Parking at Park N Fly

We used to park our car at Park N Fly before but for convenience, we went back to NAIA parking kasi literal na magpark and fly ka na lang. Unlike in Park N fly na maghintay pa kami ng airport shuttle.

But last month, NAIA announced the new parking rates, from PHP300 to PHP1,200 for overnight rates. Waah! That is so expensive so nastress ako bigla because we will be flying to Melbourne, Australia. We live outside Metro Manila so mahirap magcommute.

I was contemplating kung saan ba kami makakamura because NAIA parking is no longer an option. My choices are:

1. Rent a van

2. Take Ube Express P2P Bus

3. Park N Fly

But my husband chose the Park N fly so nagbabalik loob na kami sa Park N Fly. My husband immediately made a reservation online. 50% downpayment to reserve a slot.

Note:

Park ‘N Fly has a minimum rate of ₱595 (VAT Inclusive) for the first 24 hours, and then a rate of ₱24.79 (VAT Inclusive) for each hour after that. For the purpose of rate calculations, a fraction of an hour is considered to be a full hour. Parking rates are subject to change without prior notice.
Park ‘N Fly offers a 5% discount for customers who avail of parking for 7 days or more, and a 10% discount for customers who avail of parking for 30 days or more.
Park ‘N Fly Free Shuttle Service provides free transportation from Park ‘N Fly to, from, and between the four (4) airport terminals.
Customers should allot at least 30 minutes on top of their regular schedules when checking into Park ‘N Fly.

During our trip, we left early because we knew that there was an additional 30-minute to 1-hour waiting time at the Park N Fly. Based on our experience, from the time we arrived, we waited for 40 minutes for the airport shuttle service.

Park N Fly has new building na pala, doon kami pinapunta ng guard. The office is much bigger and may Convenience Store & Pasalubong Center.

They also offer “Complete vehicle maintenance and repairs, including detailing/cleaning packages available”. My husband availed the car wash kaya shining and shimmering ang sasakyan namin pag-uwi.

Upon arrival, after claiming our luggage my husband called Park N Fly Shuttle Service to pick us up at Bay 6 - NAIA Terminal 1. I think we waited for 30 minutes before the airport shuttle service arrived.

Beach Huts Layered Craft

I’m back. After almost two weeks of no blog post because of Typhoon Kristine, we experienced a blackout and just returned from our Melbourne Australia Trip. Now, I’m back to reality and still struggling with the timezone difference. Antok na antok na ko, 5PM pa lang kasi ang aga ko din nagigising.

Anyway, last week we visited Brighton Beach, one of Melbourne's iconic beaches. We don’t have a plan to swim because it is Spring Season but I still included the beach on our itinerary. We visited Bondi Beach when we went to Sydney Australia so I want to see the beaches in Melbourne too.

I love to see the famous 82 vibrant and colorful bathing boxes. The bathing boxes were initially built for the privacy of women so they could change their clothes without problem but now it is used to store beach equipment and accessories or for family get-togethers.

The size is smaller than a standard car park but the price is around $450,000. It is the price of one bathing box that was sold in 2023. It is so expensive and only local Bayside residents can purchase these bathing boxes. It is considered a lifestyle investment for rich people so for an ordinary person like me, icraft na lang for souvenir.

I made these Beach Huts Layered Craft before our trip and I was happy because the color and look are quite similar. I used the following SVG files. 3D Nautical Bundle and Beach Huts Shadow Box.
