Angeles City in Pampanga lies north of Metro Manila, next to Clark International Airport. The drive follows the North Luzon Expressway, and Manila traffic is what decides the travel time. You can take a private transfer for door-to-door convenience, or an airport bus if you are going to the Clark area.
