Editorial snapshot
Flying to Manila suits the traveller who wants a Southeast Asian city with real historical depth and the option to bolt on island time. Fares from Singapore and Kuala Lumpur are competitive year-round, while long-haul routes from the Middle East and Japan offer solid frequency. Book at least six weeks ahead for the December peak, and budget extra time at NAIA on arrival.

The sweet spot for Manila flights is January through March, when the northeast monsoon keeps skies dry and fares sit at their annual low. July and August bring heavy rain and typhoon risk, which suppresses demand but also suppresses prices. December is the most expensive month by a clear margin, driven by the Filipino Christmas season and returning OFWs.
| Month | Price Band | Demand | Travel note |
|---|---|---|---|
| January | Budget | Medium | Dry season peak; good weather but post-Christmas fares drop sharply. |
| February | Budget | Low | Quietest month; lowest fares of the year, ideal for budget travellers. |
| March | Budget | Low | Still dry; Semana Santa bookings begin to build toward April. |
| April | Mid | Medium | Holy Week drives domestic travel; international fares begin to rise. |
| May | Mid | Medium | Transition month; heat peaks before the wet season arrives. |
| June | Mid | Medium | Rainy season begins; fares ease as leisure demand softens. |
| July | Budget | Low | Typhoon season active; lowest fares but travel disruption possible. |
| August | Budget | Low | Wet and humid; fares remain low, check travel insurance carefully. |
| September | Mid | Low | Typhoon risk continues; fares begin creeping up toward year-end. |
| October | Mid | Medium | Weather improving; Ber months signal early Christmas bookings in PH. |
| November | Mid | Medium | Dry season returns; fares rising as December approaches. |
| December | Peak | High | Most expensive month; Filipino Christmas season and OFW homecomings. |
