How do I find cheap flights from Singapore to Manila?

Cheap Singapore to Manila flights come from a simple routine: flexible dates, a like-for-like comparison and going through ShopBack before you pay. It is a short regional route, so the day you fly and the fare type often move the price more than the site you book on.

1. Search a whole month. Use a whole-month or cheapest-month view on Skyscanner or Trip.com to see which days are cheapest.
2. Avoid the busiest dates where you can. Fares out of Singapore usually rise during the June and year-end school holidays and around long weekends and public holidays.
3. Compare the same flight in two or three places. Check the identical flight and fare type on Skyscanner, Trip.com and the airline's own site.
4. Compare like for like. A low-cost fare without checked baggage can look cheaper than a fare that includes it. Add bags, seats and meals before comparing.
5. Count what comes back. Save on your trip by booking flights, hotels and activities through ShopBack.
6. Go through ShopBack before you pay. Open ShopBack Singapore, tap through to the site, and book.

Singapore to Manila flight: who flies it

Singapore Airlines and Scoot both fly from Singapore to Manila, and Philippine airlines serve the route too. Singapore Airlines' own route list, at the time of writing, shows both Singapore Airlines and Scoot flights to Manila, Cebu and Clark (Clark by Scoot only).

Route from Singapore	Airlines in the Singapore Airlines group	Notes
Manila (MNL)	Singapore Airlines and Scoot	Philippine airlines also fly this route
Cebu (CEB)	Singapore Airlines and Scoot	Good for Visayas island trips
Clark (CRK)	Scoot	North of Manila, in Pampanga

Source: Singapore Airlines' Where We Fly page, at the time of writing. Routes and schedules change, so check your dates.

Full-service or low-cost? Singapore Airlines fares usually include checked baggage and meals, while Scoot sells a base fare and lets you add bags, seats and meals. For a weekend in Manila with a backpack, a low-cost fare is often cheapest. For a longer stay with a suitcase, compare both after adding bags.

Singapore to Manila flight in Singapore 2026: when fares tend to be higher

In 2026, Singapore to Manila fares are usually higher when many people travel at once. That means the June school holidays, November and December, long weekends in Singapore, and big holidays in the Philippines such as Christmas and the Holy Week break. Flying midweek and booking a few weeks ahead usually helps on short regional routes, but check your own dates.

To see the pattern for your trip, use a whole-month view rather than a single date. For more on timing, see the cheapest day of the week to buy flight tickets.

Singapore to Manila flight best deals in Singapore 2026

The best Singapore to Manila deals in 2026 usually come from airline seat sales, booking-site promotions and choosing the right fare type:

• Airline seat sales. Airlines run their own sales on their sites and apps from time to time. Sign up for alerts if you are flexible.
• Booking-site promotions. Trip.com and other sites run their own promotions.
• Fare type. The cheapest fare is not always the cheapest trip once bags and seats are added.
• Going through ShopBack before you book. ShopBack lowers the effective price of flights, hotels and online orders after you pay.

Trip.com vs Cebu Pacific: Singapore to Manila flight price comparison 2026

Trip.com and an airline's own site can show different totals for the same flight, so compare them on the same dates, fare type and baggage. Cebu Pacific, a Philippine airline, sells fares on its own site. Trip.com has a page on ShopBack Singapore, so you can go through ShopBack before you book there.

	Trip.com	An airline's own site, such as Cebu Pacific
What you can compare	Several airlines on one search	That airline's fares and its own sales
Extras	Add flights, hotels and activities in one account	Bags, seats and meals sold by the airline
ShopBack	Go through ShopBack first	Compare its fare with the Trip.com effective price

How to compare fairly. Price the same flight number, fare type and bag allowance on both. Then subtract what ShopBack returns on the Trip.com booking. A store that looks a little dearer can work out cheaper once ShopBack's money back is counted.

Trip.com, Cebu Pacific and Skyscanner for Singapore to Manila flights

Trip.com sells flights, Skyscanner searches them, and the airline's own site sells its own fares.

• Trip.com is a booking site that sells flights, hotels and activities. You book and pay on Trip.com.

Singapore Airlines and Scoot both fly from Singapore to Cebu, according to Singapore Airlines' route list. Search a whole month, compare the same flight on Trip.com and the airline's site, and add bags before you compare.

What are the best things to do in Manila on a short trip?

On a short Manila trip, start with Intramuros, the old walled city, then add a food walk and an evening in one of the business districts. A two or three day plan that suits most first-timers:

• Intramuros and Fort Santiago. The Intramuros Administration, the government agency that manages the walled city, holds events at Fort Santiago and runs free walking tours on set dates. Check its events calendar before you go.
• Binondo. Manila's Chinatown is known for food walks and small family-run eateries.
• Makati and Bonifacio Global City. Malls, restaurants and nightlife, and a common base for hotels.
• Day trips. Tours outside the city, such as to Taal in Batangas, are sold on activity sites. Compare pick-up times and what is included.

Things to do in Cebu, and which island tours are worth booking

In Cebu City, visitors often see Magellan's Cross and the Basilica Minore del Santo Nino, and many add an island hopping day from Mactan. When you compare island tours, check:

• What is included. Boat, lunch, snorkel gear and entrance or environmental fees vary by tour.
• Pick-up point and time. Hotel pick-up saves time but can cost more.
• Group size. Private boats cost more but give you more flexibility.
• Cancellation terms. Weather can change sea conditions, so read what happens if a tour is cancelled.

Activity sites such as Klook list Cebu tours with these details on each listing.

Is Fairmont Makati worth it for a Manila trip?

Fairmont Makati can be worth it if you want a full-service hotel in Makati's business and shopping district. According to Fairmont at the time of writing:

• The hotel has 280 rooms and suites, at 1 Raffles Drive, Makati Avenue.
• It is about 12 km, or roughly a 15-minute drive, from Ninoy Aquino International Airport.
• It has an outdoor pool on the fourth floor (6 am to 10 pm), a spa and a fitness centre.
• Check-in is from 3 pm and check-out is at 11 am.
• On its own site, no cancellation charge applies before 6 pm local time up to one day before arrival; after that, the first night is charged.

Room rates change by date, so compare the same room type, dates and cancellation terms across the hotel's site and booking sites such as Agoda, Booking.com and Trip.com before you book.

How to work out what your Manila trip really costs

The effective price is what you pay minus what ShopBack returns. Here is a worked example with illustrative fares (not real fares):

	Site A	Site B
Same return flight, same fare type	S$260	S$255
20 kg checked bag	Included	S$15
You pay	S$260	S$270

In this illustrative example, Site B shows the lower fare, but Site A is cheaper once the bag is added, and going through ShopBack before you pay lowers it again. Check the live rate on each ShopBack page before you book.
