. When asked kung san stay, sabi nila AirBnb. Nagtanong ang officer if meeting family and friends daw, sabi nila No. hiningan sila ng booking confirmation. I guess mas ok pala na visiting friends hehe. I had my invitation letter ready, as well as ID photocopy ng friend ko na nag invite although ndi ko nagamit. I hope this is helpful :)

[@charmaetambong1255]

Super helpful :) Mej praning lang ako since first time ko po. Hehe. Thank you so much ♥️

[@zearaiza]

@@charmaetambong1255 happy and safe travels 🤗❤️

[@zearaiza]

Waaah thanks! 🤗 ang haba, natamad na ako mag final cut 😂😂😂

[@rianneblessmaneclang3562]

Wish I can travel to usa❤

[@jeoffvibes]

vaxcert tlga mam,, pede nadin po kaya yung yellow card ng boq

[@zearaiza]

Pwede po yung yellow card ng boq. Yun po gamit ng friend ko nung nagbyahe xa kasi hindi xa maka generate for some reason ng vaxcert.

[@extremelyangryman2583]

hello, do you know if powerbanks are allowed inside carry-on bags?

[@zearaiza]

Yes, allowed. In fact, sa checked in baggage sya bawal. They will ask if may battery (including powerbank) sa checked in baggage and if yes, papalipat sau sa carry on baggage.

[@WordsTravelHer]

Hi, ask ko lang po if nag ask pa ng travel insurance sa Philippine Immigration upon departure? Thank you

[@zearaiza]

Hi. Sa case ko po, hindi nag ask. Pero I had it ready just in case. Wala naman talagang hard core reqt for travel insurance for US travel pero kayo na po mag assess ng risk kasi hindi natin alam ang mood ng Immigration officer hehe ☺️

[@WordsTravelHer]

Oo nga e. Depende sa mood. Ahaha. Salamat for answering my question. 😊

[@JustbeingWease]

Do you still have to pay travel fee this year leaving the phils?

[@zearaiza]

Hi. I believe if non-OFW, nothing has changed and you still have to pay for travel fee if international flight :)

[@itsmailife7061]

Hi maam ask lang po if need pa visa transit to Japan kapag U.S Citizen and may layover lang ng less than 3hrs sa Haneda airport?or not needed na

[@zearaiza]

No need po. Wala pong immigration na dadaanan sa Japan for layover as long as hindi lalabas ng airport 😊 happy trip!

[@itsmailife7061]

Thank you so much po sa reply❤️😍

[@texasinthephilippines]

How much was your flight price from Manila to Texas.

[@zearaiza]

Hi. Return trip (2-way) was $1.8k. I booked it three weeks prior to flight.

[@texasinthephilippines]

@@zearaiza I guess $1299.00 through sky scanner is a good deal.

[@LB-ty6ks]

Very helpful.

[@Fil_amcouple]

Hello po , may tanong lang po . Need pa po ba ng rtpcr Philippines and japan kapag may layover po sa japan po ? Thank you 😊

[@zearaiza]

Sa experience ko po, nag layover ako Mla to Houston sa Haneda (July), at pabalik naman sa Narita (Aug), NO TEST required po. Pero hindi po ako lumabas ng airport sa Japan. Might be a different case kung lalabas kayo para gumala. I doubt na mag change in subsequent days/months kasi going for less restrictions na ang direction.

[@Fil_amcouple]

@@zearaiza thank you po.🥰 Bali po 2 1/2 hrs. Lang po layover ko po sa japan po . This coming Sunday po.

Need pa po ba ng travel insurance?

[@zearaiza]

Hindi po ako hiningan sa check in and even sa Immigration pero bumili na rin ako just in case hingin. May friend ako na June 2022 ang byahe for 2wks, hindi naman kumuha ng insurance at hindi rin hiningan. Ang alam ko, hindi talaga requirement pero nasa inyo na po if you will take that risk na wala. Sa Pinas, pagdating sa Immigration eh mukhang walang hard core rules, pwedeng kung ano2x ang hingin, unfortunately :(
