Cached-fare history: across 4 months, Dec is the cheapest for DEL → MNL. Best time to be there: Dec–Apr.
Fares bottom out in December around $327 and peak in September near $469 — a $142 spread across the 4 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes one stop and takes about 7.5 hours outbound, on a 12-night trip — ticketed under Vietnam Airlines, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $327 for 4,755 km each way, that works out to about $34 per 1,000 km flown. That is below the $39 typical of medium-haul fares here. That puts it in the cheaper half of the 32 routes of similar length we watch out of Delhi, where the middle fare is $480.

Across 4 months of cached-fare history, Dec comes out cheapest on this route. The best months to actually be in Manila are Dec–Apr — when those overlap, that's your window.
How far in advance should I book DEL → Manila?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet. Answering it honestly means watching the same departure date on this route over many weeks as it approaches, and that archive is still filling up — so any "book N days ahead" figure here would be borrowed from somewhere else rather than measured. What we can measure is which month is cheap: across 4 months of cached fares, Dec comes out lowest on this route. See /guides/what-moves-a-flight-price/ for what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from Delhi to Manila?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under Vietnam Airlines. Nonstop options exist on many dates at higher prices — check the live search for your exact dates.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No — these are cached fares found on real searches (this one on September 1). Airlines reprice constantly, so the booking search re-checks the live price before you pay. Fresher finds are far more likely to still be available.
