Hello Members!
Nice sale for flights to the Philippines.
Fly from Athens to Manila with Ethiopian Airlines from approximately €426 round-trip.
The itinerary includes two stops in each direction, travelling through Addis Ababa and Hong Kong. The fare includes cabin baggage and an excellent allowance of two checked bags weighing up to 23 kg each. Seven date combinations are available between August and November 2026.
Deal details
- Route: Athens–Addis Ababa–Hong Kong–Manila

Recommended booking option
The lowest fare is available with Mytrip or Gotogate through Skyscanner Ireland from approximately €426, using an English-language booking flow.
Ethiopian Airlines can also be selected directly from the same Skyscanner results from approximately €457—only around €31 more. For such a long multi-sector journey, the direct airline ticket may be worth the small additional cost for easier assistance with changes, baggage questions or disruption.
Open your preferred date below and compare all three booking options before paying.

Each link opens a prepared Skyscanner Ireland search. Select the Ethiopian Airlines itinerary and confirm the final price, seller and 2 × 23 kg checked-baggage allowance before completing payment.
Important transit information
This is not a one-stop itinerary. The flights travel through both Addis Ababa and Hong Kong in each direction.
Before booking, confirm:
- Whether passengers remain onboard in Hong Kong or complete a normal airport transit
- Whether checked baggage is tagged through to Manila
- Whether any transit documentation applies to your nationality
- The exact connection times on the selected dates
The reference itinerary takes approximately 21 hours 40 minutes outbound and 22 hours 25 minutes returning, which is relatively manageable for a two-stop journey at this price.
Why this deal stands out
A return price from approximately €426 is exceptional for full-service flights from Europe to the Philippines, especially with 46 kg of checked baggage included.
The strongest advantages are:
- Outstanding headline price
- Two 23 kg checked bags
- Cabin baggage included
- Ethiopian Airlines throughout
- Direct-airline ticket available for only around €31 more
- Useful stays ranging from 12 to 23 nights
- Sensible evening arrival in Manila
The main compromise is the two-stop routing, which makes the journey more tiring than the one-stop Gulf Air deal previously found from Athens.
Where to stay in Manila
For most travellers, three nights in Manila provide the best balance. Keep the first evening relaxed after the long journey, use one day to explore historic Manila and spend another discovering Makati or Bonifacio Global City before continuing to the islands.
Recommended areas include:
- Makati: best overall for hotels, restaurants, shopping and nightlife
- Bonifacio Global City: modern, organised and pedestrian-friendly
- Intramuros and Ermita: best for history, museums and traditional sightseeing
- Pasay and Entertainment City: practical before an early domestic flight
Manila traffic can make short distances surprisingly slow, so choose the hotel area according to your main activities and onward airport terminal.
Featured hotel: City Garden Grand Hotel
The original deal highlighted City Garden Grand Hotel in Makati.
The hotel was shown with:
- Guest rating: 8.8/10
- More than 4,500 guest reviews
- Staff rating: 9.4/10
- Approximately 28 m² Standard King Room
- Rooftop swimming pool with Makati skyline views
- Fitness centre
- Spa and wellness services
- Restaurant, bar and room service
- Central Makati location
A sample stay from 30 August–2 September 2026 was displayed from approximately €184 for three nights and two adults, or around €61 per room per night. This was a non-refundable advance-payment offer. Flexible rates were shown from approximately €239, while breakfast could be added for around €14 per person.

Suggested Philippines itineraries
12-night trip
Manila: three nights → Bohol or Boracay: five nights → Palawan or Cebu: three nights → final night near Manila Airport
16-night trip
Manila: three nights → El Nido or Coron: five nights → Cebu and Bohol: six nights → final two nights in Manila
20- to 23-night trip
The longest options provide enough time to combine Palawan, Cebu, Bohol and Boracay, although too many separate flights and ferries can make the holiday feel rushed.
Keep at least one final night in Manila before the international departure, particularly when returning from another island on a separate domestic ticket.
Excursions and activities in the Philippines
The Philippines offers far more than beaches. Travellers can explore historic Manila, join local food tours, visit waterfalls and volcanic landscapes, or book island-hopping trips through some of Southeast Asia’s most impressive coastal scenery.
Popular experiences include:
- El Nido and Coron island-hopping
- Snorkelling and diving around Cebu and Bohol
- Chocolate Hills and countryside tours
- Kawasan Falls excursions
- Boracay sunset cruises
- Intramuros and Binondo food tours
- Underground River trips in Palawan
- Whale-shark and marine-life experiences with responsible operators
Booking selected excursions in advance can make transport and planning easier, particularly when boat capacity or park permits are limited.
