About flights to Philippines
Overview
The Philippines is an archipelago of more than 7,000 islands, drawing UK travellers with white-sand beaches, world-class diving and warm, English-speaking hospitality. Many also fly out to visit the large Filipino community's families. From bustling Manila to the beaches of Palawan and Boracay, comparing fares in one place makes planning simpler.
Best time to fly to the Philippines
The dry season from December to April/May is the most popular, with sunshine ideal for island-hopping. The June–November wet season brings heavier rain and the occasional typhoon, but also lower prices. Fares climb around Christmas and Easter, so travelling in quieter weeks stretches your budget. Check the price charts on this page for the cheapest dates.
Main gateway cities & airports
The main gateway is Manila (MNL), with Cebu (CEB), Clark (CRK) and Davao (DVO) also serving travellers across the islands.
Airlines and routes
Philippine Airlines flies direct from London to Manila in around 14 hours. For connecting options — often better value — Qatar Airways, Emirates, Etihad Airways, Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific and Turkish Airlines all serve the Philippines via their hubs. Comparing carriers for your exact dates is the surest way to secure the lowest fare.
Popular places to visit in the Philippines
- Palawan (El Nido & Coron): lagoons, limestone karsts and diving.
- Boracay: famous white-sand beaches and clear water.
- Cebu & Bohol: whale sharks, waterfalls and the Chocolate Hills.
- Banaue & Batad: spectacular ancient rice terraces.
- Manila: historic Intramuros and lively city life.
Top tips for finding cheap flights to the Philippines
- Book a few months ahead for the December–April dry season.
- Avoid the Christmas and Easter peaks for lower fares.
- Compare direct flights against one-stop routes via the Gulf or Asia.
- Be flexible with your dates — midweek departures are often cheaper.
Travel essentials
- Visa: UK travellers can usually enter the Philippines visa-free for up to 30 days as tourists.
- Currency: the Philippine peso (PHP).
Baggage & hand-luggage allowance for flights to Philippines
Your allowance to Philippines depends on the airline and the fare you book. The table below shows typical long-haul allowances so you know roughly what to expect — always confirm the exact limits with your airline before you fly.
| Fare type | Hand baggage | Checked baggage |
|---|---|---|
| Basic / Light economy | 1 small under-seat bag | Usually none — add for a fee |
| Standard economy | 1 cabin bag + 1 personal item | Typically 1 × 23 kg |
| Premium economy | 1–2 cabin bags + personal item | Typically 2 × 23 kg |
| Business / First | 2 cabin bags + personal item | Typically 2 × 32 kg |
Indicative only. Allowances vary by airline, route and fare — always check your airline's baggage policy.
Packing & baggage tips
- Full-service carriers (e.g. British Airways, Turkish Airlines, KLM) usually include a checked bag on long-haul economy fares; basic/low-cost fares often don't.
- Cabin (hand) bag size is commonly around 56 × 45 × 25 cm — confirm your airline's limit before you pack.
- Liquids in hand luggage must be in containers of 100 ml or less, inside one clear resealable bag.
- Weigh your bags at home — airport excess-baggage fees are far higher than pre-booked allowances.
- Extra or heavier bags are almost always cheaper added online in advance than at the airport.
