When this route gets cheap.
Fares bottom out in October around $178 and peak in January near $253, 42% dearer, across the 4 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes one stop and takes about 6 hours outbound, on a 2-night trip — ticketed under Scoot, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $178 for 1,612 km each way, that works out to about $55 per 1,000 km flown. That is above the $41 per 1,000 km typical of short-haul fares here. Across the 4 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Ho Chi Minh City, this fare ranks 2nd — 13% above the $157 from Guangzhou. The best time to be in Ho Chi Minh City: Dec–Mar.

Good to know
MNL → SGN, answered.
Is $178 a good price for Manila to Ho Chi Minh City?
Yes — the seasonal median for this route is around $255 round-trip. At $178 you're 30% below that, which we rate great for this route.
What is the cheapest month to fly from Manila to Ho Chi Minh City?
Across 4 months of cached-fare history, Oct comes out cheapest on this route. The best months to actually be in Ho Chi Minh City are Dec–Mar — when those overlap, that's your window.
How far in advance should I book MNL → Ho Chi Minh City?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet.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, Oct comes out lowest on this route. Our guide Why flight prices change covers what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from Manila to Ho Chi Minh City?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under Scoot. 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.
