Returning to Manila after our business in Zamboanga was completed, we rented a van to take us to the airport. I also took the opportunity to take more photos of the airport.

I think the sign should state “departing” instead of “departure”

The check-in counters have windows, which I found to be unusual as similar counters in other airports like Cebu, Davao and Iloilo are open.

Spacious check-in lobby of the terminal

Posted on the windows at the check-in counters are information on items to be declared and those prohibited or not allowed on carry-on (hand carried) luggage.

Here’s another sign pertaining to valuable, fragile and prohibited items for checked-in and carry on luggage

Ground floor pre-departure area

The airport has a relatively spacious pre-departure area considering the terminal is older than the likes of Iloilo, Bacolod/Silay, Puerto Princesa and Laguindingan.

At the back are wood and steel benches typical of what you might find in parks rather than in an airport terminal. Perhaps these were placed here to provide more seats to waiting passengers?

At the Second Floor are concessionaires selling food, drinks and souvenir items.
