This is the perfect time to explore the country’s islands, beaches, and buzzing capital city as the monsoon season takes a break. To make the timing even sweeter, Philippine Airlines has launched its Ultimate Seat Sale, with fares from Dubai to Manila starting at just Dh1,260.

The promotion is open for bookings until August 31, for travel up to October 31, giving UAE residents a window to plan their post-rainy season escape at a fraction of the usual cost.

Why Now is the Best Time to Visit

The end of the rainy season means the Philippines is at its most inviting, think clear skies, lush landscapes, and calm seas. It’s the ideal time to:

• Stroll the vibrant streets of Manila and discover its food and nightlife scene
• Escape to the postcard-perfect beaches of Boracay or Palawan
• Go diving in Cebu, known for whale sharks and world-class coral reefs
• Hike through Banaue’s rice terraces, a UNESCO World Heritage site

The Deals

• Economy Supersaver: From Dh1,260 one-way (Dh2,425 round-trip)
• Business Class: From Dh3,370 one-way (Dh6,655 round-trip)
• Business Flex: Dh9,825 round-trip

Compared with typical one-way economy fares that range from Dh1,973 to Dh2,425, this sale represents a big saving — making it an excellent opportunity for a quick getaway or even an extended family visit.

Travel Competition Heats Up

The offer follows Cebu Pacific’s flash sale earlier this month, which grabbed attention with base fares as low as Dh8 (excluding taxes and fees). For UAE-based Filipinos and leisure travellers alike, this surge of promotions means now is one of the most affordable times to fly to Manila.
