Philippine low-cost carrier Cebu Pacific has put an absolutely bonkers fare out there: The carrier currently sells oneway tickets for its nine-hour Manila to Dubai service for as little as €39 (~PHP 2,396). This fare includes a checked bag, but almost everything else like food or beverage options has to be purchased extra.
You can add a flight in the opposite direction for PHP 3,560 (~€58). Combining those add up to a PHP 5,915 (~€96) roundtrip from Manila to Dubai and back.
You can find all available flight dates at the lowest fare in our calendar below. Simply select a date and fire up our flight search or Skyscanner to find these tickets.
Cebu Pacific uses Airbus A330-900neo aircraft between Manila and Dubai – and they are the most densely seated A330s in the world. You will find a rather small 76 cm onboard these planes. Also, they have a 3-3-3 seating pattern instead of the industry standard 2-4-2, meaning seats are also narrower than usual. You can’t expect extra padding or headrests either.
