Some quick info for 1st timer to AC.
1) on the plane have to fill up the arriving and departure white form.
2) on arriving, one can choose to leave the plane from 1 of the 2 exits(front and back) to the ground by the stairs. Then you have to walk around 5 min or so to the airport building as the plane are not park next to the building but a distance away.
3) like most airport, the immigration are divided into foreign and local passport. For my case I am lucky cause mostly are local on the plane I was.
4) immigration officer will return you the departure white form and yr passport.
5) when headed to the clearance zone, the officer there will take the departure form. So when you step out of the airport you just have your passport and no form.
6) $ rate at the airport is not as good as compare to the money-changers at field ave. So change your $ at the money-changers around your hotel area.
7) main transport is trike or jeepney. Trike cost more from 50p for short distance while around 100p while further away while jeepney cost only 10p. So if you want to go Lost in Asia or Back to school best to take a jeepney.
8) SML and LD varies in cost due to the place + HH. So do check with the waitress to be sure the price you be paying
9) 1 can choose to reject the waitress if they suggested that the gal like to have a 250p or 300p LD. Most time LD cost 150p unless they go for the bigger LD.
10) not sure is it a must, but its wise for you to leave 10p - 20p when the waitress returns to give you the changes after you pay the bill. for bro southaddress and I always leave 20p.
11) most gals there like to eat the green peas, so if you are kind enough you can either buy for them when the peanut vendors arrive or let the gals choose what they like. 1 small holder cost 20p.
12) when heading back, you will be issued a departure form "again" to fill in 11) then you can head and check-in 1st before you go and pay the airport tax.
13) after that can proceed directly to the immigration where they will collect the departure form.
14) then there will be 1 thorough check point, where everyone have to remove their belts, shoes, slippers etc etc.
15) another check by airline staff on yr passport. During my time it was split by 2 airline, SEAIR and Air Asia.
Happens to me not sure is it always happen
16) someone from the airport will approach you to do some survey
17) UNICEF personnel will also approach you too.
