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.

Top tips for finding cheap flights to the Philippines

  • Book at least 1 week before departure in order to get a below-average price for flights to the Philippines.
  • High season is considered to be January, November and December. The cheapest month to fly from the United Kingdom is September.
  • 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.

Amazing and great experience, crew was available and took great care of my parents. Food was nice and so was the service. Aircraft from Dubai to Mumbai was not so great and was a big showdown of the aircraft service

Amazing and great experience, crew was available and took great care of my parents. Food was nice and so was the service. Aircraft from Dubai to Mumbai was not so great and was a big showdown of the aircraft service

Flight attendants were great. Comfort of seat and lie down bed pretty good. Food was very mediocre. Wine was good (red French wine) although I should have taken advantage of having more! :-) it was too late on the flight From znz—I was tired…then too early from Dubai. Woman sitting behind me dropped a full bag of garbage on my head while I was sleeping…orange peels, wet partially eaten food and very smelly food garbage which I literally had to pick out of my hair, off my face and away from my pillow. Not the airlines fault but still a very unpleasant experience.

The food options for children is limited The business class bed is not fully lie flat, and this is an uncomfortable sleep

Fresh energetic and friendly crew, great food, brand new plane and non stop entertainment

Good food and staff. Flights were delayed making catching the connecting one tough with no time to stretch in between

First time flying Emirates and business class. What a civilized way to travel, everything was wonderful organized and relaxing. Thank you for providing the best first impression!

The food was pretty good and the crew were excellent. It would have been excellent all round but for screaming children. Six hours at least of a 10 hr flight. Mostly 1 child clearly on the spectrum and probably ADHD but I really felt for the parents and grandparents who were obviously struggling and doing the best they could under the circumstances. No reflection on the airline of course and we all need to be more tolerant with these challenges . Slept for 15 hrs when I got home.

The boarding experience was worst ever. Single aerobridge used for boarding and deboarding which led to lot of chaos. Food options were not great. First flight delayed by more than 3 hours which led to missing of the next flight we were stuck at Dubai airport by more than 6 hours

Plane was old and seats uncomfortable but staff were friendly and helpful

Superb check in, lounge, boarding and flight experience. On time departure and before time arrival. Couldn’t have asked for more

Food was hood for airline food with good poftion and variety in meals. Frequency of beverage service was very low and amount of soda with meals was inadequate.

bad… no veg food was provided eventhough i pre ordered special meal

Meal options for vegetarians can be provided… Nothing was offered for me for dinner.. crew just said no vegetarian option available and did even bother to provide any alternatives or something to eat.

Cathay has a great reputation, though it's baseline economy seating is nothing to write home about (and SE Asia flight passengers sometime lack 'routine stateside' etiquette). On the other hand, food was great, flight attendants were nice, and price was very good~

It would be nice if they could have a choice of both gluten AND dairy free menu. Lots of people have problems with BOTH. I also could not get on their website to check. Phone verification issues etc( not all of us have our phones on roaming. I tried over an hour!

They charged me $900 to board my flight I already paid for just because I missed my previous flight. I do not recommend this airline by any means.

As a solo traveller, I always prefer to have an aisle seat, but the flight was so full, there weren’t any available. I understand that the seatbelt sign sometimes has to go on if turbulence is anticipated but after the second food service, it was on continuously for about an hour and a half and there didn’t seem to be any turbulence at all! With seats reclined, my fellow passenger in the aisle seat asleep and the seatbelt sign on I felt very trapped, extremely uncomfortable and in desperate need of the bathroom. The positives were that the staff were very friendly, the entertainment was great and we actually took off on time and arrived in HKG earlier than expected.

Mediocre. Nothing special. Bad airline food Never received the food I requested Slow response from ground staff concerning my wheelchair. I was left at a holding area and had to walk the distance to the gate. In Hong Kong

For a transpacific flight, flying economy is awful! The seats are cramped and its meant for petite folks! Good luck if you have long legs. BOARDING - AWFUL, we got to Hong Kong - the gate was listed, but upon arrival, there was a MESS of boarding procedures, they basically DIY'ed how to board but making three lines and putting three ground crew to check for passports in the terminal area. THEN to make it worse, after going through that cattle process, all of a sudden you see people standing and looking confused, apparently we were told to get in line to board, but the AV notification wasnt even working. So people started cramming in line - worse than cattle. One saving point, the flight crew forgot to serve me dinner and after waiting for it, I fell asleep since this was a midnight flight. After letting a crew know that I was forgotten, all of my meals were served first !!! Yay for being in the economy seats! Nothing much to write home about once more!

Was a nice experience, crews were nice and accommodating. My only complain is the super tight leg room for the economy class.

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

Seat experience average as they use old 777 for must flights despite full load. Qr fares are higher than other airlines for same routes so they should at least upgrade the planes . Food is average and same dishes for months on most routes I travelled at least - the Arabian rice dish “Maqboos” on every flight for months - I am sure there are other food Arabian dishes ?? It’s become boring ! Crew is always good which makes up for these things but hey confirm us what we need

There was not enough food for everybody. Some dishes were missing.

Being a QR Platinum member traveling in business class, I expected the staff to be more courteous. Unfortunately, the lady staff was rude attending business class 1K side.

The rows of seats in economy class are seriously close to one another making eating and resting just about impossible - there is hardly any legroom. Anyone larger than average size would have an incredibly uncomfortable flight. I had to basically share my seat with the lady passenger next to me as she was too big to fit into her allotted seat.

Food was good, attendants were friendly. Seats were not comfortable. Did not receive any amenities such as eyemask or earplugs that would have helped sleep. Additionally a large group of passengers boarded very late into boarding and were a disruption for almost the whole flight. Flight attendants did their best but the kids were making so much noise, kicking seats, and half the time no adult was sat with them so they weren’t being managed.

I staff or crew they were very friendly and humbly, they done theirs service very well, I appreciate them and thank you to the company or Qatar 🇶🇦 Government for providing as good service in their flight ,once again, thank you 😊 🙏 😀 😉 👍

To many ads. 3 or 4 between each movie. All repetitive, all related to Doha which I was just passing thru.

They have misplaced my one checked bag which I have not received in Philadelphia and have lodged complaint with American Airlines, the staff of Indigo was rude with us, at the checking counter, I think she purposely withheld my one of the checked bag, because the American Airlines staff told me that bag was not received at Doha airport. Kindly help me with one of my checked bag to get it. My flight was from Mumbai to Doha and then Doha to Philadelphia.

I didn't understand why I got dropped off at departures on exiting the plane at Doha aiport. I had to find my own way to immigration/baggage reclaim which wasn't easy as staff in the departure section just tell you ti scan your boarding pass. This was very poor b qatar Airways. I spent 2 hours soyung this out and once I got to get my suitcase it was delayed. So instead of getting to the hotel at about midnight I got there at three in the morning. I wonder why I upgraded to business?

Very poor show. Flight got delayed due to fog in Lahore. This is understandable. However, no arrangements were made for nany hours, once some things was organised, there was no leadership, no support to families with children's, disabled passengers. Took to hotel where it took 3 hours to sort out room allocation, that after finding partner to a minimum of 4 people. Couples were asked to find another couple before room is allocated. After 2 5 Hours of reaching room,return journey started with total chaos, no leadership at airport. Several derours to finally get new boarding passes. Asking the reason why flight was cancelled, the Saudi airline staff recommended using other Airlines in future.Finally boarding nobody inside the aeroplane helping old, illiterate to find their allocated sears. Sort out luggage storage. All the staff stayed in their kitchen areas to let passengers sort out. In-flight service wad good. Overall very poor experience.

It’s very tiring journey with only 3 seats in a row and not good for family of four. Online checkin don’t work and unable to select the seats while going.

Ok, the flight was not full yet I had people on both sided and the chairs were tight. Only 2 kinds of snacks didn’t even have milk for the coffee.

Economy seats are better than most other international airlines. Crew is nice, food is halal and pretty good. Seatback tv selection is ok, not great. Wifi is poor and crazy expensive, "free" messaging lasts 15 minutes and capped at 3mb, full flight plans are $50 USD and still very tightly data capped.

Food was bad, boarding experience especially at Jeddah was extremely chaotic. Flights were very uncomfortable with Meals at odd times

Make all food options available, than running out even before mid way through the service

Make the food options available, than running out even before mid way through the service.

Very old airplane with old and seat for business class

Riyadh to Dhaka was disaster! Passengers were standing the whole flight blocking ways for using restrooms. Bathrooms were extremely dirty. Food quality was very poor. Overall Riyadh to Dhaka was extremely poor and bad experience.

There is issue with first name and every thing is correct, and they did not onboard, it was really bad experience I recommend not to buy ticket and support team is very poor ever though online support is very bad

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

Food & service very good next I will pick up again

Chinese flight attendants didn't speak english well. They didn't care enough to remember that I (east asian who isn't Chinese) wasn't Chinese and spoke English. Announcement in english on board was poor and I find it very difficult to understand what was announced. Also, a cabin bag allows only 5kg!

Everything was not satisfactory - the flight was delayed, staffs were ok but they didn't speak English well. I am from east Asia (not Chinese) and they didn't care enough to remember that I wasn't Chinese but persistently spoke chinese to me. The flight announcement in english wasn't clear to understand.

I wish I had been able to choose a vegetarian meal. Crew friendly and helpful. Seat was ok. All quite efficient and pleasant. Would recommend for inner China travel for sure.

The flight is not bad, but the Business Lounge is not big enough for the quantity of people they accept and there is a limited options for food and beverages.

It was simply bad and on top of that my luggage hasn't been delivered until now. They can't even localize it which is just unacceptable when they are supposed to scan the bar code they put when we check in

We bought premium Economy, thinking it would be more comfortable, but the seat is so narrow ,that my legs and feet are swollen , I can't wear shoes !

The flight was delayed for almost 5 hours, but I understand that it was not up to the company, however how they could handle the situation better, they never apologized for that delay, moreover despite passengers being there for 7 hours only thing they did was to give a bowl of instant noodles, afterwards on the plane tiny snacks, people were there starting from lunch time and we’ve arrived to destination at almost midnight
