When to fly
October stands out as the cheapest month on this connection, with fares also available in November, February, March, May, and June. If your schedule allows flexibility, booking mid-week rather than at weekend peaks tends to keep costs down. The rest of the calendar year shows fewer priced options, so planning ahead gives you more choice when travelling during those quieter periods.
Airlines and what to expect
Xiamen Airlines and China Eastern Airlines form part of a longer list that includes Qingdao Airlines, Shanghai Airlines, Air China, Yangtze River Express, Jeju Air, Juneyao Airlines, Shandong Airlines, and Homer Air. None offer non-stop service on this route, so every itinerary requires at least one change of plane. Some carriers bundle more into their base fare while others keep prices lower by charging separately for checked bags or seat selection.
Arriving — Manila
Touching down at Ninoy Aquino Intl means you are roughly an hour from central Manila depending on traffic conditions. Taxis and ride-hailing services run around the clock, though arriving late in the day can mean longer waits outside customs. Public buses also connect the airport to various districts if you prefer a budget option despite the journey taking more time.
