Frequently asked questions about flying to Manila

The cosmopolitan city of Manila promises a beautiful bayside location and an impressive blend of cultures. Visitors are often overwhelmed by Manila’s traffic and urban sprawl. However, the city offers a generous choice of tourist-friendly accommodation and attractions. Manila experiences a typical tropical climate with distinct wet-dry seasons. At times, there is an overlap of a month or 2 between the seasons. June – November is officially the wet season, characterized by heavy rains and serial typhoons. However, the rains are not constant, and rarely impact travel plans. If you visit in the wet season, you will find less crowds and a lush, green landscape. From March – May, the weather is hot and humid and average temperatures soar as high as 95 degrees Fahrenheit. From late November – early March, the weather is dry and average temperatures are around 80 – 85 degrees Fahrenheit. This is a good time to explore the city and its surrounding islands.

Best things to do and see in Manila

Currently, there is only one airline that offers direct flights to Manila from the United States. This airline is Philippine Airlines and has journeys from the United States daily. The direct flights with Philippine Airlines to Manila depart from John F Kennedy International Airport, Los Angeles International Airport and San Francisco International Airport. These flights to Manila depart from their city of origin at different times of the day. Due to the extensive time difference, the flights always arrive in Manila the following day.

If you’re not able to get one of the direct flights to Manila from the United States, there are various options with one or two layovers in between. Depending on where you’re departing from, choosing a flight with at least one layover may make your ticket cheaper. For example, if you fly from Los Angeles to Manila on the more affordable airfare, you’ll have a layover in Doha International Airport. However, this option adds about 20 hours to your total journey. You can also find trips from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) and Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD) that fly with Japan Airlines and have a stopover in Tokyo Narita Airport. These flights are about 20 hours long including the stopover time in Japan.
