Get Airport Transfer Sorted
There aren't a lot of taxis in Tacloban City hence, it would be worthwhile to sort out Airport Transfer ahead of time especially when travelling with luggage. The best way to get to our place is to book a cab from the airport. There are jeepneys that take you to and from the airport but might not be the most convenient way if you have suitcases with you.
