๐ข Terminal Information
Ninoy Aquino International Airport operates four terminals requiring shuttle bus transfers for connections, each serving different airlines and routes. Terminal 1 primarily handles international flights for non-Philippine Airlines carriers, featuring older architecture with basic check-in facilities, traditional security screening, immigration processing with separate counters for Filipino citizens and foreigners, limited duty-free shopping, modest dining options, and minimal lounge facilities. Terminal 2 serves as Philippine Airlines' domestic hub with compact gates, streamlined domestic security procedures, and basic amenities focused on quick turnarounds for domestic flights. Terminal 3, the newest and most modern facility, serves as Philippine Airlines' primary international hub and handles most long-haul international flights, featuring spacious check-in halls with modern counters and self-service kiosks, advanced security screening with multiple lanes, comprehensive immigration facilities with e-gates and dedicated fast-track processing, extensive retail areas including duty-free shops and Filipino souvenir stores, diverse dining options from fast food to sit-down restaurants featuring local and international cuisine, multiple premium lounges including Philippine Airlines' Mabuhay Lounge and shared facilities, and enhanced passenger services including medical facilities, children's areas, and sleeping zones for extended layovers.

๐ข Terminal Information
Bacolod-Silay City International Airport (BCC) serves Bacolod City and the province of Negros Occidental in the Philippines. This modern regional international airport, opened in 2008, replaced the old Bacolod City Domestic Airport and serves as a vital gateway to the 'Sugar Capital of the Philippines.' The terminal building is a contemporary single-story structure, designed for efficient processing of both domestic and potential international passenger traffic. Its layout is straightforward, featuring a spacious check-in hall, a security screening area, and departure gates, all within easy walking distance.\n\nSecurity procedures at BCC are in line with Philippine aviation regulations. Passengers can expect efficient processing through security checkpoints, which include baggage screening and personal checks. While the airport has the infrastructure for international flights, operations are primarily domestic, connecting to Manila, Cebu, and other Philippine cities. Immigration and customs facilities are available for potential future or infrequent international services. Boarding is typically facilitated via jet bridges for larger aircraft, with smaller planes using apron boarding, providing protection from the tropical climate.\n\nAmenities within the terminal include a few cafes and snack bars offering a range of food and beverages, along with souvenir shops where travelers can purchase local delicacies and handicrafts. Free Wi-Fi is usually available. For ground transportation, taxis are readily available outside the terminal, and organized shuttle services provide convenient connections to Bacolod City and surrounding areas. The airport serves as an efficient and modern entry point for exploring Negros Island's rich history, culture, and economic activities.
