- Since Boracay is one of the top tourist attractions in the Philippines, booking a flight is easy. Cebu Pacific, Air Asia, and Philippine Airlines have their daily trips to Kalibo Airport or Caticlan (Boracay) Airport.
- Flights to Kalibo are cheaper, but you need to take another ride via Van or Taxi to Jetty Port. Travel Time is about 2 hours. Then, a ferry to Boracay. I've done this during my solo backpacking.
- On the other hand, direct flights to Boracay are expensive, but it's a 10-minute tricycle and a 15-minute ferry ride.
