As of December 2021, the three major airlines operating directly to Coron were Philippine Airlines, Sunlight Air and Cebu Pacific Air. We chose the latter one: Cebu Pacific Air. 

» Travel Requirements «

Here are the requirements (as of December 18, 2021) that we prepared prior to our trip:

• Approved S-Pass Application - What I love about booking Bacau Bay Resort Coron, they followed-up and assisted about our S-Pass application status. Not all accommodation will do this, right?
• Valid Government ID
• Vaccination Card / VaxCert
• Confirmed DOT registered hotel booking
• Roundtrip Tickets 
• Travel Insurance - not required but just in case we might need it
• QR-coded Negative RT-PCR Test - valid within 72 hours (as of April 2022, it's not needed as long as you're fully-vaccinated)
