Peak Season:
Manila is becoming more popular as a holiday destination for Australians, especially during the dry season which runs from December to May. January to March is the busiest period as the weather is cooler with temps in the low 30s. Travellers book cheap flights to Manila as a jumping off point to explore the Philippines’ islands but many stopover in Manila to enjoy its cultural attractions, excellent shopping and cosmopolitan nightlife. Easter and Christmas are busy times to fly to Manila, and annual festivals, which can affect flight ticket prices and availability, include the Feast of the Black Nazarene in January, Cocoa De Flores in April and Flores de Mayo in May.
Off Season
It’s best to avoid travelling to Manila during typhoon season which is July to October. Look for cheap flights to Manila either side of this period. June and November, though likely to be wet, are considered ‘transition’ months so there’s a good chance the weather will be favourable.

Pros: It was a newer model of the plane that I flew out with and it showed. Excellent interior, food was better than the previous flight. Very comfortable and functional for each individual . Crew were fantastic in there dealings with the passengers Overall a very pleasant experience
Cons: The inflight entertainment was not as good as I expected. To the extent there wasn’t anything that I wanted to watch as I’d seen the only 2 films that I wanted to watch in my previous long haul leg. TV series were severely lacking in choice as was the latest movies.

Depending which airline you fly, international flights to Manila land at either Terminal 1, Terminal 2 or Terminal 3. If you need to connect with other terminals, take the free shuttle bus service which runs every fifteen minutes. To reach the city centre, the cheapest (and most colourful) way is to catch a jeepney to Baclaran, a major transport hub ten minutes from the airport. From here you can catch the Metro-Rail to the city. Alternatively a city bus service leaves from outside Terminal 1 and 2. Major hotels may provide a shuttle bus or taxi service, so check when you book your accommodation.
