We recently traveled via NAIA’s Terminal 2. T2 used to be for Philippine Airlines (PAL) only but recently Air Asia’s domestic flights have been reassigned to use T2 as well. Another airline, Royal Air, also now uses T2 for its domestic flights. Meanwhile, PAL’s international flights now use Terminal 1. Only recently did I notice that PAL now has the north wing of T2 for its domestic flights while Air Asia and Royal Air use the south wing. Previously, PAL’s international flights were on the north wing and domestic flights were at the south wing. Gone are immigration counters though customs equipment and still at the north wing arrival area near the baggage claim carousels.

The Terminal 2 North Wing was previously for PAL international flights only.

The north wing does not serve all of PAL’s domestic flights so it does not appear to be congested. Only flights to the major domestic destinations go through here such as those between Manila and Cebu, Davao, Iloilo, Bacolod or Cagayan De Oro. I seem to have heard a boarding call for PAL’s Caticlan bound flights at T2, too. 

The Duty Free Shops are still here but charge tax for those not qualified for duty free purchases.

There’s a Cafe France at the north wing. There are no other familiar brand cafe choices there.

At the south end of the North Wing is the smoking area and a connection to the South Wing pre-departure lounge. There is also a long desk for those who want to work while waiting for their flights.

I was not able to go to the South Wing and it would be interesting to see what is there and how the area is laid out (is there something different now that Air Asia and Royal Air uses the terminal?) I hope to get that chance soon so I can also take some photos that I can share here.
