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.

  • What is the cheapest flight from Manila to Dubai?

    In the last 3 days, the lowest price for a flight from Manila to Dubai was $135 for a one-way ticket and $265 for a round-trip.

  • Do I need a passport to fly between Manila and Dubai?

  • 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.

KAYAK’s 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 $339 or less one-way and $356 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.

Very pleasant.The crews are very helpful.Food are very good.

Wifi was not operational for the whole trip. Other than this, flight was well received .

The seating is spaced out nicely, The crew could have offer more drinks.

Premium Economy is not worth the extra money you pay. You are neither economy nor business. The seat doesn’t recline enough to relax your legs. Maneuvering while seated is cumbersome. Don’t recommend Premium Economy at all.

Emirates is superb service. The A380 was very comfortable. The cabin crew is really helpful

Premium Economy was not up to my expectation relaxation wise. The chair doesn’t extend enough. It is not economy but not spacious enough to relax and sleep. Food and services were excellent but I am not very keen about food in general.

Food no so good. Extra charge to much for front seats cost me £163 then other people sat near me for nothing 🤬

First time and very memorable, the finest flying experience ive ever had

Everything I was good except food quality is very poor

We arrived in line for check in at 6:15 p.m. but did not check in until 8:00 p.m. The line for economy check in was very long, and all of the desks 03-13 were not open, although most of them opened sporadically. The crew on board were very nice and helpful, friendly and kind. It has been many years since we flew Emirates (at least 17 years), and we notice that foot rests are no longer available in economy, but we were lucky enough to fly in the upper deck and appreciate your opening some of your flights to economy passengers in the upper deck. We will definitely fly on emirates more often! Thank you.

Short staffs, I ask stewardess to bring me cognac twice during dinner but they didn't bring it!

The food and service was great. You have to pay a lot for in flight Internet though which is lame.

Flight was delayed at the last minute for six hours. Instead of delaying it to a normal hour, they moved it to 10 pm to essentially make it a redeye. There was no compensation or benefit offered for this inconvenience. Once on the plane, Inpaid for WiFi twice with both times it not working because of a “weak WiFi signal”, according to the flight attendants. They also chose the farther possible gates in both airports from the entrance/exit, even though they were one of the few active flights left so late in the evening. Overall it was pretty horrible.

Special request meals are really below average. Vegetarian options are very limited if you didn't prebook.

So so, crew was overly professional and lacks human touch. Equipment is very old, especially the HKG-PVG CX366 flight. That plane along with its decor must have twenty years of history, or at least I had that impression.

very professional and very attentive to my Special Needs as I required a Wheel Chair and assistance to board

Crew was great. But a bit understaffed. The business class seat, etc were dated. But comfortable. Some legs had entertainment system from a decade ago. Selections were rather poor. Food was mediocre at best. Actually poor for business class standards. I liked the lounge in Hong Kong. Showers were great. Food was nice.

Everything was fine and I have no complaints or things to note.

It was okay overall but the food was very, very bad.

When comes to Taiwan airlines China airlines is the best rest are pure trash

Wow very impressed by the quality and attentiveness of service of China Southern. Lived the blankets! Will definitely fly with them again. Despite language barriers, a few attendants know enough English to understand our rudimentary Mandarin and respond to basic questions. Although they don’t explain the beverage and meal service on the website or ticketing documents, they offered regular beverage cart and snacks during the beginning hours and end hours of the long, transoceanic flight. A full meal at the beginning and end of the flight as well, and a midflight small sandwich (dinner roll sized) but we weren’t hungry and didn’t try that one. The expectation is that every sleeps during the middle of the flight. We were on a “redeye” departure from LAX with a morning arrival in China, so I don’t know if this service pattern is the same for other flights. The domestic flight we took from Guangzhou to Harbin offered conventional refreshments and meals like a US flight service. Note that they didn’t offer diet sodas. If you like to stay hydrated, I recommend bringing plenty of your own. It is served in small cups like any other drink. You can ask for a bottle but they’re tiny - about 6 ounces.

China Southern was not the problem. I booked my flight through Kayak and also received a booking reference and alert details regarding departure time and gate numbers… however Kayak NEVER actually booked my flight! We were stranded at the airport without a flight for a long awaited holiday!

The connection between LA and Atlanta was too much stress

Terrible boarding experience,,food is very poor that I I . Never going book this airline again.

The crew were kind, patient and responsive. The service was excellent, even though we travelled the cheapest economy class. We arrived at our destination 40 min early, which for a 15+ hour flight is a great bonus. The boarding seemed a bit "loose", but got us boarded on time, and the plane was off exactly @ 0:30 hrs.

The airport didn‘t give me the ticket. I called customer service to ask for a refund but they kept giving me a perfunctory response and refused to refund me.

The flight was delayed hours and most flights from CS are always delayed. Plane was efficient and got us home but not the best food and no entertainment system at all.

Not good - chair back could not move back for premium economy. Not worth the price

The back of the chair - premium economy could not move back - not worth the price

It was okay. Boarding the staff made you feel rushed like we were late or something

Theairline, both at the terminal and during the entirety of the flight were kept at uncomfortably cold temps. Maybe between 55 and 60 f. Those who had traveled with the airline before donned puffer jackets, wool hats and pulled blankets from their carry-on bags. The seat back entertainment also failed on my trip, leaving me for 12 hrs. With nothing. Seats offered enough room (barely) for a 6'1" frame, but it was pretty tight But the worst offender was the uncomfortable temp..

Purchased exit row window seat for extra leg room and sleep. Worth the price. Attendants maintained restrooms regularly. No snacks/chips/nuts/cookies beyond what was served with meals.

Delayed, from morning flight, they moved to evening. And said, their earlier flight is already full but we can upgrade the seat

Manila airport is a dump. Very dirty and not comfortable at all

Not so good, my business seat is not working properly

Well it's strange everytime going the flight is late coming back the service is superior

Going to Dumaguette 4 times in a row I was late it's terrible

The flight to GES MNL sucks, there was no entertainment. There was no footrest. So the business class seat was not comfortable.

I can't complain. Flying with Philippines airlines was the best choice. They are the best option in the Philippines.

Flight left and arrived on time. Preloading area in Manila could use some help. Area needs to be bigger to at least seat the passengers while waiting. Crew is great nonstop to MNL is a game changer.

I had excellent experienced flying with Cebu Pacific on my domestic flight. However, no food and beverage serve might be due to short travel time of 40 minutes.

No entertainment and not expected. Cabin was very cold which brought the comfort score down

Your check in lines were terrible everything else was great!

flight cancelled.. booked through orbitz, yet orbitz won't handle refunds.. never use them again..

It arrived 18 minutes early. Attendant are good. For baording , they should improve especially carrying thru bus.

Super delayed. Delayed to get the bus, delayed to get off the bus, delayed to take off.

exceptionally good with the particular flight because no delay. hope that happens for every flight

Boarding had us in a tunnel with no AC for 15 minutes. Not planned well. And you have to pay for water, get at airport

Kind of worried due to typhoon but yeah we can't do about nature thing. So okay naman kudos to all crews and pilots for the safe landing.

it was good experience though we wait for a minutes in the railday due to no available parking. Keep it up all..
