Travel Requirements for Domestic Flights in the Philippines
Philippine Airlines – Cebu Pacific – Air Asia
Travel Requirements for domestic flights in the Philippines will vary on the airline and the local government unit or LGU of destination. As stated under the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) Resolution No. 101, all passengers will no longer be required to undergo COVID-19 testing except if the Local Government Unit (LGU) of destination shall require testing prior to travel. Testing for COVID-19 will be limited to RT-PCR tests. Passengers will no longer have to undergo quarantine unless an individual shows symptom upon arrival at the LGU of destination. Travel Authority issued by the Joint Task Force COVID Shield and Health Certificates will no longer be required. Nonetheless, there are still a few requirements that need to be taken note of.
Since local travels or domestic flights are allowed, there are a few general requirements everyone must comply. Wearing of face mask and face shield is important.
