Flights

AIR

The fastest way to get to Batanes from Manila is by plane. Peak Season is from April – June so be sure to get your tickets months before your scheduled trip to Batanes. And it will start again from October – February.

Another option is by flying from Manila to Tuguegarao via Philippine Airlines or Cebu Pacific. From there, board an eight-seater Islander aircraft of Chemtrad Aviation or Batanes Airlines that operate chartered flights from Tuguegarao.
