Eto na naman tayo sa yearly sunduan sa airport.

With the NAIA expressway still under construction, mas lalo bang naging traffic now sa mga roads around the airport compared last year?

[boybi]

Terminal 3 naman this time.

Mas lumuwag ngayon airport area compared before apec.

It varies.

There are times na sobrang heavy ng traffic, there are times na moderate.

Last week I brought my sister and bro in law to the airport and the Airport Road literally was a parking lot. Not sure up to where since we took Aurora blvd. Upon reaching the rotunda towards Domestic Road, it was a gridlock since the T3 bound vehicles that came from Quirino blocked the rotunda.

My bro-in-law, fearing that they will not make it to their US bound flight since we've been stuck in the same place for 20 mins already, 2 hrs to go, even if it was raining, he went out of our vehicle and directed traffic since the one managing the traffic was of no use.

We got to T2 from that rotunda in 10 mins.

I couldn't imagine the the feeling of those travelers going to T3.

Parusa na ang pumunta sa airport ngayon regardless of what terminal. From QC, mahina ang 3 hrs 1 way lalo pag rush hr, ung mga 4 up to 9 pm.

If I'll be at Balintawak by 9am, what time will I be in T3 if I take EDSA?

[Horsepower]

Hard to say with the unusually super horrible heavy traffic we now have here.

My bet is about 2-3hrs. It's past rush hour so it could be faster - but don't count on it.

I got my parents yesterday. We planned to go 1hr before arrival coming from edsa crossing. At 9am it was freely flowing. We ended up eating at mcdonalds(dine-in) right after the pagcor-casino to try the new mcgriddles. Hot choco isnt the same lol. We were late 2minutes lng. We were late kase priority pala parents hehehe. They got their bagage early coz of priority status. Family hugs were good 😊

Last Sunday I brought my mom from QC to T3. Left at 7AM from Timog and arrived at T3 via EDSA by 8AM. Yung return trip ang ma traffic, ironically.

2-3 hours ang estimate ko kung Balintawak to T3

[boybi]

So EDSA pa rin ang daan from Balintawak. Will I reach T3 by 11:00 if I'm in Balintawak at 9AM?

[anonemus]

Why not use Waze?

According to Waze, if I leave Balintawak now (11am+), I'll be at T3 in 1hr + via EDSA.

I'd add an hour to this estimate.



Needless to say, you'll get different estimates at different times of the day.

Personally these days, I'd leave as early as I can to reach the airport by 11am just to be safe

Wala masyadong traffic going to T3. Pero sa NLEX northbound, grabe na ang haba ng traffic.
