Thank you for the information. It is probably correct that Boracay is only connected with Manila and unlike Phuket or some other destinations does not have multiple international connectivity.

On a related issue on researching I have found out that there are 2 airports in the proximity of Boracay.

1) Kalibo: This apparently is about a 90 min bus ride to Caticlan and then a 20 min ferry ride to Boracay

2) Caticlan which basically will save me the 90 min bus ride and related wait time.

Who ever I speak to basically says fly to Kalibo and take a bus and when I probe the reason they site a "small scary propeller plane". On checking websites it seems that this "small scary propeller plane" is either an ATR or Dornier 328. I have no issues with that especially if I am saving 2 hours on a journey.

Does anyone have feedback on this route ie

Manilla - Caticlan - Manilla?

And are the carriers flying this ok?

Flying end June so any help will be much appreciated.
