Airlines flying from Manila to Dubai

Who flies from Manila to Dubai? Emirates, Philippine Airlines and Cebu Pacific. Between them the route runs several flights a day. We compare their fares, timings and baggage for your dates and send the two or three that make sense, not a list of fifty.

• Emirates - Manila to Dubai
• Philippine Airlines - Manila to Dubai
• Cebu Pacific - Manila to Dubai

Departure: Manila International Airport (MNL)

Your journey starts at Manila International Airport (MNL). We tell you the terminal for your airline, when check-in and bag drop close, and whether the airport has fast-track security worth booking. Metro Manila has elevated rail lines and buses, but they are crowded and do not serve the airport terminals directly; airport taxis and ride-hailing cars wait outside, and traffic can turn a 10 km drive into an hour. A private car with a driver who knows the expressways is the easiest choice with luggage, for late flights or for day trips to Tagaytay and Clark.

• Check the baggage included in your fare - we tell you before you book
• Haqqi Tours arranges a private transfer from your accommodation in Manila to Manila International Airport
• Let us know about the terminal and fast-track options at Manila International Airport
• Arrive about 2 hours before an international departure, 90 minutes before a domestic one

Arrival: Dubai International Airport (DXB) and getting into Dubai

Arrival is at Dubai International Airport (DXB), and the first decision is how to reach the city. Dubai is the Gulf's global city, a 50 km line of towers and marinas along the coast; Dubai International (DXB) sits close to the old Creek districts, about 15 km from Downtown and the Burj Khalifa and 35 km from the Marina, while Al Maktoum (DWC) lies far to the south near Expo City. We provide airport transfers in Dubai with a driver at arrivals, and we also tell you honestly if the train or metro from the airport is the better choice for where you are staying.

Many travellers continue from Dubai to somewhere else. We provide those tickets too, so one WhatsApp conversation covers the whole itinerary.

Baggage, seats and classes on the Manila to Dubai flight

Baggage is the item that most often changes the real cost of a flight from Manila to Dubai. Full-service fares usually include a checked bag and a cabin bag; low-cost fares start with a small cabin bag and add the rest. We tell you the allowance of the fare we send, and whether adding a suitcase at booking is cheaper than at the airport (it almost always is). Seats can be selected on most airlines for a fee or free at check-in; in economy and business the differences are space, meals and flexibility.

• Adding baggage at booking is cheaper than at the airport - we add it for you
• Seat selection free or paid depending on the airline; families seated together on request
• Infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced fare; children have their own seat and fare
• Meals included on full-service airlines; special meals ordered in advance on request

Flying with children, families and groups from Manila to Dubai

Families fly the Manila to Dubai route with us week in, week out. Infants under two travel on a lap at a small fare; children have a seat and a child fare where the carrier offers one; pushchairs are checked free at the gate on most airlines. We seat the family together, order children's meals where they exist and choose a departure time that suits nap and bedtime. For groups, we book the seats in one reservation and ask the airline for a group fare where the numbers justify it.

Things to do in Dubai when you land

Dubai is the Gulf's global city, a 50 km line of towers and marinas along the coast; Dubai International (DXB) sits close to the old Creek districts, about 15 km from Downtown and the Burj Khalifa and 35 km from the Marina, while Al Maktoum (DWC) lies far to the south near Expo City. The reasons passengers fly from Manila to Dubai include Global Village in season, a desert safari at sunset, Miracle Garden, the Burj Khalifa and Dubai Fountain and Dubai Mall and the Aquarium. For the first meal, try Friday brunch on the Marina, Lebanese mezze in Jumeirah and karak tea by the road.

Haqqi Tours can provide guided tours, tickets, airport transfers and private drivers in Dubai; ask when you book the flight and we send the options.

Best time to fly from Manila to Dubai

November to March is the pleasant season; summer is very hot and humid, which is when a cool car at the door matters most. Sheikh Zayed Road is slowest on weekday evenings. On the flight from Manila to Dubai, seasons show in fares more than in schedules: holiday departures fill first, so we recommend booking early for summer, Christmas, New Year, Eid and Easter journeys.

Return flight from Dubai to Manila

The Dubai to Manila flight is the same route in reverse, about 9 hours 30 minutes. Haqqi Tours provides the return ticket in the same conversation; if you are not yet sure of the return date, we can book a flexible outbound or wait, and explain which is cheaper.

How much is a flight from Manila to Dubai?

The cost of a flight from Manila to Dubai depends on the date, the time of day, the carrier, the fare class and how far ahead you book. Airlines sell seats in tiers that rise as the plane fills, so the same seat can cost several times more on a holiday weekend than on a quiet Tuesday. That is why Haqqi Tours does not print a price on this page: we verify the live fares for your exact date across every airline on the route and send you the real cost through WhatsApp, with the options side by side.

The figure we send is the total: ticket, taxes and the baggage included in that fare. If a departure two hours earlier is cheaper, or a different airline includes a suitcase for the same money, we say so, because the cheapest Manila to Dubai flight is often not the one at the top of a search.

Cheapest flight from Manila to Dubai: how to pay less

Finding cheap flights from Manila to Dubai is timing plus flexibility. Here is how Haqqi Tours finds the lowest fare on the route:

• Fly mid-week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures are normally cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday
• Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which often carry the lowest fares
• Let us know if your dates are flexible - moving by a day can change the fare a lot
• Pack to the fare: a hand-luggage-only ticket is cheaper if you do not need a checked bag
• Compare airlines - on this route the cheapest carrier changes from day to day
• Book both directions together when a return fare is cheaper than two singles, which we check

When you complete the form, mention if you can move your dates. We scan the fares around them and send the cheapest Manila to Dubai flight first, then the alternatives.
