Airlines have cautioned tourists headed to Boracay island to book their hotel rooms ahead of the destination’s reopening on October 26.
Cebu Pacific (CEB) reminded its passengers bound for Caticlan and Kalibo to show proof of confirmed hotel bookings because of a new government requirement for tourists to pre-book in a government-accredited hotel before flying to the island.
"We strongly advise guests to check if their chosen hotel or resort has been certified compliant and permitted to operate," the advisory added.
Philippine Airlines (PAL) also reminded its passengers about the "no booking, no entry" policy in Boracay.
The airline said there would be a verification booth at the Caticlan Airport and Kalibo International Airport for passengers bound for Boracay.
For those with bookings, their hotels and resorts must be compliant with the requirements of the Department of Tourism, Department of Environment and Natural Resources, and the Department of the Interior and Local Government.
CEB is set to resume its flights to Caticlan on October 26, while PAL will have its flights to and from Caticlan and Kalibo starting October 28.
International flights are expected to resume at Kalibo on the day Boracay officially reopens.
Kalibo-based Pan Pacific Airlines will resume its four daily flights from Kalibo to Incheon, South Korea, and a daily direct service from Kalibo to Busan.
Jin Air, a South Korean low-cost airline, will also resume daily flights between Kalibo and Incheon.
Juneyao Airlines, on the other hand, will resume its Shanghai Pudong-Kalibo flights on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
The 9 Air, a subsidiary of Juneyao Airlines, will operate three flights per week to Chengdu (Sichuan), Shouguang (Shandong) and Canton in China on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
Air Asia Zest, meanwhile, will resume its three daily flights to Incheon and four weekly flights to Busan (Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays), and a daily flight to Shanghai.
