AIRLINE TRAVEL & AIRPORTS: Manila to Palau, Micronesia
By admin ~ October 6th, 2008. Filed under: Manila Travel.
Here’s a vid of my trip to Palau, Micronesia on board a Continental Airlines flight.
This was during the SARS outbreak in 2003 that spread panic throughout Southeast Asia, which led to the sudden decline of air travel in the region. Obviously, I was undeterred!
It’s an old vid, taken with a video camcorder and was digitally converted to WMV. There’s a delay in the sounds so just bear with it.
FEATURES:
-Clips from NAIA
-Take off from NAIA on mid day
-Continental’s B737 pit and cabin
-Some Philippine islands seen from the air
-Palau’s reefs and atolls seen on approach
-Palau Internatioal Airport
Duration : 0:9:59

I have the Part 2 of the Tokyo-Chocago/NYC, and another trip on a Los Angeles-Manila flight, and hopefully this year’s trip would be on an A330 from Tokyo to Bangkok. I’ve saved up on some award tickets.

You mean kung nagland kami tapos nagso-snow? Di pa. Mahirap kasi magtravel lalo na pag winter, madalas may delay. Sa Los Angeles nagland ako winter time, kaso di naman nagso-snow sa California. Sa Chicago naman, di naman nagsnow until dumating ako sa house ng tita ko from the airport. Light snowfall lang, parang dadnruff, haha! Yun na pala yung snow, hahaha!
Pero if you’re travelling by plane sa specially sa winter season, makikita mo sa labas ng window na may mga patterns na parang cracks.

Thanks, for the video. Have you seen the runway on Saba Island in the Caribbean? It has cliffs at both ends! There is also a Chinese pilot that overshot the runway - the wheels hit the dirt at lift off. Search “Saba landings”
