A few examples of flights
Let's start with a great deal on a round-trip ticket on Singapore Air from Los Angeles (LAX) to Manila (MNL) in February: only $781.
We liked that the layovers were not too long, in addition to the significant price reduction for this trip.
Some of the better deals in this offer have lengthy layovers.
That is not the case with this one.
In November, we also spotted some good prices from Los Angeles to Manila, like as this Philippine Airlines ticket for $948.
While this fare is over $200 higher than the one we just showed you, it is nonstop on a Boeing 777.
So, if saving a few bucks by travelling direct is worth it to you — and this is still a great deal compared to average airfares — this one might be for you.
In the fall, there is a lot of availability on sale tickets from LA to CEB.
In September, Philippine Airlines is offering a great round-trip ticket for only $948.
In October and November, we found similar costs, although many of those routes had two or even three stops.
United offers a $1,122 round-trip flight from Newark (EWR) to Cebu.
If you want to take advantage of the sale pricing, you'll almost certainly have to make two stops each way if you fly from Newark to Cebu.
Is there any hope?
United's ticket includes a free carry-on bag as well as a free first checked bag.
If you opt to travel out of New York City's Kennedy Airport (JFK), you'll have a similar alternative.
Singapore Air has some fantastic prices to Manila, including a handful in February for less than $800 round ticket, but you should expect two layovers.
Finally, in early November, we discovered a good deal on a Turkish Airlines ticket from Miami (MIA) to Manila.
This fare includes a complimentary checked bag, further reducing the cost.
