When this route gets cheap.
Fares bottom out in October around $495 and peak in December near $2,004, 305% dearer, across the 5 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes one stop and takes about 22.5 hours outbound, on a 19-night trip — ticketed under Etihad, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $495 for 13,673 km each way, that works out to about $18 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 23 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Manila, this fare ranks 4th — 14% above the $435 from San Francisco. It is also the 3rd cheapest of the 31 routes of similar length we watch out of New York. The best time to be in Manila: Dec–Apr.

Good to know
NYC → MNL, answered.
Is $495 a good price for New York to Manila?
Yes — the seasonal median for this route is around $870 round-trip. At $495 you're 43% below that, which we rate rare for this route.
What is the cheapest month to fly from New York to Manila?
Across 5 months of cached-fare history, Oct 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 NYC → 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We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet.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 5 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 New York to Manila?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under Etihad. 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.
