I had a great experience with Travel Orbit from start to finish. Their team was professional, responsive, and made the entire booking process smooth and stress-free. They were patient in answering all my questions and ensured I got the best option for my travel needs. The customer service was excellent, and everything was handled efficiently. I would definitely recommend Travel Orbit to anyone looking for reliable travel services, and I'll be using them again for my future trips.

This page is for people in the UK who want to be in the Philippines for Christmas and are working out how to get there. It covers the practical side: which airlines to compare, what to think about before you pack gifts, what to have ready when you ask for a quote, and where to read the entry rules. For the full route facts, airports and sources, see our page on flights to Manila from the UK.
We are not publishing fares or booking claims on this page. Fares depend on your dates, your airport, the airline and the type of fare, so the most useful thing we can do is check them for you.
Three airlines publish one-stop journeys between London and Manila on their own pages, and the facts table above shows them.
Qatar Airways also lists Manila through its hub in Doha, but its page names no UK airport. Airlines change their routes and schedules, so tell us your dates and your nearest airport and we will check what is flying.
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.
A trip home often means carrying more than usual, so check the allowance before you shop. Emirates, Qatar Airways and Singapore Airlines each publish an economy allowance set by total weight, and it rises as you move to a higher fare type. Typically that is between 20 kg and 35 kg in total, and no single bag may weigh more than 32 kg. None of the pages we read names the Philippines, so your ticket is the final word on your own allowance.
Two practical points. First, compare the whole price of a fare with the baggage it includes, not only the headline fare. Second, if you expect to carry more than your allowance, tell us when you ask for a quote and we will compare your options. The facts table above shows the figures by airline and fare family.
Having these to hand makes a quote quicker to put together:
If your plans might change, ask us what the fare conditions allow before you pay.
Entry rules are set by the authorities and can change, so we link to them and do not repeat them. Read the GOV.UK entry requirements for the Philippines before you book, and check them again before you travel.
The read-on date for each source is shown beside the matching block in the facts table. The full list of sources is on the flights to Manila from the UK page.
Send us your dates, your nearest UK airport and the number of people travelling, using the WhatsApp or Get a quote buttons on this page, or ask us about direct options through the contact form. We check the current options and reply with a clear quote.

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! 🙏🏽
