Cheap Flights to Philippines

At the moment, there are no non-stop flights from the UK to the Philippines, so your journey will include a stopover. These are the airlines that operate flights to the Philippines from the UK:

• China Eastern Airlines (via Shanghai)

• Philippine Airlines (one stop via partners)

• Emirates (via Dubai)

• Qatar Airways (via Doha)

• Cebu Pacific Air

• China Southern

• AirAsia (Philippines AirAsia)

• Singapore Airlines (via Singapore)

You cannot fly directly from the UK to the Philippines, and every journey will involve at least one stop along the way. Philippine Airlines used to run a non-stop service from London to Manila, but that route is no longer available.

You can still book one-stop flights through major hubs such as Dubai, Doha, Hong Kong, or Singapore. The total journey time will usually be between 16 and 20 hours, depending on the route and the time spent at your stopover airport.

A direct flight to the Philippines isn’t available with British Airways. If you book with them, your trip will include a stopover and part of your journey will be with one of their partner airlines. The most common routes go through Dubai, Doha, or sometimes a city in Japan.

You can still buy your ticket through British Airways, but you will change to another airline for the connecting flight. This can be useful if you collect loyalty points, as your bags will usually be checked through to your final destination.

The price of your flight from the UK to the Philippines will depend on when you travel and how early you book. The cheapest return fares for one-stop routes can be around £370 to £450 during off-peak times. Most return tickets cost between £500 and £750 for travel at other times of the year.

During peak periods such as summer holidays, fares can easily go over £900 or even £1,000. If you want to save money, try booking as far ahead as possible.

There are no direct flights from the UK to the Philippines, so your journey will always include at least one stopover. On average, one-stop London to Manila flights are 17 to 21 hours long.

Some routes are quicker if you have a short stopover, while others can take much longer if you have to wait several hours between flights. The most common connecting cities for flights from the UK to the Philippines include Dubai, Doha, Hong Kong, and Singapore.

If you are flying from Manchester to Manila, you will need at least one stop along the way. There are no non-stop flights on this route, and the most common connection is through Dubai with Emirates. This journey usually takes around 20 hours and 30 minutes (from departure in Manchester to arrival in Manila).

Yes, you can fly from Birmingham to the Philippines, but there are no direct services. Most flights from Birmingham to Manila connect through cities such as Dubai, Istanbul, Paris, or Jeddah. The total travel time is usually around 20 hours, although this can be longer (depending on the route and the length of the layover). So, be prepared!

When booking, you may find some routes that take more than a day to complete if the stopover is very long. To keep the trip manageable, it is worth choosing a flight with a shorter connection.

Most travellers prefer December to February, as the weather is cooler and comfortable for sightseeing. This is also the time when sea travel is easier, with calmer waters across most islands. Late March and April bring hotter temperatures, which can be great for beach lovers.

Flights and hotels in the Philippines are usually cheapest in September and October. These months are towards the end of the wet season, so there may still be some rain. Many popular attractions are quieter too, which can make your trip more relaxed.

July and December are the most expensive times to travel from the UK to the Philippines. July is the peak summer holiday season, with many families travelling abroad. December is almost as busy due to Christmas and the New Year. During these months, flights can be much higher than usual, and hotels often raise prices too.

If you need to travel in July or December, it is better to book as far ahead as possible, as last-minute tickets are often very expensive.

The best time to book your ticket is usually between 45 and 90 days before you fly. In our experience, around two to three months ahead gives you a good balance of choice and value. If you are planning to travel in a busy month like July or December, it is best to book earlier than this to get a fair price.

The UK FCDO advises taking extra care when travelling to the Philippines. Some areas are not considered safe, so avoid going there. Travel is not advised to western and central Mindanao or the Sulu Archipelago because of security risks. Most popular destinations, like Manila, Cebu, Palawan, and Boracay, are generally fine to visit if you stay alert and follow local advice.

UK passport holders can enter the Philippines without a visa for up to 30 days for tourism or short business trips. You need to show an onward or return ticket, and your passport must be valid for at least six months from your arrival date. If you want to stay longer than 30 days, you must apply for a visa or request an extension once in the country.
