Routing Mumbai to Palawan

Cheapest time to fly and book
Palawan's dry season (December–May) is peak for island-hopping; the wetter months are cheaper. Book 6–10 weeks ahead — the domestic legs to Palawan fill up, especially around Indian and Philippine holidays.

Expect a 5–6h leg to SE Asia, a 3–4h leg to Manila/Cebu, then a ≈ 1h 20m hop to Puerto Princesa. Keep generous layovers, particularly in Manila where domestic flights can use a different terminal. El Nido and Coron need further onward travel.
