There are some incredible flight deals available for travel to the Philippines this spring. Hurry, though: Fares like this tend to get snatched up quickly and likely won’t be around for long.
Your best bet would be to book as soon as you find dates at the right price, before someone else gets those fares for that day.
Prices/Availability
At the time of publication, flights are available from New York City (JFK), Chicago, Los Angeles, and Seattle. However, if you live elsewhere, consider looking for a cheap positioning flight to one of these cities in order to take advantage of the sale.
There’s a pretty wide range of prices in this deal, generally going from the low-$ 400s through the high $ 500s, depending on departure city and date. I even found a few dates from New York with fares in the low $ 600s that I would consider part of this sale.
The flights are operated by any of a few major airlines, including United, ANA All Nippon Airways, EVA Air, China Eastern Airlines, or Asiana Airlines.
Normally for this time of year, the average price for flights would be in the $ 900s and higher.
Dates
Flight availability varies by origin city, but is generally good in April and May, 2018, with a few dates also available in March. A few examples available at publication include flights from New York from April 5–20 for $ 583, Los Angeles from May 2–13 for $ 415, Chicago from April 23–May 2 for $ 534, and Seattle from April 26–May 4 for $ 580.
Booking
To get the best prices, click the link here or below to visit the online travel-booking site Momondo. Then, enter your nearest major airport and adjust the dates as needed to find the right prices, and click the link to book through the portal showing the best price.
Keep in mind that I was only able to pull up these prices by searching Momondo, which is my go-to site for flight discounts — you can read more about it here. I wasn’t necessarily able to find the same prices directly with the airlines or through other tools like Google Flights and Priceline.
Also keep in mind that the absolute lowest-priced flight may include a long layover. You may be able to take advantage of this to spend a day or night visiting another city, or you can look for a slightly pricier — but still discounted — flight with a shorter stop.
Good luck and happy travels!
