Boracay is in every Filipino's must visit list and a tight budget is always keeping many away from the destination.
So plan your trip early to save money or save money to start planning your trip. hmmm? Either way, just save up and go when it is cheapest. And you are so lucky because its off season!
So you're still calculating your travel expenses but still clueless of the various fees and taxes you might come by to get here? Lem'me help.
There are various ways to get to Boracay by plane (Kalibo and Caticlan). Kalibo is my favorite because it is relatively much cheaper than Caticlan. But some would prefer Caticlan over Kalibo because it is the fastest way to the island. SO it's really up to you.
Now, get your calculator and compute with me.
