Manila airport and city transit
Ninoy Aquino International (MNL) is the main gateway to the Philippines, about 7 km from Makati, the business district. Airport taxis and Grab rides into Makati take 20–40 minutes depending on Manila's notorious traffic and cost roughly 300–500 PHP (₹450–750). Use the official yellow metered taxis or Grab rather than touts. MNL has four terminals, so check which terminal your onward flight or return uses, as inter-terminal transfers can take time.
Baggage and what to expect on fares
Full-service carriers like Singapore Airlines and Philippine Airlines typically include 25–30 kg checked baggage in economy, while budget carriers such as AirAsia and Cebu Pacific sell baggage as an add-on, so include it in your budget. Cabin baggage is usually 7 kg. Economy round-trips from Goa to Manila typically run ₹35,000–₹58,000 depending on season and airline, rising over the winter peak. Booking 6–10 weeks ahead usually gives better fares.
Best time to visit the Philippines
Fares are cheapest from June to September, which is the wet season and overlaps with the typhoon period, so monitor weather forecasts. The dry season runs roughly December to May, with December–April the most popular and pricier time to visit the beaches of Palawan, Boracay and Cebu. For a balance of decent weather and value, the November and early-December shoulder works well. Manila itself is warm and humid year-round.
Why Indians travel to Manila
Manila is the entry point to the Philippines' 7,000-plus islands, with onward flights to Palawan, Boracay, Cebu and Bohol for some of Asia's finest beaches and diving. Indian visitors come for leisure, island-hopping honeymoons, and business in sectors like BPO and shipping, where Indian professionals work alongside Filipino teams. English is widely spoken, which makes navigating easy, and the friendly hospitality and affordable island resorts are big draws.
Philippines visa and entry for Indians
Indian passport holders generally need a visa for the Philippines, available as an e-visa or consular sticker. Importantly, Indians holding a valid visa or permanent residence for the US, UK, Schengen, Canada, Australia or Japan can enter visa-free for up to 14 days (extendable), which many travellers use. Otherwise apply for a 9(a) tourist visa in advance. Ensure your passport has at least 6 months' validity and onward tickets. Check our visa guide for the latest rules before booking.
