Airline and stops
Vueling operates this route with 2 stops. It's not direct, so you'll have intermediate connections. This increases total travel time versus a direct flight, but compensates in price. Check your booking for stopover locations and connection times.
Best time to travel
The Philippines has a dry season from November to April: more stable weather and less rain. July and August coincide with typhoon season, so best avoided. Median prices don't depend on which month you travel, but on when you book; secure your booking 2–3 months early if possible to lock in a low fare regardless of your travel dates.
What to do when you arrive in Manila
You'll land at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (MNL), 7 km from the centre. Manila offers Intramuros (the walled old quarter), baroque churches, museums, and nightlife. Easy connections from here to other islands: Boracay, Palawan, and Coron are classic getaways. Eat cheaply in local carrinderias; cost of living is low compared to Europe.
