Cheap flights to Manila

Travelling to Manila, Philippines can be expensive but there are always cheap flights to Manila on offer at, pretty much, all times of the year.

Philippine airlines cheap flights to manilaAll the big name airlines go to Manila, but at the moment the only airline with direct flights from the UK to Manila is Philippine Airlines commonly known as PAL. Flight time is around 12 – 13 hours. You also have to take account of the time difference. It makes a great difference depending on whether you are flying east or west. When flying form London to Manila you will generally land in Manila approximately 20 hours (local time) after you left London.

Using any airline other than Philippine Airlines means that you will have to change somewhere on route to Manila. This can be in Europe, the middle east or the far east. Each of these three regions have their advantages and disadvantages when changing planes. So, it really is a matter of personal choice, or favourite airline or cost when booking cheap flights to Manila, Philippines.

When it comes to cost, there is a huge difference in airline ticket prices so do shop around for cheap flights to Manila. Business class fares can be astronomical on some airlines, but there are others which offer a realistic price with all the expected comforts.

Philippine Airlines do have special offers most of the time, so I would suggest they are your first port of call. It certainly is the quickest travel time and therefore the best value around.

Since September 2017, there have been daily direct flights from London to Manila on Philippine Airlines.
