You first fly Lucknow to Delhi (DEL) on IndiGo, Air India or Vistara, then continue internationally. From Delhi, Singapore Airlines/Scoot connect via Singapore, Malaysia Airlines/AirAsia via Kuala Lumpur, and Thai Airways via Bangkok. The Manila legs are operated by Philippine Airlines, Cebu Pacific and the hub carriers. Singapore and Kuala Lumpur usually provide the smoothest single-ticket combinations.
Singapore (SIN) offers the most frequent, reliable MNL connections; Kuala Lumpur (KUL) is often the cheapest on AirAsia; Bangkok (BKK) works when timings align. Because Manila lies further east, total travel runs a longer 13–17 hours.

Manila's Ninoy Aquino International Airport (MNL) has four terminals, with international arrivals at T1 or T3. Makati, the business district, is only about 7 km away, but heavy traffic means a 30–60 minute drive. Use official airport taxi coupon counters or a Grab booking instead of touts, and carry Philippine pesos — ATMs are available at all terminals.
Full-service carriers such as Singapore Airlines, Philippine Airlines and Malaysia Airlines include 25–30 kg checked baggage in economy. Budget legs on Scoot, Cebu Pacific and AirAsia charge for bags, so pre-purchase 20 kg if needed. Return economy fares from Lucknow generally run ₹33,000–₹62,000 depending on dates and lead time.
Booking 8–10 weeks ahead helps, and keeping a 3-hour-plus layover protects you when domestic and international tickets are on separate PNRs.
The Philippines has a dry season (roughly December to May) and a wet, typhoon season (June to October). December to February is the most comfortable and the priciest. March to May is hot. September to November can be good value between typhoons, but watch weather advisories. Avoid the Holy Week peak (March/April) for domestic onward travel, when fares and crowds rise.
Manila is a hub for Indian professionals in BPO and shipping and a gateway to the Philippines' famous islands — Palawan's El Nido, Cebu, Bohol and Boracay are short domestic hops. The city blends Spanish-era Intramuros, large malls and a lively food scene. English is widely spoken, making travel easy for Indians, and Indian restaurants in Makati and BGC make vegetarian dining straightforward.
Indian citizens generally need a visa for the Philippines, applied for in advance as a sticker or e-visa through the embassy or online e-Visa system. Holders of a valid US, UK, Schengen, Japan, Australia or Canada visa may enter visa-free for up to 14 days under set conditions. Standard tourist visa processing usually takes 5–10 working days, so apply early and confirm current rules before you book.
No non-stop exists. You connect through a hub, with total travel time of roughly 13–17 hours via Singapore, KL or Bangkok.
The distance is about 4,900 km, which together with the layover makes the journey around 13–17 hours.
Economy round-trips typically range ₹33,000–₹62,000 depending on season and airline, with the best fares usually 8–10 weeks out.
Generally yes, though holders of a valid US/UK/Schengen/Japan visa may enter visa-free for up to 14 days under set conditions.
Manila is 2 hours 30 minutes ahead of India, on UTC+8 against IST at UTC+5:30.
Ninoy Aquino Airport is about 7 km from Makati, though traffic can make the drive take 30–60 minutes.
