Airlines Flying Business Class to Manila
Manila is served direct by Philippine Airlines and one-stop by the Gulf and Asian carriers.
Philippine Airlines — direct
Non-stop from Heathrow in its flat-bed business cabin, with warm Filipino service and convenient onward island connections.
Qatar & Emirates — one-stop
Via Doha or Dubai, often cheaper and from regional airports.
Singapore & Cathay — via Asia

Best Time to Fly to Manila
The Philippines’ dry season, December to May, is the best and busiest time, with the wetter months (June–November) quieter and cheaper. Fares peak around Christmas and Easter.
For island travel, the December–May dry season is ideal.
Manila: What to See and Do
Manila blends Spanish colonial heritage — the walled city of Intramuros, churches and forts — with a thoroughly modern, energetic metropolis of malls, nightlife and superb dining.
For most travellers it is the gateway to the islands: the beaches of Boracay, the lagoons of Palawan, the diving of Cebu — all reached by short domestic flights we can include in your booking.
How We Save You Money on Business Class to Manila

- Private fares — negotiated rates frequently below the cheapest public price for the same seat
- Per-airport pricing — we quote from your nearest airport, often beating London once travel is counted
