Classic Reward Connection in Manilla

[Cerveza]

Just booked a Classic Reward booking and not sure if I have made a mistake or not.

I've booked SYD-MNL (QA) and MNL-HND (JAL). There is 4 hours gap between these two flights however after booking the ticket, I realised it's 2 different terminals.

Do you think:

a) Will my bags be checked all the way through from SYD to HND?
b) I assume I will need to clear customs in T3 at Manila, travel to T1 and then check-in and go through immigration? Will I have enough time to do this or have will this be too difficult?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks this is very helpful.

Any idea if 4 hours would be enough for the transfer or am I risking too much?

I've no personal experience but came across this recent post:

Forced Landside Transit Manila international airport- Visa?

Flying QF 19 into Manila and then connecting to Qatar flight to Barcelona. Unfortunately, I have to clear customs get my bags and recheck in with Qatar as they don’t have a baggage inter- line agreement. Does anyone know if I need to apply for a Visa to do this?

If it’s a single ticket it will meet the minimum connecting time requirement at MNL. Meaning you should be able to make the connection at a comfortable pace.

But at worst case, you’ll be protected in the next flight anyway.
