I thought the airport taxi mafia dun allow GRAB drivers to do pickup from inside the airport ranks?
They only allow GRAB to drop off but no pickups..... unless it is outside the airport gates.

If you want, I can look up some of the Blue taxi numbers posted elsewhere.
there's 200 blue taxis in AC, so far doing ok
Blue taxi is part of Airport taxi mafia group so no problems for them.
I think GRAB still have problem to pick up from inside airport. I took GRAB from ABC to Clark is no problem.... but the driver told me he cannot take booking from Clark airport to town as he don't have Airport permit.

My jetstar flight was rescheduled 3 times from 2:20 am, 7 am amd 10:30 am before they officially announced flight cancelled at 10:45 am today
Realised that they do not do refund for the starter to business fares and only offer replacement flight on days till the departure date of your old booking.
My stay is only 4 days 3 nights in AC and not worth it
Will give this trip a miss as it is better to be stranded in sg than in clark.
Lucky to get refund from Agoda on the hotel fees and will forgo the airfare for this trip.
Majority of the passengers are pinay going back for the long chinese new year break and one pinay guy told me he managed to get replacement flight at 10 pm today and he is on a 10 day leave from the singapore electronic factory.

Philippine Airlines, even the cheapest has rebooking option !!!
Anyway, Jetstar is cheaper
So far, volcano is spewing lava, but not explosion YET !!!

Airlines and aviation authority are not taking the risk, plane can still land using the automated landing system when there is poor visiblity due to the ash.
The concern is the ash particles can damage the plane and insurance not going to pay due to act of God.
I forgo the $200 airfare to live another day and manage to recover my hotel fees from Hotel Royal Amsterdam.

Actually in the past, they thought volcanic ash was not dangerous, until the BA flight that lost all 4 engines near Indonesia.

Clark is not affected but the aviation authority there suspended the airport operations.
All airports operating as of now.
Yesterday Batangas was on lockdown as some river suddenly ran dry and land started splitting in some places. And the authorities said it may blow up. or may blow up any time in the next few months !!!!
Nobody can predict the outcome.

FYI as well..
Wow, to SM Clark means closer to the main gate and can take the trke to fields avenue hotels.
Hopefully, trike fares have not increased too much from the P50 many years ago.
