Manila: €622 Etihad Flights from Brussels, Munich & Zurich (Incl. Checked Bag, Long Layovers)

Etihad Airways is offering a deal from Europe to Manila, starting at just €585. This fare doesn’t include checked luggage, but you can add a 30 kg bag by selecting the Value fare on the airline’s website for €36 both ways. Departures are scattered from July 2025 to May 2026.

While there are (a very limited number) of travel dates with shorter stops, in the majority of cases you will have at least one long layover in Abu Dhabi to get the lowest price. Since it is a daytime stopover, you can seize the opportunity to visit Abu Dhabi.

You can fly from the following airports with this offer (w/o checked bags):

• Brussels at €585
• Munich at €629
• Zurich at CHF 602 (~€644)

Our availability calendar highlights all possible flight dates at the lowest price for trips up to 28 days. It will forward you to Etihad with your selected flight dates.

First, you will fly from Europe to Abu Dhabi on their Boeing 787 with a 3-3-3 configuration, except for the night flight from Zurich, which is operated with an Airbus A321neo with a 3-3 configuration. Then, you will continue your journey to Manila on an Etihad Boeing 777 with a 3-4-3 configuration.

According to the fare rules, this deal will expire on June 30, 2025. A minimum stay of four days and a maximum stay of four months applies. Departures are scattered from July 2025 to May 2026.

You can find suitable dates using our calendar above or with the help of Google Flights. We recommend booking directly on Airline’s website, but you can find cheaper prices with Skyscanner. However, booking on OTAs has its downsides.

Why is booking with an airline better than with an online travel agency?

More often than not, online travel agencies offer lower fares than airlines do. We still recommend booking with the airlines directly. There are two main reasons for that:

Better Customer Service
In case any problems like delays, cancellations or missed connections arise, you can communicate directly with the airline. The airline has to take care of you because you have a contract with them.

If a travel agency issues your ticket, you may have to reach out to them first. You also depend on your OTA to forward information like flight changes instead of receiving them directly from the airline. In many cases, you may get a prime exhibition of responsibility shifting rather than problem-solving.

This especially applies to premium tickets. You don’t want to spend more than €1,000 to wind up with some budget OTA’s telephone hotline in case anything goes wrong.

Baggage and Other Fees
Economy fares not including hold luggage are industry standard by now. In most cases, travel agencies charge much higher baggage fees than the airlines themselves. If bags are not included in your fare, airlines are often the cheaper alternative.

This also applies to other things like food services, insurances or priority treatment. In almost all cases, you pay less for additional amenities when booking on the airlines’ website.

Miles & Points

This ticket is issued in booking class E. Here are the miles and points you can earn from this deal from Brussels:
