1 1/2 hour might be tight depending on time spent at check-in. Seemed like they kind of slow getting people thru to checkin lines. May be just right then.
Doing same day turn in MNL next week on UA. Arrive 9 am and depart at 1055 pm. Decided to get a hotel room for day to freshen up and have a base to walk around etc. hoping to get to hotel by 1030 am latest and leave back for airport at 845 pm.
Make sense or cutting it too close??
