FAQs for booking flights from Manila to Dubai

  • How can I fly from Manila to Dubai?

    A few airlines are offering direct connections between Manila and Dubai. They include Philippine Airlines, Cebu Pacific, and Emirates. Other airlines serving the route have at least one layover included on the trip, and it is important to note that some connecting flights are cheaper than flying direct. Some of the potential layover options, if you choose to book connecting flights, include Bahrain with Gulf Air, Muscat when flying with Oman Air, and Guangzhou with China Southern.

  • How do I make my trip more sustainable?

    Avoid plastic bottles and cans during your flight and instead go for reusable bottles. You can also consider booking nonstop flights instead of connecting flights, since connecting flights will leave a higher carbon footprint because you cover a larger distance. Also, go for airlines that have adopted sustainability practices. For example, Etihad Airways has a lot of its flights in Abu Dhabi and are served by fully electric vehicles, and it is already trialing the use of sustainable aviation fuel for use on some of its flights.

  • Do I need a visa to get into Dubai?

    As long as you are traveling for tourist reasons and don’t plan on staying longer than 30 days, a visa will not be necessary. In case you plan on staying in the country longer, then you’ll have to visit the United Arab Emirates consulate for further help. A passport will be necessary, and you should make sure you have six months of validity left from the time you arrive in the country to avoid trouble with immigration.

  • How do I get from Dubai International Airport to my accommodation?

    The only transfer options from DXB to the city center are taxis and train. A taxi is far more convenient than using the train since it will drop you at your accommodation regardless of where it is located in the city. However, if you choose to take the train, you will be dropped at Burj Khalifa Station, from which you can either walk or find other means to get to your accommodation.

  • Which airlines offer Wi-Fi service onboard planes from Manila to Dubai?

    Lufthansa, KLM, and flydubai offer inflight Wi-Fi service on the Manila to Dubai flight route.

  • Which aircraft models fly most regularly from Manila to Dubai?

    The Boeing 777-300ER is the aircraft model that flies most regularly on the Manila to Dubai flight route.

  • On which days can I fly direct from Manila to Dubai?

    There are direct flights from Manila to Dubai on a daily basis.

  • How does KAYAK find such low prices on flights from Manila to Dubai?

    KAYAK is a travel search engine. That means we look across the web to find the best prices we can find for our users. With over 2 billion flight queries processed yearly, we are able to display a variety of prices and options on flights from Manila to Dubai.

    KAYAK’s flight Price Forecast tool uses historical data to determine whether the price for a flight to Dubai from Manila is likely to change within 7 days, so travelers know whether to wait or book now.

  • What is the Hacker Fare option on flights from Manila to Dubai?

    Hacker Fares allow you to combine one-way tickets in order to save you money over a traditional round-trip ticket. You could then fly to Dubai with an airline and back to Manila with another airline.

  • What is KAYAK's "flexible dates" feature and why should I care when looking for a flight from Manila to Dubai?

    Sometimes travel dates aren't set in stone. If your preferred travel dates have some wiggle room, flexible dates will show you all the options when flying to Dubai from Manila up to 3 days before/after your preferred dates. You can then pick the flights that suit you best.

Top tips for finding a cheap flight from Manila to Dubai

  • Looking for a cheap flight? 25% of our users found flights on this route for C$ 676 or less one-way and C$ 737 or less round-trip.
  • Travelers have the option of two landing airports in Dubai. You can either land at Dubai International Airport (DXB) or Sharjah International Airport (SHJ). DXB is closer to Dubai compared to SHJ and offers more connections to international destinations, but it is also busier and therefore has longer waiting times.
  • Ninoy Aquino International Airport (MNL) is the main hub for Philippine Airlines and Cebu Pacific. When flying out of this airport, these are good options to consider because they have more regular flights and charge lower prices compared to other airlines.
  • While there is a bus service from downtown Manila to Ninoy Aquino International Airport, a taxi is the best option when commuting to the airport. Buses are often overcrowded and highly affected by traffic.
  • When booking a solo ticket for your child, Philippine Airlines is a good option for this route. It has an unaccompanied minors service, which is designed to make sure that your child is safe and secure for the whole trip when not accompanied by a parent.
  • It is worth noting that of the popular airlines serving this route, Philippine Airlines has the best baggage allowance for economy passengers, with two checked bags compared to Emirates, which has an allowance of one checked bag, and Cebu Pacific which only allows one carry-on for free.

Flight was delayed and no information was provided what was new time Change gate 3 times at Madina airport First gate was 113 Second gate was 204 And last gate was 113 again

Flight was delayed and no information was provided what was new time Change gate 3 times at Madina airport First gate was 113 Second gate was 204 And last gate was 113 again

Emirates is always great experience, however, they should reopen their lounge in Istanbul. The IGA lounge is not worth it

I liked everything accept the delay try to improve in that area

Same problem with very poor food. Gluten free options can taste great, there is not reason to be give suboptimal meals in this situation.

Flights were both delayed. No luggage on arrival for the whole plane and no contact since submitting a PIR.

Flight got canceled without any prior information and it caused lot of trouble

Nice selection of movies and TV shows. Plane was generally nice, not the newest but nice nonetheless. However, Emirates should have cancelled the flight, as hardly any flights flew out of Dubai at the time. Flight delays and cancellation was poorly communicated and passengers were left guessing and to their own devices on what to do. Connection desks were staffed too thinly, there was one desk with more than a hundred clients and just one poor lady. When I had my flights rebooked, I was told meal vouchers can be scanned using my boarding pass, nope. Was told to comeback for my hotel voucher, none. Had to book my hotel voucher the usual way through Dubai Connect despite having been told twice to comeback to the counters twice.

On the Dubai-Gatwick flight the only meal options were Beef or Chicken. No vegetarian option. This was a surprise. I would usually order in advance but did not this time. Would have been good to know that a vegetarian meal is not available as a standard meal. Thankfully it was just me travelling, but if I’d had my kids with me that would have been a big problem for us.

My Experience was ok. But the gentleman next to me vaped the whole flight and the attendants did nothing, whether they were aware, I’m not sure.

Flight from Dubai to Zagreb very bad cabin crew. Bad food

Upgrade their seats. They’ve got 20-year-old business class seats in their 777s. The food choices. On the way to Manila and the way back I thought we’re lousy compared to other carriers. The staff was fantastic and very happy.

Continual rescheduling of flights, inflight entertainment system did not work, staff not pleasant to interact with.

So far pal express is much better than Cebu pacific in terms of customers service and in flight crew. And on time departure and arrival . Especially if you're taking airbus 320 plane . But the small aircraft like bombardier . It usually delayed .

We did booked shorter layovers but flights changed and layovers are too long good thing Philippine Airlines give us a hotel in manila but here Vancouver to Calgary too long layovers and there is enough sets to wait closer to air canada and they will open 4am.we were here 1 am .our flights schedule for air canada 8:10am.we paid expensive flights but not happy of lay over Vancouver to Calgary.

Biz class is way below what other airlines offer. The food was mediocre at best. A WiFi was intermittent and movies were dated. Honestly the best part of the trip was that the Mabuhay lounge in SFO was closed and they gave us pass to Air France lounge. My advise, fill up there before boarding plane.

Not a pleasant experience from the start of booking first flight all the way through to the actually flight. Only saving grace is the food.

No power on an 11 hour flight? What a joke. Crew did not come by enough to get trash or offer water.

Checking in was okay but boarding a little bit slow

There is a problem with the sound while watching movie or listening to the music ( the sound is static & goes on and off). Aside from the sound, the experience was good & stewardesses are nice.

Not leave 12 hours late. This airline is horrible always late does not refund upgrades for cancelled flights inept counter staff.. needs to be shutdown

The seats are too cramped, there is barely enough room to shift weight. This could be easy to endure in a one-hour flight, but not more than that. The crew did not clean up shortly after meals. The tray table remained open because of the meal and ate up what is left of the little seating space. The crew were just idling by for 45 minutes before they collected the trash. The airline did not inspect carry-on luggage. Most of the passengers brought too many bags, too large and/or over the weight limit. This undermines safety and discourages those who pay extra for checked bags just to comply with the airline regulations. If the airline is not inspecting carry-on luggage, why should I pay more just to check in some bags?

Terrible, I will never ever ever attempt to fly on Cebu Pacific. I understand that it’s a cheap flight option but they take cheap experience to the next level.

The front desk and early check in was fantastic and the flight did not have any turbulence

better handling of the checked in luggage. they destroyed mine

Should’ve not separated those who checked-in online and those who checked-in at the airport

the process of paying for the excess baggage weight, the check in process and the boarding process are subhuman. this is an airline devoid of customer service

Cebu Pac has a habit of changing boarding gates. They do a lot of remote boarding. So just be attentive to the announcements, especially if it's near your boarding time.

It was a low cost flight, so no high expectations. The experience was average.

Crew was very helpful because I used a wheelchair to get around

Flight was delayed for almost 30 minutea, I had difficulties to catch up the connecting flight. Bit due to tje well organized Singapore airport I was able to make it
