Cheap flights from Perth (PER) to Manila (MNL)

Forget what you think you know about Manila. Sure, the megacity has skyscrapers, malls, and legendary traffic, but look beyond that, and you'll find charm and surprises at every turn. 

Ever heard of Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar, the living museum village outside the city? Or the hidden speakeasies serving up locally inspired cocktails in Bonifacio Global City? Even better, Manila’s street-food scene is an adventure all its own (balut eggs optional). 

Fly direct from Perth to Manila and you’ll find yourself exploring heritage towns, sipping single-origin Filipino coffee, or discovering indie music venues long before sunset.
