Booking information
The lowest fares are offered by Bravofly through Skyscanner Austria, using a German-language booking flow.
Gulf Air can also be selected directly from the provider list from approximately €580–€589 return. The difference is around €60–€70, so travellers should compare the final conditions and decide whether the convenience of booking directly with the airline is worth the additional cost.

All listed combinations were checked at approximately €511–€520 through Bravofly, with Gulf Air direct-booking prices around €580–€589. Skyscanner may initially display an older cached price, so continue to the provider page to confirm the latest total.
Why this deal stands out
This is excellent value for a full-service journey from Europe to the Philippines.
The strongest advantages are:
- Very competitive return price
- Only one connection in each direction
- Gulf Air throughout
- 35 kg checked baggage
- Meals included
- Sensible Bahrain connections
- Fourteen prepared date combinations
- Airline-direct booking option available
The main compromises are the overnight timing on the return journey and travel during October and November, which is not the most reliable weather period for every part of the Philippines.
Where to stay in Manila
Spending two or three nights in Manila after the international journey gives travellers time to recover before taking another flight or ferry to one of the islands.
Recommended areas include:
- Makati: restaurants, shopping and comfortable international hotels
- Bonifacio Global City: modern, organised and family-friendly
- Intramuros and Ermita: convenient for historic attractions
- Pasay and Newport: practical for airport access and onward flights
Because Manila traffic can be unpredictable, choose accommodation based on the airport terminal and planned activities rather than price alone.
Featured hotel: New World Makati Hotel
The original deal highlighted the five-star New World Makati Hotel as a comfortable first base after the long flight.
The sample stay from 19–22 October 2026 showed:

- Approximate nightly cost: €101 per room

Suggested Philippines itinerary
Shorter trip
Manila: two or three nights → Bohol and Panglao: four or five nights → final night near Manila Airport
Bohol provides a good mixture of beach time, island excursions and inland sightseeing without requiring too many additional flights.
Two-week trip
Manila: two or three nights → El Nido: four or five nights → Boracay: three or four nights → final flexible night in Manila
Keep at least one buffer night before the international departure, particularly when returning from an island on a separate domestic ticket. Weather can affect domestic flights, ferries and boat excursions.
Excursions and activities in the Philippines
The Philippines offers much 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 the country’s clearest waters.
Popular experiences include boat tours in El Nido and Coron, snorkelling and diving around Cebu and Bohol, visiting the Chocolate Hills, exploring Kawasan Falls, and enjoying sunset cruises or water activities in Boracay.
With thousands of islands to discover, reserving selected excursions in advance can make transport and planning much easier.
