Me and my mum are going to the Philippines for my mum’s little sister’s wedding. We’re also there for holidays. We need a return flight that’s between $350 and $1250. We’re looking for a flight between these flexible dates of departing on December 23 and returning January 15. Thank you!
You have given a wide range of dates for departure but your dates are all within the peak travel period. So you are travelling at the most expensive time of the year.
If you want cheap flights, is it possible for you to wait until February?
The cheapest carrier is usually Philippine Airlines. They do a loop from Manila to Melbourne then Sydney then to Manila. So it is quicker going to the Philippines than coming home.
However, if you are happy to take several flights and have delays between flights. Check out deals with Tiger airways.
Also, have you built up frequent flyer points shopping at coles or by using credit cards. I get a free return flight with Qantas from Sydney to Manila every few years, just by frequent flyer points from shopping.
