Angeles by plane
Angeles is served by the Diosdado Macapagal International Airport (DMIA) in Clark Freeport Zone, approximately 5 kilometers from the city proper. It has adequate travel facilities such as currency exchange, duty free shopping center, souvenir shops, free wireless internet, a tourist information center, hotel and travel agency representatives, and car rental services. The airport is where budget airlines like Air Asia (from Kuala Lumpur and Kota Kinabalu), Tiger Airways (from Singapore and Macau) and Cebu Pacific (from Singapore and Bangkok) fly to. It also receives direct flights from Hong Kong and South Korea from carriers such as Asiana Airlines, Cebu Pacific, and Tiger Airways. Domestic flights are offered by Cebu Pacific and South East Asian Airlines.
Because DMIA is a small airport, containing only one terminal, it is often considered a more efficient gateway into the Philippines than through heavily-congested Manila. The roadways around the airport are fairly rural, making transport between the airport and the city quick and hassle-free. Don't worry about finding transport as taxi drivers will heavily solicit you for patronage as you exit the airport.
However, the taxi fares are relatively steep compared to other modes of transporation. for example, the fare from the airport to Fields will cost P500 for just a 15 minute ride. If alone, it is best to find a fellow traveler to share a taxi or use the shuttle service.
When going back to the airport from the Fields Ave during the daytime, jeepneys parked near the Clark AFB entrance are also an option. They're often not going to the airport itself, and normally wait until the jeepney is full - but by paying the higher price (P200 if you charter an empty one, less if you just want the driver to make a short detour to the airport) these inconveniences are resolved easily and cheaper than by hiring a taxi.
To get to the airport from Dau Bus Terminal the "cheap way": take a jeepney to "main gate" (P8). At "main gate" ask for the jeepneys to the airport. These drop you at the entrance of the airport parking (P12). You must then walk less than 5 minutes to the terminal building. Count 15-30 minutes in total.
At maingate, some jeepney drivers will also offer to bring you to the terminal building for about P250, just insist that you want to go the cheap way.
I am pretty sure that there are jeepneys from angeles (Fields Ave) to dau main gate (to be confirmed)
Beware that there is a P600 fee when leaving from this airport
