Search & Book

Singapore Airlines

Singapore Airlines flights are a bit easier to find, but harder to get. They are displayed accurately by Google Flights, so you can easily retrieve flight dates there (instructions). Afterwards, you can enter them on skyscanner or Singapore Airlines’ website.

According to fare rules, your stay in Manila has to be at least seven days long and may not exceed three months. Further, Singapore Airlines limits this sale to the following travel periods:

• October 28 – December 15, 2019
• January 6 – February 5, 2020
• February 24 – March 28, 2020

Availability is especially good during the last travel period. While it may run out of availability earlier, this offer will be available until July 2, 2019.

Oman Air

Oman Air’s fare rules offer less restrictions, but shorter availability as well. Travel must commence before Decmber 15, 2019 and has to be at least five days long. Further, it may not exceed three months. Unfortunately, these flights are not displayed correctly by Google Flights. This may result in a bit of clicking on Oman Air’s website, but there is no question that price is worth it.

Availability is still pretty good, so you should be able to find flights quickly for autumn dates.

Mileage

Singapore Airlines

Singapore Airlines issues tickets in booking class D. This is a generous booking class, granting at least 125% of distance miles as award mileage in most Star Alliance frequent flyer programs:

Oman Air

Oman Air tickets are issued in booking class R. Since the carrier is not part of any alliance, you won’t get miles in too many programs. But Oman Air Sindbad and Etihad Guest members will get some nice rewards:

Destination

Information & Tips for Philippines

The Philippines is an archipelago of over 7,000 islands, known for its beaches, diving spots, and volcanic landscapes. Key destinations include Palawan for its limestone cliffs and lagoons, Cebu for diving and whale sharks, and the rice terraces of Banaue. The local currency is the Philippine Peso (PHP). Costs are relatively low, especially outside major cities, with budget-friendly options for food, transport, and lodging. The weather is tropical—hot and humid—with a rainy season typically from June to November and a dry season from December to May.

Getting around the Philippines can be challenging, especially in cities where traffic congestion is common and public transport is limited. In urban areas like Manila, jeepneys, buses, and tricycles are widely used but can be confusing for newcomers. Intercity travel often requires flights due to the country’s island geography, though ferries and long-distance buses are also options. Infrastructure quality varies, and delays are not uncommon, so planning ahead is important.
