Private Jet Thunder Bay to Palawan

Thunder Bay to Palawan covers roughly 7,013 nautical miles, a distance requiring a Gulfstream G650ER or Bombardier Global 7500, cruising near 45,000 feet for a journey of about thirteen and a quarter hours. Thunder Bay International Airport, on the shores of Lake Superior in northern Ontario, handles the departure, from which passengers typically connect via a major hub given the length of the onward sector. Arrival into Puerto Princesa International Airport brings travellers to Palawan’s eastern coast, gateway to a province the Philippine tourism authority has consistently promoted as its flagship destination for nature and adventure travel. The city of Puerto Princesa sits beside its principal attraction, the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where an underground waterway threads through limestone caverns for several kilometres, its chambers navigated by small boat under lamplight. Travellers with time to spare typically continue north to El Nido, where the Bacuit archipelago’s dramatic karst islands enclose secluded lagoons, or to Coron, internationally known for wreck diving among sunken WWII vessels and for freshwater lakes of remarkable clarity. Palawan’s extensive forest cover, among the most intact remaining in the country, also shelters wildlife found nowhere else, including the Palawan peacock-pheasant and the Palawan bearcat. Coming from the shores of Lake Superior, with its vast freshwater expanse and boreal forest, arriving passengers encounter a completely different kind of water and greenery, warm, saline, and fringed by coral rather than cold and forested. Given the length of the crossing, this route generally suits travellers planning an extended Southeast Asian stay rather than a short visit, arriving to scenery entirely unlike northern Ontario.
