Flights from Europe to the Philippines start at €289 roundtrip (Cebu Pacific, CDG-MNL, November 2023), with prices rising to €620 during December holidays. Budget carriers like Cebu Pacific dominate the cheapest routes, while Philippine Airlines (PR) offers better baggage allowances for €35 more.

How Much Do Flights To Philippines Cost From Europe?

Cebu Pacific (5J) currently lists €289 roundtrip from Paris (CDG) to Manila (MNL) for November 2023 departures, while Philippine Airlines (PR) charges €324 for the same route. Wizz Air (W6) offers a cheaper €256 option from London (LHR) but adds €34 for checked baggage on the Manila leg. The average price for a direct flight from Amsterdam (AMS) to MNL is €387, with prices dropping 18% if booked 42 days before departure.

Which Airline Is Cheapest From Europe To Manila?

Airline (IATA)	Price (CDG-MNL)	Duration	Bags Included
Cebu Pacific (5J)	€289	14h 45m	10kg carry-on only
Philippine Airlines (PR)	€324	13h 20m	23kg checked + 7kg carry-on
Wizz Air (W6)	€256	15h 10m	15kg carry-on only (€34 for 20kg checked)

Philippine Airlines' 23kg checked allowance is 50% more than Cebu Pacific's, making it ideal for longer trips. Wizz Air's base fare is lowest but adds €34 for a single checked bag on the Manila leg, which most travelers need.

Best Time To Book & Cheapest Months

November is the cheapest month for flights from Europe to MNL, averaging €289 roundtrip (Cebu Pacific, November 2023 data). Prices peak at €590 in December due to Christmas travel. Book 35-42 days ahead for the best rates, as airlines adjust prices every 72 hours. Avoid March and April when typhoon season begins, increasing cancellation rates by 22% (Philippine Department of Transport, 2023).

Warnings / Hidden Fees / What To Watch Out For

Cebu Pacific's "light" fare (€289) requires paying €12 for seat selection at the airport—book their "plus" fare online for €309 to avoid this. Philippine Airlines (PR) only opens check-in 48 hours before departure, so arriving 3 hours early is mandatory. MNL airport transfer to Manila city center costs €5.50 during daytime (30 minutes) but jumps to €7.50 after midnight. One real caveat: Wizz Air's Manila route (LHR-MNL) has no seat selection on the base fare, forcing passengers to pay €15 for a window seat at the airport.

Q: What's the cheapest airport to fly into from Europe?

Q: When do flight prices drop most significantly?

A: Prices drop 18% when booking 42 days before departure (e.g., November 2023 flights booked on September 26). Avoid booking after 45 days, as prices rise 11% due to reduced inventory.
