With prices to Manila usually hovering around $600, getting there for just over half of that is a great deal!

This offer is with Cebu Pacific, which is a low-cost airline, so meals and checked baggage cost extra, but this deal still represents great value.

The direct flights have quite good timings, with an evening arrival to Manila and red-eye flight home, meaning you’ll save on a night’s accommodation costs.

This sale is on for November 2016 to March 2017 departures, but as dry season covers all of these months except November and tickets are understandably more expensive in the peak travel month of December, our tip to get these cheap tickets and good weather is to go in January, February or March.

Manila Climate Chart

The Wikipedia page for a destination in mind nearly always has climate information, which can help you plan the best time to go. In Manila’s case, travelling outside of the wet season (which runs from May to November) is a good choice.
