Key facts
Daylight in Baguio runs from about 11 h 11 min a day in late December to 13 h 9 min in late June (computed for 16.42° latitude), which matters more than the forecast when a day is built around one flight or one crossing.
Getting there
No airport with scheduled passenger service sits within 100 km of Baguio in the OurAirports register, so flying in means a longer transfer from the nearest served city.
