Looking for cheap flights from Delhi to Palawan?

Whether you want a Delhi to Palawan non-stop tomorrow, a last-minute weekend deal or the lowest price three months out, every active Delhi-Palawan fare is one search away.
There is no non-stop, and Palawan's main airport at Puerto Princesa (PPS) is served domestically, so the standard pattern is two hops: get to Manila (MNL), then fly MNL–PPS on Cebu Pacific, Philippine Airlines or PAL Express (about 1h 25m). To reach Manila from Delhi, the cleanest one-connection options route through a South-East Asian hub — Singapore (Singapore Airlines), Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia Airlines/AirAsia), Bangkok or Hong Kong. Booking Delhi–Manila and the Manila–Palawan leg as protected connections on one ticket (or leaving a generous buffer in Manila) avoids missed-connection risk on a self-transfer.
Palawan's peak is the dry season, roughly December to May, especially the Christmas–New Year and Easter weeks and the Indian summer holidays, when fares and resort rates climb. The cheaper, wetter stretch is the south-west monsoon, about June to October. As of May 2026, indicative round-trip economy fares from Delhi run roughly ₹45,000–75,000 depending on routing and season, with the Manila–Puerto Princesa domestic leg often very cheap if booked early. Because every option connects, weigh total journey time against price. Book peak dates 6–10 weeks ahead. Indicative only — check live in the FlightGPT chat.
The quickest single-stop-style journeys run about 12 to 14 hours end to end, typically a Delhi–hub leg, a hub–Manila sector and the short ~1h 25m MNL–PPS hop, plus layovers; two-stop itineraries can reach 16–18 hours or more. Great-circle distance to Puerto Princesa is roughly 4,815 km, though real routings via Manila fly farther east and back. Palawan is 2h 30m ahead of India, so an overnight departure from Delhi commonly lands in Manila in the morning, leaving time for the onward island flight the same day. Leave a comfortable buffer in Manila, particularly if your bags are not checked straight through.
Allowances vary by carrier and ticket. International economy on Singapore Airlines or Malaysia Airlines typically gives 30 kg (or a piece allowance), while low-cost legs on AirAsia or the domestic Cebu Pacific MNL–PPS hop often sell baggage as a paid add-on — cheaper pre-booked online than at the airport. The catch is consistency: if your booking mixes a full-service international fare with a separate budget domestic ticket, the allowances will not match and bags may need re-checking in Manila. Wherever possible, book through on one ticket so the higher international allowance and through-checked bags apply. Request a vegetarian (VGML) meal in advance on the long sectors.
Delhi (DEL) — international flights depart Terminal 3, about 16 km from the city. Your connection is normally at a large SE-Asia hub (Changi, KLIA, Bangkok) and then Manila (MNL), Ninoy Aquino International — note MNL has four terminals and changing terminal for a domestic onward flight can mean an inter-terminal transfer, so allow time. Puerto Princesa (PPS) is a compact single-terminal airport right in the city, a short ride from the bay-front hotels; it is the springboard for road and van transfers up to El Nido (a long but scenic 5–6 hours) or boats to the bays. Confirm whether your itinerary uses MNL or routes via Cebu.
Indian passport holders currently get visa-free entry to the Philippines for tourist stays of up to 30 days, provided you meet the conditions: a passport valid at least six months, a confirmed return or onward ticket, proof of hotel bookings and sufficient funds. The stay can usually be extended at a Philippine immigration office once in-country. Rules can change and holders of certain valid US, Schengen, UK, Australian or Japanese visas have separate facilitation, so check the latest before you fly. Full guidance is in the Visas guide.
Palawan is best in the dry season, roughly December to May, when calm seas and clear skies suit island-hopping around El Nido and Coron, diving, and the Puerto Princesa Underground River. March and April are reliably sunny but the busiest and priciest. The south-west monsoon (about June to October) brings heavier rain and rougher seas, with the tail end overlapping typhoon season, so build in buffer time. The shoulder months around late November and early December can offer a good balance of weather and value. For trip ideas, see the destinations guide.
