Carpool from Clark International Airport to Baguio City
Clark is north of Metro Manila, so flying into Clark skips Manila traffic entirely on the way up to Baguio.

What to know about this route
Meet a Manila ride at Dau
Clark has far fewer flights than NAIA, so fewer people start their trip at the airport. Manila–Baguio rides often pass Dau Exit, a short trip from the terminal. Meeting one there can be easier than waiting for a ride that leaves from Clark itself.
Agree what happens if your flight is late
This site does not track flights. Decide with the driver how long they can wait and what happens if your flight is delayed, before you book.
Ask which climb the driver will take
Marcos Highway is the usual way up. Kennon Road is sometimes closed after landslides or bad weather. Mention it if anyone gets carsick on steep climbs.
Pack something warm on top
Baguio is much colder than Pampanga, especially at night. Keep a jacket where you can reach it, not at the bottom of a checked bag.
