My young adult daughter is on a holiday in the Philippines in late Nov/early Dec. She cannot afford to miss her overnight flight home from MNL-MEL (departing 9:30pm). Prior to departing Manilla, she will be on Busuanga Island, departing from USU (Francisco B. Reyes Airport).
She was originally planning to get a 4pm flight from USU-MNL, which sounds unwise to me, as it lands 5:30pm (giving them only 4h until MNL-MEL) - given my understanding that it's the tail-end of monsoon season and island travel, as well as getting between terminals in MNL. I've suggested the earlier (12:30pm) Philippines Airline flight, giving them a 7+ hour lay-over, but I'm wondering if would actually be safer for them to get back to MNL the night before they're departing or is this OTT?
I haven't been to the Philippines before, so appreciate any input.
