Cheap Flights to the Philippines - Flight Offers

[Ako Si Jamie]

A lot depends on where you are travelling from ie which airport.

Correct Andy. Flying from Heathrow is a lot cheaper.

[SimonH]

I found Gatwick slightly cheaper than Heathrow with Emirates. Use skyscanner or kayak to search for the best deals, and then review the travel agent before committing.

I had to book a flight at short notice on Thurs for my wife, she travelled Fri morn with Cathay to Clarke for £610 return, pretty good price I thought.

[grahamw48]

Yeah...pretty good that for short notice and decent airline.

Very good price short notice especially going to Clark. Cost me £630 with Cathay going to Clark last year and that was booked 2 months in advance.

Great stuff
Good price for Cathy. I actually prefer Clark.

[Pete/London]

I have to follow now so will be looking to fly, probably on Wed, so hope our friends can come up with similar price. That's with 30k baggage allowance.
The only drawback was being unable to choose seating , but due to circumstances for travel the check in staff allocated my wife and her sister row of 3 seats for the two of them. It doesn`t matter for me as I will be travelling alone.

Prices for Clark this June are around £1000
Even returns to Manila are around £900
The last time i came back from Clark (April) the plane was full so it looks like Cathay have adjusted their prices accordingly now this route has become popular

I prefer flying Cathay Pacific but i cant justify paying £300 extra over airlines like Singapore

[SimonH]

There are still deals to be had if you are willing to do a bit of leg work.
Look for a flight to either Hong Kong or Singapore on such web sites as Skyscanner or Kayak and see what deals you can come up with, then look at Tiger Airways, Phil Air, or Cebu Pacific for the connecting flight to Clark.
Things to remember doing it this way though
1. Check your connecting time between flights, you will have to collect your luggage and book in again.
2. Luggage allowance, just because your first flight allows you a 30kg allowance you may only get a 20kg on the next leg.

When I went last June the route between HK and Clark with DragonAir (Cathay) was new, about a week old, and there were only about 20 people on the plane.

[stevewool]

never flown into clark, what the disadvantage and whats the advantages to flying there, and if our destination was say cavite and marikina then onwards to bohol would it be worth it over manila

[Ako Si Jamie]

Very true.

[SimonH]

As with everything it depends where your final destination is, you wouldn't fly into Gatwick if your final destination was Glasgow would you.
If your destination is Cavite or Marikina then the obvious choice is Manila, but if you want to go to Bohol then check the internal flights from either Clark or Manila and see which one suits your pocket or timescale.

[stevewool]

the trouble with the phils there is no final destination, i am the sort of person that always wants to see what is around the corner

Yes it was like that back in November also but in April it was a big change

Anything that avoids the scrum at Manila airport has to be a good thing
Flying into Manila airport is not so bad but flying out is a real pain

traffick getting to the airport
long lines just to get inside the airport
long check in lines
long lines at immigration
awful toilets
awful food

Flying out of Clark avoids all the above and getting through to the departure lounge at Clark is a breeze

Clark's only practical if you're going north of Manila or catching a domestic flight. Clark only serves four cities in the Phils at the moment, Davao, Puerto Princesa, Kalibo and Cebu so unless you want to visit Cebu then get a boat to Bohol, it's best to fly to Tag from Manila. And as Cavite/Marikina are on Manila's doorstep it's a no brainer unless you fancy a 2+ hour road trip from Pampanga.

The new airport on Panglao Island might be served by Clark once it opens though.

[SimonH]

Didn't realise it only served four cities, thanks Jamie. Can see this changing quite soon though as Etihad and Emirates both start flying into Clark later this year.
Haven't used Clark myself yet, but will do just to avoid Manila and the traffic, not to mention the so called lounge at Manila.

[stevewool]

looking at flights last night and there are some good prices, still would love to go for xmas and new year but silly prices at the mo, Oct/Nov time comes down alot

Those four cities all have international airports so I can't see that trend changing although there a few airports currently being built that will cater for flights from HK, S. Korea etc such as Panglao and the new one in Bicol.

[SimonH]

Can't speak for the other three, but Puerto Princessa was definitely only a domestic airport when I was there only 2 months ago.

[Ako Si Jamie]

It only has domestic flights currently but is classed as international just like Bacolod and General Santos who also only cater for domestics.

[SimonH]

Just like the new one at San Vicente, being touted as an International so the Koreans would buy land on the 14km stretch of beach at vastly over inflated prices. In reality it will only ever be a domestic, and that's if it's ever finished.

San Vicente in Palawan? Could be, but maybe it's to serve that area and El Nido as EN only has a diddy airport only suitable for charter flights.

I used to go just before the 'high season' prices began, (usually around mid Nov) and then stay in the Phils to at least Jan 7. Nice long holiday and not too dear.
