The main international gateways from the U.S. are Manila Ninoy Aquino International Airport for onward connections and Cebu Mactan International Airport for central and southern Philippines. From Basco, you would fly domestically to Manila or Clark. Clark International Airport is another option with fewer long-haul flights but easier access to northern Luzon. For resorts, Cebu and Puerto Princesa serve as hubs for beach destinations. There are no trains for onward travel; ferries and domestic flights are the primary connections."
