๐ข Terminal Information
Iloilo International Airport features a contemporary single terminal building that serves as the main gateway to the Western Visayas region, including popular island destinations like Boracay and Guimaras. The spacious terminal design ensures comfortable navigation with walking distances of 4-5 minutes from check-in to gates, though domestic departure areas can become crowded during peak holiday periods when Filipino families travel between islands. The airport offers modern amenities including duty-free shopping featuring local delicacies like buko pie and barquillos, several restaurants serving Ilonggo cuisine such as batchoy and kadyos beans, and comfortable seating areas with charging stations and free Wi-Fi throughout. Security processing is generally efficient for domestic flights, though international departures to Hong Kong and Singapore require additional immigration time. Ground transportation is well-organized with metered taxis to Iloilo City (30 minutes), jeepneys for budget travel, and direct van services to popular beach destinations including the Caticlan port for Boracay ferries (2 hours). The airport serves as a crucial hub for inter-island travel, connecting travelers to ferry terminals for Guimaras, Bacolod, and other Visayan destinations. During typhoon season (June-November), flights may experience delays or cancellations, so travelers should monitor weather conditions and consider flexible booking options. The terminal's strategic location makes it an ideal starting point for exploring both cultural attractions in Iloilo City and pristine beaches throughout the Western Visayas.

๐ข Terminal Information
Loakan Airport (BAG) serves Baguio City, famously known as the 'Summer Capital' of the Philippines, nestled in the Cordillera Central mountain range of Luzon. This regional airport is a crucial air link for the high-altitude city, primarily handling domestic flights that connect to Manila, often operated by Philippine Airlines. Due to its challenging location and operational constraints, including a relatively short runway and frequent fog, commercial service can be limited. The terminal building is a small, functional structure, providing essential services for the moderate volume of passengers.\n\nSecurity procedures at BAG are in line with Philippine aviation regulations. Passengers can expect efficient processing through security checkpoints, which include baggage screening and personal checks. Given the airport's size and flight volume, check-in and security processes are generally quick. Boarding is conducted by walking directly to the aircraft on the apron, as there are no jet bridges. Due to its high elevation and the mountain weather patterns, fog often rolls in during the afternoon, and turbulence can be experienced, leading to potential delays or cancellations. It is advisable to arrive with ample time for check-in and to reconfirm flight statuses, especially during the rainy season.\n\nAmenities within the terminal are limited but cater to basic needs. There is usually a small waiting area with seating and restrooms. Travelers might find a small kiosk offering beverages and light snacks, but extensive dining or retail options are not available. For ground transportation, taxis are typically available outside the terminal, providing convenient connections to Baguio City center. The airport serves as an efficient gateway for exploring the cooler climate and scenic beauty of the Cordillera region.
