Cheap flights to Manila
Cheap flights to Manila bring you into the capital of the Philippines, the country's main gateway for business trips, family visits and island holidays. Arrivals land at Ninoy Aquino International Airport, with carriers such as Etihad Airways, China Eastern Airlines, China Southern Airlines, Air China, Scoot and AirAsia X linking the city to hubs across Asia and the Gulf. Demand is heaviest around the holidays and through the dry season, so book early when your dates are fixed.
Flights to Manila — where from
Airports — Manila
Every arrival lands at Ninoy Aquino International Airport, the airport that serves the capital. From the terminals, metered taxis and ride-hailing cars are the usual way into Makati, Ermita and the bayside hotel strip, while airport shuttle buses run to a handful of city points. Allow extra time on weekdays, when traffic into the centre is at its heaviest.
When to go
Manila has two seasons: a dry stretch that suits sightseeing and a wet one that brings heavy afternoon downpours. Flights fill fastest around the Christmas and New Year holidays, when families and overseas workers travel home, and again when school breaks begin. If your dates are flexible, the quieter weeks between the two seasons often mean calmer planes and easier hotel choice.
