Single terminal ≠ sterile domestic↔intl; Manila transfers are land journeys.

All CRK passenger flights use the New Terminal Building (Terminal 2). Domestic and international share landside halls and then split for security / immigration. Same-day domestic↔international connections re-clear CIQ unless your airline has already through-checked bags and issued the onward boarding pass under a valid connection product. Separate tickets need a wide buffer or an overnight in Clark / Angeles. For Manila connections, budget Genesis P2P / private transfer time (commonly 2–3 hours each way) on top of NAIA terminal chaos — never treat CRK↔MNL as a tight airside hop.

New Terminal 2 only since May 2022 — ignore old-terminal pins.

The Populous wave roof (Arayat / Pinatubo / Sierra Madre silhouette) makes the hall memorable, but gate banks and lounge levels are easy to mis-read. Marhaba is signed toward Gate 9 after immigration; Plaza Premium is Level 3 transit / pre-departure (L3-174). Check-in / pre-departure and arrivals reclaim are stacked in the same building — follow FIDS, not the decommissioned old-terminal mental map.

Landside value first; Marhaba beats Plaza for long sits when open.

Landside cafés and convenience retail before security are the best sealed- water and casual-meal value. Without lounge access, do not assume deep airside will match a Manila mega-hub food court. Marhaba markets an all-day buffet with showers and sleep pods (pods often paid on PP notes); Plaza Premium is the classic soft-room backup with a published midday closure bank; TGM & Root 98 is a Priority Pass Eat set menu next to Gate 9, not unlimited grazing.

Marhaba + Plaza Premium soft rooms; TGM Eat; verify PAGSS pins.

Live Priority Pass lists Marhaba (approx 07:30–02:30 split banks; max 3h; children under 5 free) and Plaza Premium (morning + afternoon/evening banks with a midday gap; max 2h; children under 2 free). TGM & Root 98 is a set-menu Eat experience near Gate 9 (08:00–02:00). PAGSS still brands Clark on its site — treat that as operator/partner branding and confirm the physical room against PP / Marhaba / Plaza Premium day-of rather than outdated “Terminal 1 / 13:00–20:30 PAGSS” aggregator copy.
