Worst airport I've been to hands down and I've been to airports in developing countries so small there was hardly a takeoff strip.
Security took ever so long, boarding almost finished and the supervisor insisted everyone go through it diligently. Our flight left the gate 25 minutes late, waiting for passengers stuck at security. It was unpleasant experience. They don’t even have central air conditioning. Didn’t see any brands I knew like Starbucks or actual restaurants. Just pop-up shops with ramen. Bring cash as they only accept cash. Not in vain NAIA was chosen as the worst international airport in the world for several years in a row.
