Dear Cobra Energy Drink Ironman 70.3 Participant,

Mabuhay!

As you are probably finalizing your travel arrangements to CamSur for our August race, we thought it would be best to give you some helpful information.

Due to Air Philippines Express decision to change Naga bound aircrafts to smaller planes, flights to Naga cannot accommodate bikes anymore. This is the same situation with Cebu Pacific. Naga bound flights land at Pili Airport - approximately 5 minutes from race site.

On the other hand, flights to Legaspi are able to take in bikes for both Philippine Airlines and Cebu Pacific. The Legaspi airport is 1 hour 30 minutes away from race site/ Villa del Rey and approximately 2 hours from other official hotels Avenue, Manor, Villa Caceres, Regent and CBD.

Flight Schedule:

Participants taking other airlines to Naga must check if the carriers are able to take in BIKES

Information about PALs provision on excess baggage allowance.

Registered participants of the Cobra IronMan 70.3 Triathlon taking Philippine Airlines shall enjoy additional free baggage allowance:

Additional ten (10) kilos excess baggage allwance roundtrip from/to regional routes/Manila viceversa and on Manila-Legaspi-Manila for participants with domestic connection via Legaspi.

Additonal one (1) piece roundtrip from/to PAL online destination in US and Canada (US-Vancouver/Manila) vice versa if participants would choose to go via Legaspi on Philippine Airlines on an immediate connection (provided both the international and domestic routes are in one ticket only then the additional 1 piece can be checked-thru. However, if travel will have a lay-over in Manila, only 10 kilograms additional excess baggage on Manila-Legaspi-Manila sector will apply).

Note: Passengers holding econoligt tickets shall not be entitiled to any additional excess baggage allowance.

Flight schedules are subject to changes. Please check airline websites.

For those who will choose the Legaspi Flights, we will have standby buses and trailers to accommodate you and your bikes for USD 30 round trip.
