Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours. Carrier service and weekly frequencies are summarized from our flight-schedule database, which draws on published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data, and observed operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI).

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Caticlan?",
        "answer": "Caticlan Airport (Godofredo P. Ramos Airport) is small and located just across from Boracay Island. The most common ground transport is a short tricycle ride to Caticlan Jetty Port (about 5-10 minutes), followed by a 15-20 minute ferry to Boracay. Taxis and vans are available for direct transfers to the port, and some hotels offer private van and speedboat packages. There are no ride‑share services or car rentals at the airport itself, and no mass transit. The tricycle‑plus‑ferry combination is the fastest and most used option for reaching Boracay’s main tourist areas.",

        "question": "How do I get to Francisco Bangoy Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Davao City, public jeepneys and buses serve routes to the airport area, while ride‑share apps like Grab and local taxis provide direct door‑to‑terminal service. Taxis and ride‑shares are the most popular and quickest option, typically taking 20–30 minutes depending on traffic. Driving yourself is possible with parking available at the terminal, though it can be less convenient during peak hours. Fares are modest, with ride‑shares and taxis costing more than jeepneys but still very affordable by international standards.",
