Because Indore is a domestic-focused airport, your itinerary almost always begins with a short IndiGo or Air India hop to Delhi or Mumbai, where the long-haul leg begins. From there, the two most popular routings are via Kuala Lumpur on AirAsia/Malaysia Airlines or via Singapore on Singapore Airlines/Scoot. Travellers on a tighter budget sometimes route through Delhi only and take Cebu Pacific or Philippine Airlines onward. Booking the whole journey on one ticket protects your baggage and connection; self-transfer saves money but you re-check bags and clear immigration at the stop.
Kuala Lumpur is usually the cheapest and most frequent gateway, with AirAsia offering several MNL departures a day. Singapore costs a little more but Changi is a comfortable place to wait. Gulf hubs like Dubai and Doha exist as a routing but add hours since you backtrack west before flying east, so they suit travellers chasing a specific fare rather than speed.
Manila's Ninoy Aquino International Airport has four terminals; international widebodies usually use Terminal 1 or 3. Inter-terminal transfers can take 20–40 minutes by shuttle, so leave buffer if your onward domestic flight to Cebu or Palawan departs from a different terminal. Grab is the easiest way into the city, and an official airport taxi to Makati takes roughly 30–60 minutes depending on traffic. See our Delhi to Manila guide for hub-leg specifics.
Full-service carriers like Malaysia Airlines and Singapore Airlines include 25–30 kg checked baggage, while low-cost options such as AirAsia and Cebu Pacific sell baggage as an add-on — buy it online, as airport rates are far higher. On self-transfer itineraries each airline applies its own allowance, so a 20 kg bag may not carry through. Always weigh hand baggage too; budget carriers strictly enforce a 7 kg cabin limit.
Economy round-trips on this routing typically run ₹38,000–₹62,000 depending on season and how far ahead you book, with the lowest fares appearing in February, June and September. December–January and Holy Week (March/April) are the dearest. Booking 6–10 weeks out usually lands the best balance of price and seat choice. Setting a fare alert helps because Manila pricing swings widely between sales.
Manila is the gateway to the Philippines' 7,000-plus islands. Beyond the capital's malls and Intramuros heritage, most visitors connect onward to Palawan's lagoons, Cebu's diving and Boracay's beaches. The country is also a major hub for Indian seafarers and a sizeable IT/BPO workforce, so this route mixes leisure and work travel. English is widely spoken, which makes getting around far easier than in much of the region.
Indian passport holders need a visa for the Philippines; there is no visa-free entry, though eligible travellers (for example those holding a valid US, UK, Schengen, Japan, Australia or Canada visa) may enter for up to 14 days under the special waiver scheme. Otherwise apply for a tourist visa or the Philippine e-visa ahead of travel. Carry proof of onward/return tickets and hotel bookings. Check our visa guide before you fly, as rules are updated periodically.
