    I've heard a lot of horror stories on the flight to Dumaguete. Is Phil Air now stopping there?

    I am sure that many people will tell you storys about flights they had and flights they heard about. I am flying Duma-Manila-Duma quite frequently and I had no Horror flight so far. Sometimes the take down is a bit harder, but I am still alive, and have no bruises from flying this route. I rather fly than taking a superferry, it's more likely that they catch fire and sink.

    If you have to fly to or from Duma, I recommend you the morning flights, they are a kind of in time...

    cheers

    hehe, but some are also more sensitive than others... As long i step uninjured out of the plane and did not throw up... I had flights which were rough and philippina screaming, but they scream if Tom gets beaten up by Jerry in the famous cartoon... hehe

    cheers

    If you overshoot DGTE airport, depending to the wind and what direction you have to fly in, you end up either on the north-highway, when you exit to your left, there is a girlie bar...

    The other direction, the runway ends and the ocean starts, so you can go diving right away...

    in other words, there is no way that planes overshoot the last 4 years, thats the time i am down here, and than I would know that...

    cheers

    reliable source


    DWY, im not a frequent flier maybe 6 times a year only, and perhaps i did grow up in dumaguete, as far as i know, i didn't hear any planes overshoot during landing nor takeoff. and landing on dgte airport is not as hard as Bacolod as what most captain would say.
