This page is for anyone in the UK working out how to fly to Manila, whether you are visiting family, travelling for work or taking a holiday. Manila's airport is Ninoy Aquino International Airport, code MNL. Every fact below comes from a named airline, airport or government page, listed with the date we read it at the end. If we could not read something, we left it out instead of guessing.
Singapore Airlines says that every journey from the UK to the Philippines goes through a stopover in Singapore (SIN), and that it serves Manila from London and from Manchester. Singapore Airlines lists about 17h 05m to 17h 20m as the typical total journey time from London to Manila, including the stopover.
Turkish Airlines says that flights between London and Manila are available with a connection in Istanbul. The fares on its page start from London Heathrow.
Emirates lists one-stop itineraries to Manila on its own route pages for eight UK airports. The pages we read do not name the stopover airport, so we do not either.
Qatar Airways says it connects passengers to more than 160 destinations through Doha (Hamad International Airport) and has a page for Manila. That page names no UK departure airport, so ask us which UK airports suit your dates.
Airlines change their routes and schedules, so treat this as what each airline publishes rather than a timetable.
Want to know about direct options for your dates? Send us your dates and nearest UK airport on WhatsApp or through the contact form. We'll check what's available for your journey and include it in your free quote.
Emirates lists one-stop itineraries to Manila from London Heathrow, London Gatwick, London Stansted, Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Newcastle. Turkish Airlines names London Heathrow. Singapore Airlines says it serves Manila from London and from Manchester, and the page we read does not say which London airport. If you are starting somewhere else, tell us your nearest airport and we will check the options for you.
For Emirates, Qatar Airways and Singapore Airlines the allowance is set by total weight, it rises as you move up from the lowest fares, and no single bag may weigh more than 32 kg. The table above shows the typical figures by fare family.
None of the three airline pages names the Philippines, so treat the figures as typical. Your ticket shows your actual allowance, and we confirm it with your quote.
Entry rules are set by the authorities and can change, so we link to them instead of repeating them. Read the GOV.UK entry requirements for the Philippines before you book, and check them again before you travel.
Cebu's airport is Mactan-Cebu International Airport, code CEB. Singapore Airlines says it serves Cebu from London and from Manchester, with a stopover in Singapore on each journey, the same stopover as its Manila flights. Emirates lists one-stop itineraries from London Heathrow to Cebu on its own route page. We have not confirmed a routing for other airlines, so ask us for the options for your dates.
If you are planning to be in the Philippines for Christmas, our page on Christmas flights home to the Philippines covers what to think about for a December trip.
We read each of these pages on 15 October 2026.

I kept getting through to AI customer services of the other popular travel companies just to allow me book unaccompanied flight for my 16 year old. But I got to speak to a real being here who assisted me till the point where BA's website confirmed the flight for my 16 year old to travel unaccompanied. Thank you
I approached Travel Orbit Ltd when I was desperate after having let down by another travel agency. Not only did Travel Orbit Ltd help me to recover my money, they also helped me put up a funding package to enable me to buy the ticket that I needed, at an even lower price. The staff member who helped me was so patient and knowledgeable from the beginning to the end. I experienced a rare professional customer support that I haven't experienced for a very long time.
Excellent service from Travel Orbit Ltd! I found Travel Orbit Ltd through an advertisement on social media and, after completing a quick enquiry form, Diana got in touch with me almost immediately. She was able to arrange and book my flight in record time, and I was particularly impressed by how thorough she was throughout the booking process. Any potential errors or details that needed correcting were picked up and dealt with almost immediately, which gave me complete confidence and reassurance. From start to finish, the service was professional, efficient and personal. I'm one very happy customer! 😊 Excellent booking process and exceptional customer service. Thank you, Diana, and Travel Orbit Ltd! 🙏🏽
