Cheap flights from London to Mabalacat

February is the cheapest month on this route, and it sits in the middle of the window the price calendar covers, which runs from September through June. That means you can compare autumn, winter and spring departures on the same screen and watch how the fare moves as your dates get closer. Midweek departures and longer connections usually price lower than weekend ones, and the weeks around Christmas and New Year are the ones to book earliest, since both ends of the route travel heavily then. If your plans are open, start with February and work outwards from it.

The airlines that connect London and Mabalacat fall into two groups. Vueling Airlines is the low-cost name here, and its tickets tend to come without the extras, so check what your fare includes before you add a bag. The rest are full-service carriers: Lufthansa, British Airways, Emirates, Singapore Airlines, Austrian, ITA Airways, Aer Lingus, Air Dolomiti and Lufthansa City Airlines. Each routes you through its own hub, so the connection point, the total journey time and the number of stops differ from one ticket to the next, and a shorter first leg does not always mean a shorter trip overall.

Your flight lands at Clark International, the airport that serves Mabalacat and the surrounding part of the Philippines. It is a single airport for the area, so there is no choice to make on arrival, but the transfer into town is by road rather than a walk, and the usual options are taxis, ride-hailing apps and shuttle vans that also run on to Manila. Build in time after a long connection: immigration and baggage can take a while when a few long-haul arrivals land close together, and the roads slow down in the evening. Keep your onward address handy for the driver.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Decide which London airport you want before you search, since Heathrow, Gatwick, London City, Luton and Stansted all feed this route and the fare can differ between them.
• Check what your fare includes if you book a low-cost ticket, because a checked bag can change the total.
• Make sure both legs of the connection sit on one ticket, or you carry the risk if the first flight is late.
• Confirm your passport and entry requirements for the Philippines well before departure.
• Treat February as your benchmark month and compare it with the dates either side.
