Getting Around in Baguio, too!
By Airplane
There is one (1) daily 45- minute flight via Asian Spirit that leaves Manila at 9:45 a.m., and which will head back to Manila at 11:05 a.m.
This mode of transport can be unreliable during the rainy season as flights may be cancelled due to low visibility. However, airplane rides are still preferred by a lot of visitors, especially businessmen, who do not have the time or patience for land travel, as can be gleaned from fully-booked Baguio flights.
The Baguio airport is at Loakan Road, about 5km from the city center. It is called the Loakan Airport of course! Taxi cabs are waiting to pick up passengers right outside the terminal, so getting out should not be a problem.
By Bus
From Manila & Provinces South of Baguio:
Airconditioned trips to Baguio leave Manila every hour, seven (7) days a week. The popular buslines are Victory Liner, Dagupan Bus Line and Philippine Rabbit. One-way bus tickets to Baguio cost about Php350-390.
A De Luxe service is being offered by Victory Liner that guarantees a five-hour trip, not the usual seven. Php600 one-way. But you will have to buy your tickets ahead of time -- and in person -- in order to secure a seat.
From Baguio to Northern Provinces and the Cordilleras:
Farinas Transit plies the route to Vigan, Ilocos Sur and Laoag, Ilocos Norte.
Partas Transport Company has trips to Vigan and Laoag as well as to the provinces of La Union and Abra.
Lizardo Trans has several trips daily to the Mountain Province towns of Bontoc, Sagada & Besao, while KMS and Ohyami Trans travel to Ifugao province.
And you may ask, why should a 240km trip to Baguio City take 7 whole hours? Could it be because the buses stop TWICE for a meal and in every town to drop off or pick up new passengers?
