Cheap flights from Canada to the Philippines from C$ 734

If you’re planning to fly to the Philippines, there are several options regarding the airport you’ll depart from. Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ), Vancouver International Airport (YVR) and Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (YUL) all offer flights to the Philippines from Canada. It just depends on which airport is most convenient for you. Toronto Pearson International Airport is the busiest, with average traffic of about 50 million travellers every year. Upon arrival in the Philippines, you are most likely to land at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (MNL).

Unfortunately, there aren’t any airlines that are offering direct flights to the Philippines. However, if you want to fly from Canada to the Philippines via the shortest route, you can choose a one-stop flight. The quickest one-stop flight to the Philippines is by Air Canada and is about 23 hours, but this includes a 3-hour-long layover in San Francisco. Ironically, the fastest flight between the two countries actually consists of two stops. This flight departs from Calgary International Airport (YYC) with stops in Vancouver and Tokyo before landing in Manila. This flight is just under 20 hours long and is serviced by Air Canada and Japan Airlines.

There are plenty of stopover options when flying to the Philippines from Canada. It just depends on which airline you’re using. For example, when flying via Air Canada, you are most likely to make at least one stopover in one of the Canadian cities of Toronto (YYZ), Montreal (YUL) or Vancouver (YVR). If not in Canada, then it is most likely going to be in the USA, either in San Francisco (SFO) or New York (JFK) and (LGA). On the other hand, Japan Airlines is guaranteed to have at least one stopover in the Japanese airports of Haneda (HND) or Narita (NRT). The length of stopovers depends on many factors, so it is almost impossible to tell how long a stopover in each city will be. Be sure to confirm on your flight details the length of your stopovers to avoid any inconveniences.

Canadian Nationals are required to have a passport to be allowed entry into the Philippines. The passport has to be valid for no less than six months following your planned departure date from the Philippines. As for visa requirements, only Canadian nationals who intend to visit the Philippines temporarily for non-tourism purposes will be required to have a visa. The type of visa depends on the intended purpose for travel (business, work, study, etc.) Anyone else planning to stay in the Philippines for less than 30 days doesn’t require a visa.
