How good are these Manila fares?
- Price: Good. While not as cheap as budget airline Cebu Pacific's recent sale for $278 return, these are still pretty decent prices for a full-service airline.
- Airline: Great. As a full-service carrier your checked luggage, in-flight meals and entertainment are all included in your fare.
- Frequent Flyer Points: Qantas Frequent Flyer members can earn at least 5,200 points and 60 status credits in this sale based on flights from Sydney to Manila.
- Travel time: Good. Flights from Sydney are direct while other cities have a stopover in Sydney.
- Weather: Great. You've got almost a full year of travel dates to work with but we suggest aiming for either May or November if you're flexible. These are the best months to visit the Philippines when the weather is pleasant but the crowds are much less than the peak months.
