GUM-MNL-GUM same day 2hr turn around possible?
I booked a RT ticket YYZ-HNL-GUM-MNL to experience the UA154 island hopper. It was only $760 all in for next feb.
I plan to backtrack to SPN and/or ROR via GUM on a separate ticket for about $600, then use MNL as base for BWM or RGN. I know CI is much cheaper for MNL-ROR usually, but the return flight is blocked for Chinese new year...
I think the same aircraft flies GUM-MNL-GUM, landing at 6pm and out 9pm. Is it possible to turn around at MNL without going through immigration and getting BP in advance?
I have global entry and no checked luggage. (I wonder if GE kiosk will flag me
)

And for the record, I'd highly recommend a few days in ROR: http://www.dansdeals.com/archives/69753

It seems UA.com only shows GUM-ROR-MNL flight if try multi-city and book one way flight. GUM-MNL via ROR is showing up as one flight with 50 min stop in ROR. Will I get two separate boarding passes? Do you recall people deplane and re-board, or must stay on board?
I guess I could fly on miles...but one of the reason i am doing this is for a cheap mileage run for corp status match with UA. dilemma...

You'll be able to deplane in ROR.
The issue you may have is if the hopper is delayed and they move you to the nonstop MNL flight.
