Peak Season:
Manila is hot and humid all year round, making it a popular destination for tourists. The busiest time of year is from December to May so cheap flights to Manila are harder to come by. It is also when Manila is most crowded. The price of your flights tickets can also fluctuate and increase during annual events or festivals, such as the Feast of the Black Nazarene in January, so make sure you book your flights to Manila as early as you can to secure a good price. The second week of April sees the Cocoa de Flores, or Chocolate and Flowers and shouldn’t be missed if you are travelling to Manila around then.
Off Season:
Due to the pleasant weather Manila doesn’t suffer from an off season too much, although you’ll find the cheapest flights to Manila between June and September. This is typically the typhoon season and sees the most rainfall.

If weather is an important factor for your trip to Manila, use this chart to help with planning. For those seeking warmer temperatures, April is the ideal time of year to visit, when temperatures reach an average of 29.0 C. Travellers hoping to avoid the cold should look outside of January, when temperatures are typically at their lowest (around 26.0 C).
You’ll find the cheapest flight deals in May or June, although March and April are only slightly more expensive. Book your flights to Manila well in advance if you intend to visit during an event or festival to avoid paying through the roof on your flight tickets. You’ll find the best deals on flight tickets if you can be flexible with your dates so if you don’t have your heart set on any specific period or date then you can find cheap flights to Manila. If you are governed by work or the school holidays, then try to book your flights to Manila for the Christmas period or early January as you’ll get warm and dry weather and if you secure your flight tickets early enough, the cost should be quite fair too.

The business class cabin is really nice - EXCEPT the two interior seats have no divider between them - which makes for a bad experience -especially when the person next to you coughs excessively with no protection. Basically, the person is looking at you and coughing at you the WHOLE FLIGHT. Most major airlines have a sliding divider you can close for privacy and safety reasons. The window seats do not have this problem - so if you book business class and are traveling solo - make sure to get a window seat - I didn't and regretted it.

Ninoy Aquino International Airport is about 7km (4.3 miles) south of Manila, the cosmopolitan capital of the Philippines, and is a major gateway to the country. It serves as a hub for all Philippine airlines and is one of the 50 busiest airports in the world, serving 27 million passengers each year. Flights to Ninoy Aquino International Airport arrive from major hubs in Asia and the Pacific region, as well as a handful of cities a little further afield such as Amsterdam, Detroit and Dubai.
If you’re catching one of the many international flights to Ninoy Aquino International Airport, chances are you’ll go through the old Terminal 1, widely regarded as one of the worst terminals in Asia. It generally operates way over capacity, especially in peak season – so make sure you factor in lots of time. There are plans to shift more international flights to the sleek new Terminal 3, although so far, this has been hampered by red tape.
Overall, this airport is a little chaotic and can be confusing to navigate, but with a healthy dose of patience, you’ll get through it to your holiday in the Philippines without too much trouble.
