When this route gets cheap.
The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes 2 stops and takes about 21.5 hours outbound, on a 7-night trip — ticketed under United, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $530 for 13,728 km each way, that works out to about $19 per 1,000 km flown. That is well under the $42 per 1,000 km that ultra-long-haul fares on this board typically run. Across the 22 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Manila, this fare ranks 6th — 22% above the $435 from San Francisco. It is also the 2nd cheapest of the 30 routes of similar length we watch out of Houston. We have 2 months of cached prices for this route so far — not enough to call a fare cheap or expensive, so we publish the price without a percentage. Fare history here is still too short to name a cheap season. The best time to be in Manila: Dec–Apr.

The median cached fare across this calendar is 19% lower than when tracking began on 8 Aug — $1,156 then versus $933 now, across 18 recorded snapshots. This is a calendar-level trend, so an individual deal above can be lower. The lowest single day we have seen here is $469, on 3 Sep.
These are the only days we have a cached price for on this route so far — not the only days it flies. The search above covers any date.

Good to know
HOU → MNL, answered.
How far in advance should I book HOU → 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We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet.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. Our guide Why flight prices change covers the levers we can measure.
Are there nonstop flights from Houston to Manila?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under United. We hold no nonstop fare on this route right now, which does not mean none flies — search your exact dates to see what does.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No — these are cached fares found on real searches (this one on 17 October). 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.
