Here are driving directions from different parts of Metro Manila including nearby provinces to Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 or simply known as NAIA-3.

How to get to NAIA-3 by car

Route #1

From Caloocan, Monumento, Malabon, Navotas, Pampanga, Bulacan, Tarlac and other Northern Luzon provinces.

From the provinces mentioned, take the NLEX. From NLEX take EDSA's south bound lane or the lane going to Makati, Cubao and Pasay. Pass under the EDSA Balintawak/Cloverleaf Bridge, change lane to the right and as soon as you past the bridge, turn right onto the dedicated lane going to EDSA's south bound lane. From Caloocan, Malabon, and Navotas, take EDSA.

After Ayala Tunnel is EDSA-Magallanes Interchange. Choose the lane with "Alabang SLEX" road sign. It's the flyover to the right of Magallanes Bridge. This is the direction and route from EDSA to NAIA-3.

In the flyover, choose the lane with "Alabang SLEX" road sign above it which is to your left. So, as soon as you get onto the flyover stay to the left because a lane going to Manila with road sign that reads "Manila" will occur at flyover. And you must avoid getting onto that lane.

After you pass through the Magallanes Interchange flyover going to SLEX, you will have 2 options.

Option 1 - via Skyway. Drive to the right of SLEX and watch out for the entry ramp of Skyway where you will pass through. Take the Skyway but slow down a little bit because up ahead is "NAIA-3" exit.
