Manila Flights Starting at C$502

The capital city of the Philippines, Manila, is the economic and cultural home of the small, bustling island nation and the gateway to all its treasures. Home to civilization since at least the 10th century and located on picturesque Manila Bay, this city has tons of activities and attractions and is a great choice as a home base for any Southeast Asia adventure. And thanks to Travelocity, cheap flights to Manila via Ninoy Aquino International Airport (MNL) are easy to procure and make exploring the Philippine Islands the perfect trip for adventurers of all kinds.

Transportation from MNL

One of the first things you’ll want to do after your Manila flight’s arrival, is figure out how you’re going to get around this incredible city. Hotels near Ninoy Aquino International Airport are a great choice if you're looking for a high-class stay without any transportation hassle. That’s because many of these hotels offer complimentary 24-hour shuttle service to and from the airport. And with daily flights to Manila, it's easy to get in and out of the city at your convenience. If you plan on staying in Manila's downtown area, which is usually a 30-minute drive away depending on traffic, several options for ground transportation are available. Taxis are common, but we'd recommend avoiding any drivers who try to solicit you and only taking prepaid, metered, or official cabs available inside the airport. Some of the bigger downtown hotels will book you a private car, which gives you more freedom of movement, but tends to be more expensive than a taxi. Alternately, you can ask for a private car yourself inside the terminal. Public transit is also available via the Manila Light Rail Transit System, the city's metropolitan rail system. The nearest station is Baclaran Station, which is a short taxi ride from the airport.
