Flights from Melbourne (MEL) to Manila (MNL)

Flight route information

Cathay Pacific offers flights to Manila Ninoy Aquino International Airport (MNL) from Melbourne Airport (MEL), with a layover in Hong Kong. Flights from MEL to MNL take around 12 hours 30 minutes, including the layover, and bring you to Terminal 3 in Manila.

Upon your arrival in Manila

To get to the city centre from the airport, we recommend taking a taxi which will get you there in approximately 30 minutes. Public transport is also readily available from the airport, taking you to major hotels or attractions in Manila. The UBE Express is another convenient option, with shuttles departing regularly from Terminal 3.

A brief introduction to Manila

The bustling capital of the Philippines, this metropolitan oasis is overflowing with enthralling historical landmarks, fascinating culture, and an exceptional dining scene.

Begin your journey with a visit to the captivating walled colonial city of Intramuros, which is situated right in the heart of Old Manila. Here, you can explore and learn about the history of the 16th century San Agustin Church, Manila Cathedral, and Fort Santiago - a former citadel and military prison.

Art enthusiasts will love the city’s many galleries, which include the National Art Gallery, Ysobel Art Gallery, and Ateneo Art Gallery.

Manila is also home to the oldest Chinatown in the world, making it the ideal destination to tantalise your tastebuds by feasting on a wide array of culinary delights. Sample local favourites such as Asado pork and ‘kare-kare’ (oxtail stew in peanut sauce), which blends Indian, Chinese, Spanish, and American influences. We also recommend visiting the restaurants along the palm-lined promenade of Manila Bay as they offer an idyllic location for a seafood dinner overlooking the striking Manila sunset.
