Which airlines fly direct from Manila to Osaka?

Philippine Airlines, Cebu Pacific and Jetstar Japan all operate nonstop flights on this route, giving a spread between a full-service Philippine carrier and two low-cost options.

What drives the fare

With three carriers competing, fares from AU$194 sit fairly competitively, though prices firm up around cherry blossom season in spring, Japan's Golden Week in early May, and the Christmas-New Year stretch.

Which airport do I land at in Osaka?

Flights land at Kansai International Airport, built on reclaimed land in Osaka Bay about 50 kilometres from the city centre. The Nankai and JR rail lines both run direct express services into central Osaka, alongside airport limousine buses.

What you need to travel

Manila to Osaka is an international flight, so check your passport's remaining validity against Japan's current entry requirements and whether a visa or electronic travel authorisation applies before you fly. Requirements can change, so confirm with the official source close to your departure date.

Time difference

Osaka runs one hour ahead of Manila, with no daylight saving on either side, so the gap stays the same all year.
