How long is the flight to Iloilo City?

On average, a flight from Auckland to Iloilo City takes 22 hours 15 minutes. Flights to Iloilo City from other popular cities in New Zealand will vary in length. Below are a few examples of popular routes and their flight times.

Most flights from New Zealand to Iloilo will involve at least two stops, the first in Sydney and the second in Manila. This is true for flights from Auckland and Wellington. The final leg of your flight is usually operated by Philippine Airlines. They generally partner with either Qantas or Air New Zealand for the first sections of the route. Flights from other cities in New Zealand will usually involve a self-transfer. When choosing your flights, bear in mind that you may need to transfer from the international terminal to the domestic terminal at Manila Airport, so make sure your layover is long enough.

If you're travelling to Iloilo from New Zealand, it's worth checking to see if flights arriving at Bacolod–Silay International Airport (BCD) are cheaper or more convenient. Bacolod is on the other side of the Guimaras Strait, and the ferry from Bacolod to Iloilo takes roughly an hour. Flights to Bacolod generally also involve at least two stops, and they are most often operated by Air New Zealand and Philippine Airlines.

If you're travelling on a New Zealand passport, you don't need to organise a visa if you'll be staying in the Philippines for 30 days or less. New Zealand citizens are permitted visa-free entry to the country. You will need to ensure that you have a passport that is valid for at least six months beyond the period you'll be staying in the Philippines. If you aren't from a country that is allowed visa-free entry, you'll need to apply for a visa before you depart for Iloilo. This can usually be done via the Philippine Online Visa Application System.

  • What should I pack for a flight to Iloilo?

    What you should pack for Iloilo will depend mostly on whether you're visiting during the rainy season or the dry season. During the rainy season, waterproof shoes, an umbrella and a rain jacket will be essential. Lightweight rain ponchos that fold up to fit into your bag are particularly useful. Bug repellant is important year-round but especially so during the rainy season, and sunscreen is also essential year-round. Waterproof bags, including one just for your phone, will also be useful, especially if you plan on hiking or doing any activities where you won't want to use an umbrella.

  • What are some things to do in Iloilo?

    Iloilo is home to a number of beautiful churches, including the Molo Church (an official national landmark), known for its white coral rock walls and the statues of Greek gods and goddesses in the plaza in front of it. The Jaro Cathedral is the oldest church in the city of Iloilo. It's close to the Jaro Plaza, which hosts a regular plant market. In the evenings, head to Smallville for the best nightlife Iloilo City has to offer. You'll find plenty of restaurants, bars and clubs. Many people will also head from Iloilo City to the Islas de Gigantes, an island chain in the northern part of the Iloilo province. Here you can visit white-sand beaches and hotspots like the Tangke Saltwater Lagoon or the North Gigantes Island Lighthouse.

  • Can I take public transportation from Iloilo International Airport (ILO) to Iloilo?

    There are multicabs (small trucks) that follow set routes from Iloilo Airport to the city. These cabs will follow different routes from the airport and will only depart once full, so you may have to wait. Alternatively, you can pay the fare for the remaining seats to get them to depart. However, these are generally the cheaper options. A more expensive option is the UV Express Shuttle. The main drop-off point is SM City Iloilo; however, you can request a drop-off at Jaro Plaza. Like the multicabs, the shuttle departs once full, but it is usually the most popular option, so you likely won't need to wait too long.
