How far in advance should I book a flight from the United Kingdom to the Philippines?

  • Are there cheaper flights to the Philippines due to more stopovers?

    It's certainly easier to find cheap flights to the Philippines if you look for those that make more stopovers than others. For example, you can choose the three-stop flight from Manchester Airport (MAN) on Ethiopian Air. You'll switch planes at Geneva Cointrin Airport (GVA), Addis Ababa Bole Airport (ADD) and finally at Hong Kong International (HKG). The Emirates flight from London Gatwick via Dubai International is another cost-saver.

  • Which other airports can I use to catch flights to the Philippines?

    Besides those already mentioned, you can also get cheaper flights to the Philippines from Newcastle Airport (NCL) and Birmingham Airport (BHX) on Emirates. If you're flying from Glasgow Airport (GLA) or Belfast City Airport (BHD), the cheapest option is the joint flight with British Airways and Cathay Pacific. The other London airports, Stansted (STN), London City (LCY) and London Luton (LTN), also offer plenty of flights to the Philippines.

  • How does KAYAK find such low prices on flights from the United Kingdom to the Philippines?

    KAYAK is a travel search engine. That means we look across the web to find the best prices we can find for our users. With over 2 billion flight queries processed yearly, we are able to display a variety of prices and options on flights from the United Kingdom to the Philippines.

    Hacker Fares allow you to combine one-way tickets in order to save you money over a traditional return ticket. You could then fly from the United Kingdom to the Philippines with an airline and back with another airline.

  • What is KAYAK's "flexible dates" feature and why should I care when looking for a flight from the United Kingdom to the Philippines?

Top tips for finding cheap flights to the Philippines

  • Enter your preferred departure airport and travel dates into the search form above to unlock the latest Philippines flight deals.
  • The Philippines has a number of international airports that serve as hubs for onward connections to other islands. The main hub is Manila Ninoy Aquino International Airport (MNL) and from here you can explore the northern islands. Mactan-Cebu International Airport (CEB) is in the centre of the Philippines, which provides good connections for north and south, while Davao International Airport (DVO) in the south is a hub to fly into if you would like to explore the south of the country.
  • Visitors wanting to spend time at the beach or do some diving in the Philippines should consider flying from UK to Cebu, which is located in the centre of the archipelago and will give you access to various beach destinations, such as Mactan Island, where Cebu airport is situated, and Pangloa – a small island just a ferry ride or a short plane hop away from Cebu.
  • If you are looking at flights to Philippines so you can visit Puerto Princesa Subterranean River located on Palawan, you should consider flying to Manila Ninoy Aquino International Airport and then booking an onward flight to Puerto Princesa International Airport (PPS). The flight takes around 1h 25min and the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River is approximately a 46 mi drive from the airport.
  • British passport holders are able to enter the Philippines for 30 days without a visa. For those staying as a visitor for longer than 30 days and up to 59 days, you will need to organise a visa from the Philippine Embassy. Your passport should be valid for the duration of the time you intend to spend in the Philippines.
  • Local currency can be purchased at foreign exchange counters in airports, hotels and some banks using cash in Pounds Sterling or US Dollars. Traveller’s cheques are rarely accepted and sometimes ATMs will accept international debit or credit cards. It should be noted that as you can only bring up to 50,000 PHP (approximately 736 GBP) into the Philippines in cash, you should arrange to buy your currency when you arrive at the airport.
  • You can find cheap flights to the Philippines by using the filters on KAYAK. You can choose your departure airport and easily find the lower cost flights from there to the Philippines. You can then choose the most cost-effective airline on this route.
  • When you find cheap flights to the Philippines, consider hiring a car at the same time, so that you'll have the freedom to explore on your own, without having to rely on public transport locations and schedules. It's also likely to be more cost-effective than taking taxis, particularly to and from minor cities.
  • If you're looking for budget flights to the Philippines, Wizz Air is the best choice, leaving from a number of British airports. A good bet is the one that leaves from London Gatwick (LGW) bound for Manila Airport. You'll stop at Budapest Ferenc Liszt International (BUD) and then Dubai International (DBX), where you'll switch to Cebu Pacific.

The journey was nice, all the crews were very good and services are excellent

in today's time, an airline like emirates didnt serve drinks as requested, Excuse was full flight.

Great flight - Clubhouse met our needs, and the staff provided good service. Boarding felt a little chaotic, but given the size of the aircraft, it's always going to be challenging. Whilst the crew were friendly, the number of passengers meant that we received our breakfast items, but had finished breakfast before we were served a drink. Lunch was much better organised, and throughout the flight, the crew were attentive. Found the seats and ICE to be excellent. Disembarkation was fine, and everything possible to expedite the process was being done.

No kids provided. Instead we were told to have contacted the airline that we have kids and require kids meals. We were not the only ones who inquired about kids meals. It’s odd. Emirates and other airlines give kids meals as standard and before the adult food comes out. The rice in our meals was gluggy and under cooked. The chicken was also raw. Sadly not the best experience with Finn Air. The hostesses tried to compensate with the snacks and drinks but missed the mark by a long way. Especially when paying Emirates/Qantas prices

the seat is quite narrow compared to others. entertainment and food were very good

We loved flying with Emirates in business class, the staff were fabulous, going above & beyond

The seating is spaced out nicely, The crew could have offer more drinks.

Premium Economy is not worth the extra money you pay. You are neither economy nor business. The seat doesn’t recline enough to relax your legs. Maneuvering while seated is cumbersome. Don’t recommend Premium Economy at all.

Food no so good. Extra charge to much for front seats cost me £163 then other people sat near me for nothing 🤬

It was great, a little more leg room would have been better particularly since we were in premium economy

Food was served to different people at different times and it wasn't clear why. The crew apologized for the wait. But it felt odd and inconsistent. They could use charging ports on each of the seats. Mine didn't have any. Also, they could've offered more snacks. It was a 12+ hour flight and no snacks were ever offered. Everything else was OK.

Pleasant business class flight experience with good onboarding experience. Flight service team was excellent with usual book-the-chef menu available

SQ service is great as always. However, the food quality seems to have gotten a lot worse recently.

The consistency with Singapore Airlines is fantastic. Crew are always brilliant and food delicious in business class

Wish the underseat compartment don’t have a restriction, can fit a personal item such as backpack fully like most Boeing

Best service airline. The cabin crew is attentive and friendly. Inflight entertainment system is good

I was in a middle seat where I felt a bit too cramped otherwise the trip was good

Airline should consider adding a small meal at the last leg of the flight, right now there is 7 hours of no meal break.

Lounge a access was excellent as was the attentiveness and service from the crew as always. The food and drink supplied were of good quality. The entertainment system had a good selection and I liked the mapping system supplied. However the screen wild have been bigger and the operation a little smoother to navigate. The seats were barely comfortable, but adequate.

Headwind delayed our flight which wasn’t the airlines fault

The bed was alright in business class. Food variety and quality were not up to the mark compared to the business class airfare.

Given the Business class airfare, the food variety and quality both were substandard. The crew was not interested to serve other choices and work hard to provide alternatives. Very disappointing food service.

I wish there were more bathrooms available on these larger carriers.

The experience was efficient, on time, and provided great service.

Overall, not good. Super late boarding in Hong Kong because some last minute issue with a plane. The boarding process is chaotic. Kathy Pacific should seek to do better with punctual departure time. Caused a lot of trouble with missed connecting flight.

The morning in Hong Kong was ridiculous. Very chaotic. The flight was delayed. Missed connecting flights. Kathy should be more competent in getting the planes ready ahead of time so that flights can depart on time.. totally ridiculous and unnecessary. Very poor performance.

It's basically 15 hours with an airline in economy class. There's really not much of anything that could have been done better unless I had a first class ticket. Cathay Pacific does excellent work, with a very professional, friendly and attentive crew. It's literally the only airline that I will fly to Southeast Asia.

Crew on this flight dedicate their business class service to their high priority members. They would get priority service even the seats are behind me, and meals priority service and orders. I get the left over choices. I refused to eat because I felt discriminated, never booking this airline.

First time tying out business class with this airline, hat a disappointment, never returning. We didn’t get the meal as requested from Singapore to HKG flight. While meals served connecting flight, crew takes meal order based off passenger membership status by giving the. Priority selection of meals. It was a battle, plain disappointment, not worth the hype, price, class as categorized/ advertised

Close to excellent. The only problem is when I try to charge my phone on the USB in front of my seat, the battery level is decreasing rather than increasing. Why?

Plane was good Crew was good Food was just ok Could have had more entertainment options But overall good

no qatar did noting wrong Kayak messed up my whole vacation . Went early to check in at The Cairo, Egypt airport to find our I had not tickets to board , Kayak and/or Affirm never sent the money for my flight that I paid for and booked. So I had no flight at 12am in a foreign country and I had to scramble and find anther very costly other option just so that could fly home. Fucken horrible experience.

Paid $10 for wifi for full flight duration and the wifi wasn’t available after initial 2 hours

My entire row did not have power for the full duration of a 14.5 hour flight. Could not charge any devices such as laptop or phones for the entirety of the long flight. The flight attendants tried to remedy the issue by resetting the power, but were not successful. The only other solution provided was to move me to another seat on the plane which was in the middle row. I had paid for a “preferred” seat that was a window seat. This was a downgrade being offered due to the power issue.

Nothing to complain. The staff and flight was good especially the seats which was better compared than the cloth ones on Qatar airways

Terrible experience resolving missed connection after flight was delayed. 3 hour queue at transit desk, not enough staff, no organisation, worst ever flying experience.

Awful plane to Tashkent. Not even possible to sleep. In business class does not even recline fully

The flight was smooth Thank God but the delays and changing gates for 3-4 times made me so tired of walking back and forth with heavy bags I thought I was going to pass out with heavy headaches but Thank God finally found the final gate and home safe. These delays happen anytime for important reasons so just be patient when you come across these situations.

Seats very small and unable to pre purchase internet or seat upgrades

The only thing that could have been better, is that the food trays get left way to long after a meal. We had a snack 8 hrs into the trip, and they left us with the boxes and cups for way too long. It is not fun being trapped in your seat unnecessarily

On time. Friendly and helpful flight attendants. The plane was clean. Having a wine available would have been nice.

Your staff was exceptional. Could teach the other airlines-rules on etiquette, and service. Excellent landings on flights, carried out by your pilots. Only complaint is long delay on return flight in Beijing, onto Vancouver.

Worst than I expected, crew was not attentive, meal was as disgusting , they didn’t even drink selections as they would to other passengers. I felt discriminated

cannot get seat information for LAX to IAH when check in in XI,AN

UA is ok. But check in was a very bad experience

I hate that you cannot check in online and when you are at the airport, there aren't any aisle seats left. Also, they could work a little on subtitles for their movies (not everyone is a native English speaker).

Nothing to complain of, the only reason I am not giving better marks is that I am used to flying with ANA and they are the top.

It's terrible that we can't do online check in because we didn't buy the tickets directly from Air china. It was not explained until I contacted Chatdeal and we could not sit together.

Communication between the captain/crew and the passengers needs to be improved.

Food and service are good. Bathroom was lack of lotions and cleaning. That should be improved.
