Travel blogs all over have been ranting about how all the Asian Spirit flights to Basco, Batanes are all fully booked for the summer, June being the next book-able date. Summer really is the best time to visit the northern isles and I will attest to that. (I visited Batanes during a very wet October.) I don’t know however if Batanes lends the same quiet and brooding mood during the sun and tourist-filled months.

To answer this shortage, Seair will begin flying the Manila-Basco route every Tuesdays and Saturdays (with return flights on the same days) starting April 8. Ticket sales will be handled by the Batanes Cultural Travel Agency (BCTA) which chartered the flights. Big time!

BCTA may be reached at their Makati office at (02)810-0988. They’re found online here.

I wonder how much a roundtrip flight would cost.

I found this Seair Advert (just click on it to zoom in) offering cheap packages. It’s cheap already considering how expensive Seair flights are to Caticlan especially during the summer months.

So if you have plans of going to Bora after the Holyweek I suggest you give them a call.

Sheesh. Bora.
