FAQs - booking Philippines flights

  • What major airports are located in the Philippines?

    Manila Airport is the larger and busier airport in the Philippines, located near the county's capital, Manila. Other significant airports in the country include Davao International Airport (DVO), serving the entire Davao region, and Iloilo International Airport (ILO), a primary gateway to the Iloilo province.

  • Which airport should I arrive at to visit Boracay Island?

    Boracay Island is a stunning destination for travellers seeking to soak in the sun and enjoy breathtaking scenes. You can get convenient access to the island by flying to Caticlan Airport (MPH), within walking distance from Caticlan Jetty Port. You can catch a boat or ferry to Boracay Island from here.

  • Can I bring a pet on my flight to the Philippines?

    Most flight operators to the Philippines allow pets on board. Depending on your airline's pet policy, you can bring your fluffy companion in-flight or as checked luggage. Pet size and weight requirements apply and can attract extra costs. However, Philippine law mandates that your pet must be vaccinated against rabies at least 30 days before your travel date, and you must show a health certificate produced by an accredited veterinarian within 10 days of your travel date.

  • Which holidays may affect flights to the Philippines?

    Christmas is a big holiday in the Philippines, featuring heavy traffic on domestic and international flights and vibrant celebrations. Also, considering the country's religious setting, Holy Week, All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day are significant holidays that can affect flights to the Philippines. To avoid increased fares and crowds on these holidays, consider booking in advance and being flexible with your travel dates.

  • Which city in the Philippines should I stay in?

    While Manila is the country’s largest city, there are several other cities that you could use as your home-base in the Philippines. Iloilo City’s airport, the Iloilo International Airport, is considered the cleanest and most efficient airport in the country, and is in a very central location. Nearby Cebu City is also a popular choice in the Visayas Islands specially for beachgoers, or there is Cagayan de Oro on Mindanao Island.

  • Do I need a visa to travel to the Philippines?

    Since 2013, Australian passport holders do not need to apply for a visa in order to enter the Philippines. You can enter freely if your stay, whether for business or pleasure, does not exceed 30 days and you have evidence of a return or onward bound ticket. Passports must also be valid for at least six months beyond the date of your intended stay.

  • Where do I fly if I want to visit the Ifugao rice fields?

    There is no nearby airport to the Ifugao rice fields. The closest is the Cauayan Airport (CYZ) which is still a 3h drive from the Ifugao region, and domestic services to the local airport are limited. Further is the Clark International Airport (CRK) in Angeles, however it is still a 5h drive from here to the rice fields. However, if you are taking a tour, it will likely be from Angeles or Manila and so both cities are considered a gateway to northern Philippines.

  • What airlines offer direct flights to Philippines?

    You can find direct flights from Sydney and Melbourne to the Philippines with Cebu Pacific and Philippine Airlines. Qantas Airways also offers daily flights from Sydney, all of them fly to Manila Ninoy Aquino International Airport (MNL).

  • Enter your preferred departure airport and travel dates into the search form above to unlock the latest Philippines flight deals.
  • Manila Ninoy Aquino International Airport (MNL) is the primary hub of the Philippines' national carrier, Philippine Airlines, and serves cities around the Luzon region, including Manila, Quezon City and Caloocan.
  • If you're stuck on a stopover at Manila Airport, you can spend time and unwind at the onsite lounges in Terminals 1 and 3. You can purchase a day pass or pay at the door if you don't have free access.
  • If you’re visiting the picturesque Boracay Island, the closest airport is the Godofredo P. Ramos Airport (MPH) in nearby Caticlan. From here you can catch a ferry to the island. As the airport is small, some choose to fly into Iloilo City Airport (ILO), however, it is a 4h drive from here to Caticlan.
  • The Philippines is a large collection of islands, some over a day’s travel to each other. Flying is therefore a good way to see the country, and you can take advantage of the over 70 airports throughout the country.
  • The capital city of the Philippines, Manila, is a popular airport to fly into as it is the country's largest international airport and has the largest number of domestic connections. You can find direct flights to Manila with airlines such as Cebu Pacific, Philippine Airlines, and Qantas.
  • Those looking to fly to Cebu in the Southern Philippines should search for flights to Mactan-Cebu International Airport (CEB), the second busiest airport in the country. You can find one-stop flights to Cebu from Sydney with Scoot or Philippine Airlines.
  • When preparing for your trip to the Philippines, it is worth keeping in mind that most of the airports have limited facilities. It is recommended that you travel with hand sanitiser and that you wait until you leave the airport to use ATMs for better transaction prices.

I loved the comfort of the flight and the hospitality of the flight attendants!

I loved the comfort of the flight and the hospitality of the flight attendants!

Awesome! Was impressed with the hospitality and the thoughtful services. The cabin attendants were superb.

Crews are not allowed to perform any service whenever the captain deems there’s a chance of turbulence. Even if it is perfectly smooth air.

If I made the connection in Singapore I was stuck there for 24 hours you owe me 355.00 for accommodations

Leg room and flight sound insulation is very bad. They broke 3 of my bags with bad handling

Crews were great but food not much selection just all tailored for Asian passengers.

Too many luggages for 1 passenger (4 bags) will make all the overhead luggage bins a challenge to fit them all. Some have oversized hand carry as in like back packer size bags shouldn’t be allowed as handcarry.

I had a great experience with Singapore airlines as always. The partner airline, Scoot was fine except my bag was misplaced during the shuffle. Ultimately, my baggage arrived intact. Attempting to inquire about my baggage was impossible.

plus: service and personal assistance minus: online check-in did not work

My experience with Scoot is very good. Will have no issue flying with Scoot again.

Plane a little late departing, but not an issue. The pilots humour when he said “I will try to make up some time…. I know a few short cuts to Adelaide” made the passengers chuckle. This is what makes Qantas “Australian”.

I have never had a problem with flying Qantas, so this flight was the same as any other.

After British Airways cancelled my London to Sydney and Virgin Australia refused to refund, there was no ways I would try Virgin Australia again, so it was Qantas - what a good flight experience. So much easier to get off an international flight and get a local flight without having to add extra amounts for baggage

The flight was delayed by 1.5 hours and most of the flights bags were not on the flight. Have also had no communication from QANTAS

I was thrilled with the bottle of water, blanket, pillow, earphones, and little packet of toothbrush, toothpaste, earplugs. I was very satisfied with the meals and snacks and drinks. I alao was very grateful to have a seat that backs up against the lavatory, as it made it very easy to get to the bathroom without being jumped in line, as so often happens in the airplane. Of course that was just a random strike of luck, but it really made a difference.

Food was great. Customer Service not so much! Flight Delays.

The plane was delayed about 3 hours so anything else is immaterial

It was so hot on the plane mixed with being quite turbulent and a rough landing. We all felt very nauseous for hours afterwards. Crew were lovely though.

For a long haul, the flight was good. We left an hour late due to a seat in business class not working. But they made up time and we still got in on time or even early thanks to tailwinds. The crew was friendly. The meals were okay, nothing special.

Internet on internation flights is a basic comodity. Very disappointed. Same entertainment that has been on for the past year. Update your content for frequent flyers

Food was satisfactory, movie monitor not working. Other than that on time and pleasant crew.

First and foremost it was a Philippine Airlines.my experiences ,number one non- stop flight no lay over not other airlines,number two ,boarding they calling by ground letter.number 3 stay on time no delay flight

Worst airline. They had 3 security checks just to get onboard and no notification prior. Had to throw away any liquid bought at duty free because one of the security checks was prior to boarding the plane. My onboard media console was not working, the flight attendant said they will check on it but did nothing. Pretended we did not ask for it to be rectified for a 17hr plane ride. Horrible experience. My first and last time taking Philippines Airlines.

first time flying PAL/WAMOS, ang got to say, i’ve had much worst… the good: - front sitting is not too bad. legroom is pretty good considering economy standards. - staff is friendly and pleasant, starting with checkin, boarding and flight. not unforgettable, but pretty good. the bad: - boarding: stick with rules. besides priority sitting, when you say board from certain range of numbers (starting from back), make sure you let everyone know to stick with this… not with everyone letting in all at once! - food: had fish ad family members had beef. both are quite bad (saying this nicely). the fish is dry, whilest beef is rough as leather. both tasteless. - washrooms arr dirty! - seats, though good legroom, not much padding, hard on the backside! - entertainment: feature movie is the bachelor (circa 1999). no music offerings.

Bad experience... Flight schedule should be on time, ours was 2 hours delayed both ways ,Mla-Panglao-Mla. Priority lane for Seniors & PWD should be practice but our Panglao-Manila flight, both priority & regular lanes boarded the at the same time, the only difference is that we were coming on 2 different lanes. It depletes the purpose of priority lanes.

Poor check in attitude , terrible food , movies selection poor, food came out cold , service terrible , entertainment system also broke so we had to use a iPad , worst biz class I have ever been on

When I checked in, there was no option available for selecting a gluten-free meal. The lounge offerings were inadequate for someone with a gluten-free diet, and the staff in the lounge were not helpful at all.

Check-in was tedious. They could just have used the electronic boarding passes and counter checked the passengers’ names in their manifest. What’s the use of the early checkin if we still have to queue at the only 1 functioning checkin counter!

I’m 6’2” and the seats were too close together for my knees, very uncomfortable.

So far pal express is much better than Cebu pacific in terms of customers service and in flight crew. And on time departure and arrival . Especially if you're taking airbus 320 plane . But the small aircraft like bombardier . It usually delayed .

Great it a good airline but no food or entertainment as it’s a airline

Bags lost for the second time. Will not fly with Cebu Pacific again.

Very good no problems with this airline friendly staff at checking ask you where you want to sit left on time everything easy, it’s a budget airline no food or entertainment unless you buy on the flight but who need food etc on a late night flight.

Delays on the tarmac, uncomfortable even after paying extra for premium seats. Bags lost in transit, no compensation provided

Delay and flowing long wait for leaving the aircraft after landing. IDK, if it's worth.

"usual delay" for an hour.. they are usually missing punctuality.

i liked that the flight crew noticed my discomfort with the small leg space (I'm 6'2") and offered the emergency row. The fight attendants were very friendly, a definite strength with Cebu Pacific. I didn't like the leg space in my original seating.

The seats are too cramped, there is barely enough room to shift weight. This could be easy to endure in a one-hour flight, but not more than that. The crew did not clean up shortly after meals. The tray table remained open because of the meal and ate up what is left of the little seating space. The crew were just idling by for 45 minutes before they collected the trash. The airline did not inspect carry-on luggage. Most of the passengers brought too many bags, too large and/or over the weight limit. This undermines safety and discourages those who pay extra for checked bags just to comply with the airline regulations. If the airline is not inspecting carry-on luggage, why should I pay more just to check in some bags?

Terrible, I will never ever ever attempt to fly on Cebu Pacific. I understand that it’s a cheap flight option but they take cheap experience to the next level.

The front desk and early check in was fantastic and the flight did not have any turbulence

The cosmetic condition was pretty run down. The carpets were badly worn out. Even the paint on the wings was chipped and peeled! Looks like they are running these 787s to the ground..

WiFi didn’t work on both sectors so made killing time harder - planes clean modern and good flight crew - would do again if WiFi works

6hrs fly they dont give you a glass of water from seoul to singapore need to buy drink and food plus they charge for bag on international fly is always Free 1 bag from seoul to singapore is Not a local fly you are traveling true asia same story from singapore to Bali no water drink after payment for bag drink cost more the regular airline Well never use this company again we use regular company like Delta korea japan China and even scoot parent company Singapore Air

We had 2 attempts to land at Singapore Changing during a thunderstorm. Everything was delayed by 1 hour plus.

Boarding was not accordingly after front seat, bmf then back seat. This delayed for at least 40mins or more. The staff at Jakarta can do better. Is chaos at the entry to board the plane. This tarnished Scoot reputation when everyone was talking about it.

The crew was not customer oriented at all, even confrontational . The aircraft needs more attention to detail as far as comfort, and the 1 hour sitting at the gate with no air is inexcusable

We flew on the 787 Dreamliner direct to main gate at KLIA2, quick entry via eGate and on the train 41mins after touchdown. Go well SCOOT

Was on scoot plus. The only good thing about the flight was the spacious seats. Tables and armrests were extremely dirty Food: bad Entertainment: non existent Wifi: unable to connect, then was painfully slow that we couldn’t even send messages Good thing we had a night flight, so we just slept throughout.

Not clear why boarding passes could only be issued at the counter and not through the kiosk. I had already check-in on the web, so waiting to obtain a boarding pass 1.5 hours before the actual flight defeats the purpose of early web check-in.

no charging point. food offering is limited and very much on the budget line. Overall is not satisfying for such a price and duration of flight.
